On December 27th, Carrie Fisher passed away after suffering a major heart attack on a flight from London to Los Angeles. One day later, her mother, Debbie Reynolds -- who rose to stardom in Singin' in the Rain and quickly became a staple among Hollywood – passed away as a result of a stroke. We here at Collider Video offer up our deepest condolences to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds’ family, friends and fans. In an extensive interview with Ben Affleck by The Guardian, the Oscar winner spoke about his career and his latest gangster era drama Live By Night when the conversation naturally turned to his next project, the standalone Batman movie which he is slated to direct. At least that’s if all goes according to plan. It’s Monday which means it’s time for the weekend box office report brought to you AMC theatres. Rogue One took the No 1 spot for a third straight weekend at the box office, pulling in an estimated $50 million over three days and a projected $64 million for the four-day holiday. The first Star Wars Story has now made $425 million at the domestic box office, making it the second-highest grossing domestic release of 2016 behind Finding Dory. Sing took the No 2 spot for a second weekend in a row, pulling in $41.4 million and $53.7 over the four day. At No 3 was Passengers, which took in $16.1 million over the three-day weekend and $20.7 million over the four day. Moana took the No 4 spot with $10.15 million over three days and $13.5 million over the four-day weekend for a domestic total of $212 million. And in the No 5 spot was Denzel Washington’s Fences. After going wide last weekend, the Oscar hopeful took in $10.1 million over the three day weekend and an estimated $13 million over four days. BUY OR SELL Last week a report from the Wrap claimed Ryan Reynolds had filmed a cameo role as Deadpool in Logan that was allegedly shot by Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. Soon after, Hugh Jackman, director James Mangold and Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, took to Twitter to debunk the claim, with Mangold even going so far as to call out The Wrap with the hashtag #FakeNews. Later, however, THR’s film reporter Borys Kit tweeted that his sources said Deadpool is definitely not in the movie but not to rule out something else involving “Deadpool & Wolvie” in the future. The Wrap has since updated the report with Mangold’s responses. On Christmas day, 20th Century Fox unveiled the first red-band trailer for director Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant. Covenant finds Michael Fassbender reprising his role as the android David, who is now the sole inhabitant of an “uncharted paradise” which is visited by the crew of the colony ship Covenant. The film stars Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, and Danny McBride and opens in theaters on May 19th, 2017.
