It turns out that 'Downton Abbey' fandom is alive and well, as the film adaptation of the popular TV show became Focus Features' highest opening weekend ever with its $31 million, hinting at a new trend in TV-to-film adaptations for studios.
And thanks to both 'Ad Astra' and 'Rambo: Last Blood', we longer have to talk about 'The Lion King' as part of the top five (thank the heavens!!!), as the two films open right near each other. Nick and Brennan discuss these two films -- with a bit of an extended conversation on 'Ad Astra' -- as well as 'Hustlers' continued success and a look at awards season as it begins to take shape. All this and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

By the power of JLo, Cardi B, Lizzo, and others, 'Hustlers' was the big winner of the weekend, earning over $33 million and becoming a MUCH-needed hit for STX Entertainment, famed distributor of 'UglyDolls'.
And while 'It Chapter Two' walked away with another solid week, the other big story of the week was the awards coming out of TIFF. We cover all this and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

As expected, 'It Chapter Two' started the fall movie season off with a bang, despite tracking behind 'It' (2017) in overall numbers. However, we discuss why this sequel did not work as well as its predecessor in a spoiler discussion of the film.
However, the most curious news of the week was 'Joker' earning the top prize at the Venice Film Festival with Roman Polanski's 'An Officer and a Spy' getting second-place honors. Collin and Nick discuss what this means for the growing Oscar race along with much more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

Wait, so you're telling me that movies like 'Don't Let Go', 'Bennett's War', and 'Killerman' don't excite you?
Luckily for everyone, we have no interest in discussing these films either, so we're doing a little something different this time around by looking back at the summer movie season as a whole. What were our favorite movies? How about our most disappointing? What dog voiced by an actor did we like the best? We tackle all this and more on this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

We're winding down to the end of the summer, which means that Hollywood is giving up on releasing movies until September. Nevertheless, movies such as 'Angel Has Fallen', 'Overcomer', and 'Ready Or Not' opened up right around studio expectations.
But the main story of the week is undoubtedly the possible split between Disney/Marvel and Sony over Spider-Man, leaving the character out of the MCU for the time being. What does the future hold for the web-slinger? We answer all this and more on this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

For what seems like the first time in quite a while, a movie that isn't the next phase in an existing franchise or the relaunch of an existing IP secured the top spot at the box office. 'Good Boys' opened strong, securing over $21 million and upending 'Hobbs and Shaw' from first place.
However, not every smaller release succeeded this week. '47 Meters Down: Uncaged', 'Blinded by the Light', and 'Where'd You Go, Bernadette' all came in under expectations, once again putting into question the financial viability of movies with lower production budgets. Nick and Brennan discuss the current state of distribution for such films, and the struggles of creating smaller content in 2019. We discuss all this and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

Somehow, five movies opened in over 1,000 theaters this weekend, meaning that some of them were bound to fall through the cracks. The main losers were 'Brian Banks' and 'The Kitchen', two films that will quickly disappear from your purview. However, both 'Scary Stories' and 'Dora and the Lost City of Gold' opened strong behind 'Hobbs and Shaw' which stayed in the first spot. We cover this and more on this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!

'Hobb and Shaw' is plenty stupid, but it also made plenty of money in its first weekend, earning $180 million around the world ahead of its Chinese opening in a few weeks. Though its budget is a hefty $200 million, it should benefit from limited blockbuster competition until September.
We're into the middle of August now, which means that we're hitting a weird middle ground between the summer and awards seasons. Many smaller and independent movies will come out in the next few weeks, but which will become successful? We discuss all this and more in this week's episode of The MovieBabble Podcast!
