Sunny Lab has revealed its upcoming project, The Witch’s Bakery, a 2D RPG that promises to captivate players with its aesthetic inspired by Studio Ghibli, specifically Kiki’s Delivery Service.

This charming game invites players to take on the role of Lunne, a baking witch who not only runs her own bakery but also works to heal the hearts of the residents of Paris through her baked goods.

The Witch’s Bakery takes place in a vibrant Parisian setting, where players must balance managing their shop with exploring the city.

Dare to try it: it will enchant you

Throughout the day, Lunne will go through different phases: first, she will attend to her customers in the bakery, then she will explore the streets of the French capital to interact with unique characters, and finally, she will have time to rest and improve her magical skills during the night. This dynamic gameplay promises to offer a comforting and immersive pace.

Since its launch on Kickstarter, The Witch’s Bakery has raised over 300,000 euros, demonstrating notable interest and strong support from the video game enthusiast community.

In a thank-you message, the Sunny Lab team expressed their gratitude to the backers, stating that “this journey has been incredible” and that they have received “the greatest gift of all: the opportunity to share the story they have always dreamed of telling.”

The release of The Witch’s Bakery is scheduled for 2026, and players can already add it to their wish lists on the PlayStation Store and Steam. With its hand-drawn visuals that evoke a retro feel, this title promises to be a delight not only for Studio Ghibli fans but also for those seeking a comforting and magical experience in video games.

We already know what the October releases are making at the box office: Black Phone 2, One Battle After Another…

During the Halloween weekend, the movie “Black Phone 2,” produced by Blumhouse and distributed by Universal, achieved a significant milestone by grossing a total of 104.7 million dollars worldwide. Of this amount, 7.3 million was made during this festive period alone. Although the weekend has been perceived as ‘a bit dull’ overall, the film has managed to stand out among the cinematic offerings of the season.

During the Halloween weekend, the movie “Black Phone 2,” produced by Blumhouse and distributed by Universal, achieved a significant milestone by grossing a total of 104.7 million dollars worldwide.

Of this amount, 7.3 million was achieved only during this festive period. Although the weekend has been perceived as ‘a bit boring’ overall, the movie has managed to stand out among the cinematic offerings of the season.

International audiences have had a positive response to “Black Phone 2,” which has significantly contributed to its global success. The figures reflect an increase in public interest outside the United States, suggesting that the combination of horror and captivating storytelling has resonated well with viewers from diverse cultures and backgrounds.

This box office performance is remarkable, especially considering the context of a weekend where other film productions have not been able to effectively capture the audience’s attention.

Throughout these holiday days, the movie has managed to exceed expectations and take advantage of the Halloween atmosphere, a time when horror productions usually perform better.

With “Black Phone 2” surpassing the 100 million dollar mark, the success of the film is solidified as one of the most prominent of the year, and it will likely inspire other studios to follow the same production model.

Additionally, it has been rumored that this result could pave the way for future installments in the franchise, given the interest shown by fans and the supportive box office reaction.

It has been the worst weekend since 1997 at the cinemas in the U.S., the culprit?

The movie theaters in the United States have experienced the worst weekend of the year in terms of box office revenue, reaching only 49 million dollars, the lowest figure since 1997. This discouraging result is due to a combination of factors, among which the celebration of Halloween and the decisive game of the World Series of baseball stand out, but what has impacted the most has been the lack of major releases. During the weekend, the highest-grossing film was the re-release of ‘Back to the Future’, which accumulated 4.7 million dollars in 2,290 theaters

The movie theaters in the United States have experienced the worst weekend of the year in terms of box office revenue, reaching only 49 million dollars, the lowest figure since 1997.

This discouraging result is due to a combination of factors, among which the celebration of Halloween and the decisive game of the World Series of baseball stand out, but what has impacted the most has been the scarcity of major releases.

