10 Greatest Sitcoms You Can Binge in One Week, Ranked
There’s no better way to end the day than with a sitcom. With their addictive storylines, inside jokes, and loveable characters, watching just one episode is never enough. Sitcoms have built a reputation for their infectious energy, and for good reason — audiences often find themselves hooked after only a few episodes.
Whether it’s a quick weekend binge or a more intense week-long marathon, sitcoms come in all shapes and season lengths. Some are easy to finish, while others demand a little more time and commitment. Without further ado, here are the greatest sitcoms you can binge in one week, ranked.

‘We Are Lady Parts’ (2021–2024)
As Hannah Montana once said, “You get the best of both worlds.” We Are Lady Parts takes that quote literally. By day, Amina (Anjana Vasan) is a shy microbiology PhD student. By night, she’s the newly recruited lead guitarist for a band called Lady Parts. Apart from finding her husband, playing guitar with a group is a dream come true.
The twist is that women like Amina aren’t the type society expects to be shredding to punk rock. As a hijab-wearing, practicing Muslim, music isn’t seen as a conventional passion. The same goes for the rest of the Lady Parts, who are all practicing Muslims as well. Breaking stereos and stereotypes, We Are Lady Parts is all about tearing the house down.

‘Kim’s Convenience’ (2016–2021)
The heart of downtown Toronto lies in its humble corner stores. Kim’s Convenience is a modern take on familiar immigrant stories. First-generation immigrant parents, Appa (Paul Sun-Hyung Lee) and Umma (Jean Yoon), make a living running their convenience store in Regent Park, Toronto. They’re neither particularly street- nor tech-savvy, but their kindness welcomes customers from all walks of life.
Kim’s Convenience shows how “mundane” everyday life can still be fun and interesting. The best part is that their experiences aren’t far from reality. It’s common for immigrant families to encounter cultural gaps or language barriers, but Kim’s Convenience is a clever modern sitcom that proves how, with the power of community and comedy, they become experiences worth laughing about.

