THR is reporting that M. Night Shyamalan's Glass looks to do near-record business at the box office over the long Martin Luther King Jr. weekend.

Tracking shows the film debuting in the $60 million-$70 million range domestically, the best start for the holiday behind Clint Eastwood's 2015 film American Sniper ($107.2 million), not adjusted for inflation. Ride Along turned in the next-biggest holiday gross with a four-day debut of $48.6 million in 2014.

Usually, MLK weekend boasts several new Hollywood offerings. This year, rival studios stayed away because of Glass, a superhero thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis and James McAvoy.

Glass is the final title in the original trilogy created by Shyamalan that began 19 years ago with Disney's Unbreakable, starring Willis and Jackson, and followed by Universal's Split, a surprise 2015 box-office hit starring McAvoy whose final scene linked to the filmmaker's 2000 film.

Netflix has dropped a new featurette focusing on its prequel to Jim Henson's beloved Dark Crystal.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance hits Netflix on Friday, August 30th.

Disney is pushing Cruella from Dec. 23, 2020, to May 28, 2021, the beginning of the lucrative Memorial Day weekend, THR reports.

Emma Stone stars as Cruella de Vil, the villain of the 1961 animated classic 101 Dalmatians.

It's not a surprise that Disney is moving Cruella, since Steven Spielberg's West Side Story — another property inherited in its deal with Fox — is set to open over Christmas 2020.

When FX CEO John Landgraf was reviewing dailies on the network's highly anticipated adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan's beloved graphic novel Y: The Last Man, he instantly recognized the face of one of the actors. In fact, he was convinced it was someone he worked with on Friends during his stint running the current department at NBC.

Turns out, Landgraf was right — the pet monkey he saw onscreen starring opposite Y lead Barry Keoghan was in fact the same monkey from Friends. In real life, she's a female named Katie, but for Y she’s playing the opposite sex.

The story centers on Keoghan’s Yorick Brown, the last surviving man on Earth, who is on a mission to find out why the male population has been wiped out. His primate companion, Ampersand (Katie), is the only other male mammal to have survived the plague.

THR checked in with representatives for Katie’s animal trainer, who confirmed the casting as well as her age: She’s currently in her mid- to late 20s and still has plenty of career left as capuchin monkeys can live to the ripe old age of 40.

But there’s one hitch. Although Katie has already filmed her part in the pilot, the show has weathered changes at the top with showrunners Aida Croal and Michael Green being replaced by Eliza Clark. Because of the swap, it’s unclear if Katie will continue on the project or if she’ll be replaced by a CGI version by the time the show debuts in 2020.

Deadline reports that Canadian actor Juan Riedinger has landed the recurring role of Dodger, Archie’s nemesis, in Season 4 of the CW’s Riverdale.

Riedinger recently finished a season-long turn as Joe Dupree on TNT’s Claws and also had a recurring role as Teo on Good Behavior, TNT’s edgy Michelle Dockery crime noir series.

Season 4 of Riverdale premieres at 8 p.m. Wednesday, October 9, on The CW.

Variety reports that Lana Wachowski is set to write and direct a fourth film set in the world of The Matrix, with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.

Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures will produce and globally distribute the film. Warner Bros. Picture Group chairman Toby Emmerich made the announcement on Tuesday.

“We could not be more excited to be re-entering The Matrix with Lana,” said Emmerich. “Lana is a true visionary — a singular and original creative filmmaker — and we are thrilled that she is writing, directing and producing this new chapter in The Matrix universe.”

In addition to Wachowski, the script was also written by Aleksandar Hemon and David Mitchell. Wachowski is also producing with Grant Hill. Sources say the film is eyed to begin production at the top of 2020.

Deadline is reporting exclusively that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige won’t produce any further Spider-Man films because of an inability by Disney and Sony Pictures to reach new terms that would have given the former a co-financing stake going forward.

A dispute that has taken place over the past few months at the top of Disney and Sony has essentially nixed Feige, and the future involvement of Marvel from the Spider-Man universe, the site reports.

There is a lot of webbing here, but it all comes down to money. Disney asked that future Spider-Man films be a 50/50 co-financing arrangement between the studios, and there were discussions that this might extend to other films in the Spider-Man universe. Sony turned that offer down. Led by Tom Rothman and Tony Vinciquerra, Sony just simply didn’t want to share its biggest franchise. Sony proposed keeping the arrangement going under the current terms where Marvel receives in the range of 5% of first dollar gross, sources said. Disney refused.

Sources said Disney’s top brass for the past several months has sought new terms for Feige and the Marvel cross-pollination to continue. As the Spider-Man relationship grew, Feige and Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman spoke about the possibility of a wider involvement in the Sony-controlled Spider-Man universe, which contains 900 characters.

No comment to Deadline's report from Marvel/Disney, Feige or Sony Pictures.