During the weekend, the highest-grossing film was the re-release of ‘Back to the Future’, which accumulated 4.7 million dollars in 2,290 theaters. Next, in ninth place, ‘Frankie and the Monsters’ barely managed to earn 2.1 million dollars since its release on Wednesday.

A Nightmare Weekend

This lack of significant new titles has led to alarming numbers, with October being a disastrous month for the box office, which has only managed to gather a total of 425 million dollars.

The situation has been exacerbated by the delays of anticipated releases, such as ‘Mortal Kombat 2’, which was originally scheduled for October 24 and has now been postponed until May 2026.

Meanwhile, ‘Despite You’ and ‘Black Phone 2’, the two highlighted releases from October 24, are in a tight competition, with estimates indicating that the former has grossed 8.1 million dollars, while the horror sequel has achieved 8 million.

Hoping to improve the situation, it is expected that ‘Predator: Badlands’ and other major releases like ‘Wicked 2’ and ‘Zootopia 2’, scheduled for the end of November, will drive new box office numbers.

However, the film market remains at a critical point, and it will be interesting to see if these releases manage to revitalize the public’s interest in movie theaters.

Famke Janssen, famous for her iconic role as Jean Grey in the X-Men saga, has expressed her desire to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Despite several of her former co-stars reuniting for the project Avengers: Doomsday, the actress has revealed that she has never been contacted by Disney to discuss a possible return of her iconic character, known for her extraordinary psychic abilities.

Since she first portrayed Jean Grey over 25 years ago, Janssen has remained closely tied to this iconic comic book character. Her psychic powers not only make her key in the X-Men universe, but they have also left an indelible mark on pop culture.

Famke Janssen wants to reprise her role as Jean Grey in the Marvel universe

However, despite the ongoing popularity of the franchise, the actress has pointed out that she has had no dialogue with Marvel about her return to the role, stating that “every time I see my coworkers, I ask them about it, but I haven’t heard anything.”

There is no doubt that the possibility of seeing Janssen again as Jean Grey would excite many fans, especially considering the reinvention of the MCU and the desire to bring back actors who have made milestones in superhero cinema.

Rumors suggest that the company is considering bringing back several iconic characters from past franchises, so there is still hope that a conversation about Janssen’s return is not too far off.

Meanwhile, the actress continues to focus on her current projects, while a countless number of fans are waiting to hear news about her role in the Marvel multiverse. However, time is running out and fans are eager to see how one of the most beloved figures of the mutant universe could be reinterpreted in this new era of superhero cinema.

Dave Franco believes that his success has nothing to do with his brother James Franco

James Franco, the American actor and director, has resurfaced in the film industry after a tumultuous period that culminated in a lawsuit in 2019 filed by two students from his acting school, who accused him of inappropriate behavior and abuse of power. This controversy resulted in a $2 million settlement reached in 2021. However, in 2025, Franco has returned to the spotlight with the release of four new projects and another eight in the pipeline, challenging notions about the effectiveness of cancel culture.

James Franco, the American actor and director, has made a comeback in the film industry after a tumultuous period that culminated in a 2019 lawsuit filed by two students from his acting school, who accused him of inappropriate behavior and abuse of power.

This controversy resulted in a 2 million dollar settlement reached in 2021. However, in 2025, Franco has returned to the spotlight with the launch of four new projects and another eight in the pipeline, challenging notions about the effectiveness of cancel culture.

In the midst of this comeback, his brother Dave Franco has also had a prominent role in the film industry. Since his big screen debut in ‘Superbad’, his career has gained significant momentum starting in 2010 with hits like ‘Now You See Me’ and ’21 Jump Street’.

The Franco Brothers Make a Strong Comeback to Theaters

In recent interviews, Dave has been clear in emphasizing that his success is not solely due to his relationship with James, but to his own talent and effort. “If I had been bad, I would have disappeared very quickly,” he stated in an interview with Bustle.

Dave also addresses the issue of nepotism, acknowledging that while having a well-known surname can open doors, talent and dedication are essential to staying in the industry.