‘How I Met Your Mother’ (2005–2014)
How I Met Your Mother is the apple that fell from the tree called Friends. Five New York-ian friends from all walks of life get through the peaks and troughs of their late twenties. But when those friends are the super-rich Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris), commitment-phobe Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), longtime couple Marshall Erikson (Jason Segel) and Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), and dreamer Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor), there’s never a dull day in the city.
The secret sauce of How I Met Your Mother is in the main cast’s chemistry. It’s not easy to build an ensemble, let alone one that can sustain nine full seasons. These five characters are the epitome of messy adulthood. Whether it’s changing careers or moving out of apartments, there’s no definitive answer to the right way of maturing. It’s no surprise that binge-watching the show makes us feel like we’re growing up alongside them.
7
‘Ted Lasso’ (2020–Present)
A beloved feel-good sitcom, Ted Lasso follows Coach Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) and his partner, Coach Beard (Brendan Hunt), as they jetset from Kansas to London for the gig of a lifetime. Assigned to the soccer team, A.F.C. Richmond, these two must whip the team into Premier League shape.
While Ted Lasso stars out as a typical laugh-out-loud and binge-worthy sitcom, it soon evolves into a surprisingly emotional exploration of the talented ensemble’s characters. Viewers shouldn’t be surprised when they’re roped into one genuinely gripping arc after another, with each revealing why appearances are just that, and there’s often something deeper under the surface.
6
‘Schitt’s Creek’ (2015–2020)
Audiences love a wholesome rags-to-riches story, but they laugh more from a riches-to-rags sitcom. Schitt’s Creek follows the swift downfall of the Rose family, led by video store mogul Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy). When the family’s accountant is accused of tax embezzlement, the Roses have nothing left to their name — except for a middle-of-nowhere town called Schitt’s Creek.
The out-of-touch Roses are initially a hard family to love, and that’s what makes Schitt’s Creek feel natural. They are the worst, most useless neighbors anyone could ask for. However, their desire to reclaim their riches, unironically, forces them to become better people. The Roses work hard not just to win the hearts of the small town, but also the audience tuning in.
5
‘Derry Girls’ (2018–2022)
Not even the IRA can control these wild, young, and free teens of Northern Ireland. Set in the 1990s, Derry Girls follows a group of four Irish teenage girls (and one English dude) trying to live a normal life amidst the political chaos of the time. But even with army checkpoints and bomb threats, these teens just want to make the most of the best years of their lives.
Derry Girls shows that coming-of-age desires are universal, even when the circumstances in your country feel grave and overwhelming. If anything, these tense situations add richer nuance to how these teens grow up. As much as they want to be cool and catch the attention of a school crush, they also realize that politics is a conversation that isn’t far removed from their everyday gossip.
4
‘Shrinking’ (2023–Present)
Psychologist Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) is good at breaking the rules — all in the name of science. Shrinking starts on a morbid note in the aftermath of Jimmy’s wife’s passing. A year has gone by, and Jimmy is just grinding through his days. But when his patients keep returning with the same unresolved issues, Jimmy decides he’s had enough.
Instead of providing them the same old consolations, Jimmy gives them the tough love they need — which, surprisingly, works. It’s hilarious to watch Jimmy provide hilariously unorthodox solutions, much to his colleagues’ disapproval. Despite Jimmy’s shenanigans, Shrinking is a beacon of hope viewers need whenever the times get tough.
3
‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ (2013–2021)
Back off, feds — Brooklyn Nine-Nine can handle cases on its own. The popular police procedural sitcom takes its job seriously, but every workplace has that one class, or precinct, clown. Case in point: Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg). On the field, he’s smart and sharp. But to his colleagues, he’s the ultimate dork who hasn’t cleaned his desk for years.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine keeps the adrenaline going with cases ranging from petty theft to bloody murder, all of which are just as engaging as they are thought-provoking. But the show also knows how to keep the humor alive, thanks to its eccentric force, running gags, and character development that evolves over the seasons.
2
‘Kath & Kim’ (2002–2007)
From King of the Hill to Gilmore Girls, the American suburban life is ideal for most people looking to get away from the city. But somewhere in Australia, Kath & Kim hilariously show that suburban life is anything but ordinary. Mother Kath Day-Knight (Jane Turner) and her only child, Kim Diane Craig (Gina Riley), may live in the suburbs, but they harbor dreams of affluence.
But for two women whose idea of culture revolves around retro lingerie and Australian Idol, Kath and Kim are far from high class. It’s comical to watch them rock their gaudy fashion and believe they’re fly as heck. It’s not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that these two are so confident in their own bad taste that they ironically become amazingly inspiring to watch.
1
‘Abbott Elementary’ (2021–Present)
These teachers know a thing or two about the public education system. Set in West Philly, Abbott Elementary follows the eccentric staff of Abbott as they deal with everything school-related. From rowdy kids during nap time to budget cuts, no issue is too big for the beady-eyed middle school teacher Janine Teagues (Quinta Brunson) and her motley crew of teachers.
Audiences were all students at one point, but not all of us grew up to become teachers. Abbott Elementary shows the hard work teachers put into their classes just so their kids can get the education they deserve. The staff might not be perfect — sometimes they’re just as clueless as their students. But in true school spirit, learning never stops, no matter how old you are.

With six seasons, two movies and a third on the way, Downton Abbey might be one of the most successful period dramas of all time — and with good reason. The story of the Crawleys, a wealthy family who runs an estate in the English countryside, is full of upstairs-downstairs drama, romance, scandal and history. It begins in 1912, and the story continues all the way through 1926.
At the heart of this PBS series is the romance between Lady Mary Crawley (Michelle Dockery), the eldest daughter of the family, and distant relative Matthew Crawley, (Dan Stevens), who becomes the heir to the estate (which is not allowed to pass to a woman) when the previous heir dies aboard the Titanic. Mary’s two younger sisters, Edith (Laura Carmichael) and Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay), are also seeking marriages and daring to dream bigger as rights for women begin to expand.
The staff of Downton also experiences its fair share of romantic drama, especially between valet Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) and lady’s maid Anna (Joanne Froggatt). Perhaps the most memorable character of all is Lady Violet, the snarky and sharp Dowager Countess, played by the late, great Maggie Smith. Downton earned 69 Primetime Emmy nominations during its run — the most of any international series.

