More recently, she’s explored different types of movies, including the action thriller The Mother, the science fiction film Atlas, and the musical Kiss of the Spider Woman.

Sydney Sweeney experienced both successes and failures recently. In 2024, while films like Anyone But You and Immaculate performed well, Eden lost money and Madame Web received poor reviews.

Good news for fans! The ‘Burbs has been officially picked up for a second season. This isn’t shocking, considering the show performed well after it premiered on Peacock on February 8th.

Critics also generally liked the reboot, giving it an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ryan Coogler is working on a new series, but details about how it connects to the original show are still unclear. Gillian Anderson recently mentioned she’s read scripts and believes the series will be fantastic, which has now prompted David Duchovny to discuss his potential involvement.

Universal’s new romantic comedy, You, Me & Tuscany, had a solid opening weekend in theaters. It debuted at number four among new releases, behind Super Mario Bros. 2, Project Hail Mary, and The Drama, earning $8 million domestically against an $18 million budget. The film also made $1.1 million internationally. With a 70% score on Rotten Tomatoes and positive audience reviews, You, Me & Tuscany could become a sleeper hit in the coming weeks. Alternatively, it might fade quickly, recouping its costs through on-demand rentals. Either way, it’s unlikely to significantly impact Universal’s overall financial performance, especially with major releases from Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielberg, and Minions still to come this year.
