In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Scott spoke about the meticulous attention to detail that his team of department heads and consultants applied to the upcoming biopic that stars Joaquin Phoenix as […]
“PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie” (Paramount) topped “Saw X” (Lionsgate) by a healthy $5 million ($23 million to $18 million) on a weekend when either seemed feasible at #1.
