Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell definitely took advantage of all the off-screen affair rumors surrounding their romantic comedy Anyone but You.

Though its theatrical run was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, The Invisible Man still managed to take in an impressive $144.5 million dollars at the box office against a budget of just $7 million, and while it's been four years since its release, star Elisabeth Moss says that a sequel is closer than ever.

The sequel to Snyder's Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire, the film claimed the top spot on Netflix's weekly streaming chart upon its release.

Deadpool & Wolverine director, Shawn Levy, has found a silver-lining in the film's production shutdown, caused by the joint SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes.
