Entertainment Lawyers

 Is what the world needs right now another Avengers movie? It seems that’s what Disney have decided, at least. Announced alongside their ComicCon-focused activities, we’ve seen the two new titles added to the upcoming superhero slate. Brandon Blake, entertainment attorney at Blake & Wang P.A, breaks down the announcement.                                                                       Brandon Blake Phase 6 Wraps Up The two new titles, Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars are both slated for a 2025 release date currently. They will bring to a close the wildly successful MCU films, or at least the projected sixth phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Phases four through six are currently being sold as the Multiverse Saga. The last Avengers title, Avengers: Endgame, still keeps its title as the second-highest grossing film of all time, so it’s easy to see why they’ve added two new titles in this particular branch of the interlacing MCU films. Overall, the exte

 The return of Chris Hemsworth to the titular role in the fourth installment of Marvel’s stand-alone Thor franchise has paid off hugely for the franchise. Earning $302M globally, it’s officially the best opener for the films. Brandon Blake, entertainment lawyer with Blake & Wang P.A, shares the details.                                                           Brandon Blake Boosting the Box Office Rally As well as setting a juicy new record for the stand-alone franchise, its domestic opening of $143M will also be a welcome padding for the 2022 Box Office recovery. It also takes third position behind Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for the best opening of the pandemic era. This places it 29th overall for the MCU titles. A global start of $302M is nothing to sneeze at, especially from the fourth installment in a spin-off franchise. The Thor series, in particular, has never been one for mega-debuts. Strangely, it scored less positively with aud

 HBO has been a cornerstone of the cable contingent at the Television Critics Association’s Summer Press Tour for decades, but not this year. This is possibly the first time in current memory that they’ll be absent from the tour, but with a major merger on their hands to manage, it might be a smart move. Blake & Wang P.A entertainment lawyer , Brandon Blake, has more.                                                                Brandon Blake Skipping the Press Tour Entirely While it’s usual wall-to-wall panels and glittering stars will no doubt be missed, the newly merged entity is in a tricky place currently. As they fight to synergize the two entities, and as some layoffs inevitably occur- and have been scheduled for the middle of the TCA- it’s easy to see why a splashy tour may have been in poor taste to start with, too. After all, in 2018 we saw the Winter 2018 Press Tour become a rather inappropriate vehicle to announce buyouts as part of the cuts stemming from AT&T’s ac

 The little yellow heartstring tuggers have done it again. Minions: The Rise of Gru has managed to pull in not only the best previews for an animated picture in the pandemic era, but also nabbed themselves an Independence Day 4-day opening record, too. Entertainment attorney at Blake & Wang P.A, Brandon Blake, breaks the Grus…er..news                                                                           Brandon Blake Independence Day Record Over its 4-day Independence Day weekend opening, Minions: The Rise of Gru has netted a solid $125.1M. Its 3-day of $107M is also the second-best in the franchise, after the 2015 Minions movie. Its 4-day takings also are hot on the heels of the original Minions movie, which took in $128.7M Of course, there’s no real question why. The comically wordless, frantic antics of the Minions IP has been backed by a multimillion dollar marketing campaign spanning the whole globe, and various kid-centric marketing items have netted extraordinary tie-in

 It’s been another milestone weekend at the global box office, with both Top Gun: Maverick, and Jurassic World: Dominion soaring to new heights. Blake & Wang P.A entertainment attorney , Brandon Blake, dives into the facts and figures.                                                                Brandon Blake Top Gun Crosses $1B Not only has Top Gun: Maverick managed to cross the $500M mark domestically and the $1B mark globally, but it’s also done so within its first 31 days, a fear managed only twice in the pandemic period. This new record also makes it Tom Cruise’s highest grossing movie of all time. Additionally, and despite a rather rocky start, Jurassic World: Dominion now sits at $747M globally, making it the seventh pandemic-launched movie to cross the $700M threshold. With only a 45% drop, that strongly suggests it, too, could be headed for the $1B mark eventually. After some very mixed critical reception, that’s quite a turn-around.  Smaller Pics Shine Nor is the positi
