Box Office: Midway Defeats Doctor Sleep

In an underwhelming weekend at the box office, Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan's sequel to The Shining (that honors both Stephen King's pages and Stanley Kubrick's vision) performed below expectations with an estimated $14.5 million domestic take.

Per Deadline, Doctor Sleep, which cost over $50 million to make, was expected to pull in over $25 million in its debut weekend.

Besting its lowest projections, and taking the number one spot, was Roland Emmerich's WW II movie Midway, starring the ensemble cast of Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, Ed Skrein, Nick Jonas, Patrick Wilson, Darren Criss, Aaron Eckhart, Mandy Moore, and Dennis Quaid.

With 2020 bringing back a handful of huge movie properties from the '80s, '90s, and Aughts, we polled the IGN community and asked which film franchise you were most looking forward to seeing return.

Star Wars: Early Art Shows Kylo Ren Looking More Like Darth Vader

With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming December 20, and Kylo Ren's full repaired mask returning, Lucasfilm concept designer Christian Alzmann posted some early art ideas for Kylo's helmet on Instagram.

As you can see, the original take on Kylo's top seemed like an attempt to emulate, in some regard, Darth Vader. There's the breathing-mask element plus the peaked dome top that comes down over the ears. Character-wise, it would have fit with Kylo's admiration of his grandfather, but the choice was made to go a different route.

IGN’s Top 10 Best Comic Book Video Games Ever Made

For all the comic book superhero video games released over the years, you’d think there would be more gems in the mix but for a long time, they were quite rare. Thankfully, in more recent years, there has been a ton of fantastic developers who have been given the freedom to really explore why we love these consumed heroes and brought that into the video game world. We’ve collected ten of the best comic book video games that managed to capture our imaginations.

10. TMNT Arcade

Flying out of the sewers and into the action, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game was one of the first from Konami to bring the fearsome foursome onto the beat em' up scene way back in 1989. That was three years before Konami's other classic X-Men Arcade was brought in, allowing six players to get in on the action at the same time. The Turtle classic had the added benefit of being released around the height of Ninja Turtle fever during the original cartoon series' heyday.

Pokemon Fans Light Up Social Media With #ThankYouGameFreak

If you’ve been paying attention to the last few months of Pokemon news, it’s no secret that the franchise’s fan community is a little concerned about just how innovative Pokemon Sword and Shield will really be. A vocal contingent of the Pokemon fandom has been very critical of developer Game Freak, and have only been spurred on by recent leaks. To put a bow on it, Game Freak decided to cancel their Tokyo launch event for Sword and Shield due to “operational reasons.”

Joker Star Wants to Be a Part of the MCU’s X-Men

Joker has not only become the most profitable comic book movie of all time but it's led to many discussions, story-wise, about what's real and what's not with regards to Arthur Fleck's unreliable narrator status. A centerpiece of this is Zazie Beetz's neighbor character, Sophie, who was crucial to one of the twists in the plot, and whose ultimate fate was left unanswered.

Beetz is also know for playing a big role in another comic book movie, as she was Deadpool 2's super-powered luck machine Domino. Of course, Deadpool is (the R-rated) part of Fox's X-Men universe, but now that Disney's brought the X-Men film rights back to Marvel, and Marvel plans on making an X-Men movie at some point, Beetz has gone on record saying she'd love to play Storm.

The Best Games of 2019 (Didn’t Do Anything New)

Ray tracing, haptic feedback, social strands, surprise mechanics, 8k resolution, “play as anyone”, adaptive triggers, games-as-service, advanced processing units... it never ends with the buzzwords, jfc.

Now, I know we’re supposed to be excited about all this new technology and all these new way to play games, and I’m as likely as the next guy to pre-order a PS5 and/or Xbox... Two? Good-looking games are better than the alternative, no one is arguing that.

Yeah, no thanks

AND YET! Is any of this crap going to make games more fun? Did playing Borderlands 2 in VR make it more enjoyable, or did it make you motion-sick? The Fornite Black Hole event was novel, sure, but Is Season 2 of Fortnite doing anything that “Season 1” wasn’t already doing? Did turning Fallout into a weird MMO social experiment make it more fun than a regular-ass Fallout game would have been?