James, who had already established his career in the early 2000s, not only provided opportunities for his brother, but has also been a source of inspiration for his professional growth.

As both brothers continue their paths, the industry watches with interest how each manages their family legacy and their respective careers, whether overcoming controversies or thriving in their own right.

The fourth season of The Witcher arrives very late to Netflix

The showrunner of “The Witcher,” Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, has announced that she expects a shorter wait time between seasons 4 and 5 of the hit Netflix series. This statement comes after the long wait of two and a half years that fans had to face between the third and fourth seasons, which premiered on October 30. Hissrich attributed part of this delay to the writers’ strike that affected the production of the fourth season, thus also compromising the scheduling of the next installment. Hopefully, the fifth season won’t take another three […]

The showrunner of “The Witcher,” Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, has announced that she hopes for a shorter wait time between seasons 4 and 5 of the hit Netflix series.

This statement comes after the long wait of two and a half years that fans had to endure between the third and fourth seasons, which premiered on October 30th.

Hissrich attributed part of this delay to the writers’ strike that affected the production of the fourth season, thus also compromising the schedule for the next installment.

Hopefully the fifth season doesn’t take another three years to arrive

In a recent interview with Variety, Hissrich expressed her optimism, stating that “fingers crossed” are in play to deliver the fifth season more promptly.

This fifth installment, which has been confirmed as the last of the series, has already completed its filming and Hissrich is currently in the post-production phase, where she is working extensively to prepare the season for its release.

Meanwhile, fans of The Witcher can enjoy The Rats: A Witcher Tale, a movie that serves as a prequel to the fourth season, providing additional content that expands the universe of the series.

This movie follows the characters that appear in the series, including Ciri, played by Freya Allan, and connects some of the narrative points that have been developed during the previous seasons.

Finally, although Hissrich has not confirmed specific details about the plot of the fifth season, it has been suggested that there could be a high number of character deaths, something that has already been a recurring feature in the narrative twists of the series.

In fact, with the series’ history in handling its characters, fans should be prepared for the possibility of unexpected goodbyes in the final season.

This week one of the best Sci-Fi movies of 2025 is being released

After 38 years of history and several installments that have traversed different formats, the ‘Predator’ saga returns to the big screen with ‘Predator: Badlands’. The film, which premieres on November 7, presents a narrative that moves away from the latest adventures available on streaming, betting big on a triumphant return to theaters. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, known for directing ‘Predator: Prey’, the new installment features a marginalized member of the alien hunter race, who seeks to prove their worth by facing the ultimate adversary.

After 38 years of history and several installments that have explored different formats, the ‘Predator’ saga returns to the big screen with ‘Predator: Badlands’.

The movie, which premieres on November 7, features a narrative that moves away from the latest adventures available for streaming, betting big on a triumphant return to theaters.

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, known for directing ‘Predator: Prey’, the new installment features a marginalized member of the alien hunter race, who seeks to prove their worth by facing the ultimate adversary. Alongside them, they will encounter an android, played by Elle Fanning.

100 million dollars budget: a lot to raise

With an estimated budget of 100 million dollars, Predator: Badlands becomes the most expensive film in the franchise, surpassing the 88 million of its 2018 predecessor, which turned out to be a commercial disappointment.

The pressure on this new release is considerable, as it needs to not only attract the audience but also recover the investment made. The day of its premiere in theaters will coincide with the release of ‘Bugonia’, a film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, although both productions are aimed at different audiences, which could benefit ‘Predator: Badlands’ at the box office.

Despite the anticipation, there are no reviews available at the moment, as the embargo will be lifted on Tuesday at 6:00 PM. This will leave little time for the specialized press to provide their analysis before the premiere.

The fan community is eager to find out if this new venture can revitalize the saga and provide an exciting experience while maintaining the essence that has characterized the iconic extraterrestrial hunter since its initial debut in 1987.