There’s a reason some celebrities always look extra radiant on the red carpet — it’s not just makeup, it’s what they use underneath it. And when someone with consistently glowing, camera-ready skin shares a go-to, it’s worth paying attention. That’s exactly the case with Kelly Ripa, who relies on a $19 drugstore serum to keep her complexion looking smooth and youthful.
The secret behind her glow? The L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Face Serum. In fact, a source told Us that Ripa even used it to get her skin camera-ready ahead of the Academy Awards. The formula helps create a silky, even canvas for makeup while delivering long-term anti-aging results. And the best part? It’s on sale for 15% off, so you can score the same prep step for less.

The formula’s effectiveness comes down to its standout ingredients. Powered by hyaluronic acid, the serum works to draw moisture into the skin for a plumper, more hydrated look — a key for softening the appearance of fine lines before makeup goes on. It also includes vitamin C to brighten and even tone, plus a tri-peptide complex that helps to improve elasticity and smooth the look of wrinkles for that firm, lifted look.
Beyond the instant glow, the L’Oréal serum is designed to deliver long-term results. With consistent use, it’s said to reduce the look of age lines, improve firmness and refine overall texture, so skin looks smoother, even when you go makeup-free. The lightweight, milky formula absorbs quickly without any greasy residue, making it easy to layer into your routine — whether you’re getting ready for a big event or just everyday wear.
Ripa isn’t the only one reaching for this serum — shoppers are seeing real results, too. It has over 800 five-star ratings from shoppers including one reviewer who said their fine lines are “disappearing” with “noticeable plumping” and “instant firming” after use. Another shopper even noted a “definite improvement” in their wrinkles within “about a week.” They even wrote, “Yes, you can tell the difference that soon.”
If you’ve ever wondered how Ripa gets that smooth, radiant red carpet finish, this now-$19 serum plays a key role. Now on sale, it’s an easy, budget-friendly way to upgrade your routine. Consider this your chance to get her glow for less — no glam squad required.

Paradise has inspired some surprising theories about time travel — and Alex’s identity — ahead of the season 2 finale.
The hit Hulu series, which premiered in January 2025, initially appeared to be set in a serene and wealthy community forced to face the realities of a shocking murder. But creator Dan Fogelman‘s political thriller featured a twist when Paradise was revealed to be an underground bunker housing the world’s most prominent individuals after an apocalyptic event destroyed the rest of humanity.
The cast previously spoke to Us Weekly exclusively about how they kept the show a secret before its premiere.
“The biggest lengths [we had to go through to keep the twist secret] are happening now when we’re actually talking to people about it,” Julianne Nicholson shared at the time. “When we were on set, everybody knows what’s up, so we don’t have to be that secretive.”
Paradise has introduced several unanswered questions, but Alex’s identity might be the most mysterious of them all. Season 2, which premiered in February, mentioned Alex as an enemy Link (Thomas Doherty) was determined to kill after finally finding the bunker. The name was mentioned again when Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson) got out of the hospital and […]
She continued: “But now the trick is how do you grab people’s attention and assure them that this is something different without giving away any of the details? But we’re very excited for people to get on the ride with us.”
Sterling K. Brown, meanwhile, recently reflected on holding onto so much information about the show.
“I like knowing [what will happen on my projects]. But I feel like it’s a question you only ask in TV. Because if you’re doing a film or play, you know the beginning, the middle and the end,” he told Us in February. “The idea that you don’t have to know or have it spoiled for you … it is also like I get a chance to help craft the arc of where it ultimately goes to. So I don’t mind knowing.”
Keep scrolling for a guide to the biggest fan theories about the Paradise season 2 finale:
Time Travel
The largest concept making the rounds is Paradise finding a way to introduce time travel into the mix. The biggest clue was Link seemingly having a connection to Sinatra’s son, which has made some wonder if they are one person. More importantly, the concept of time travel came up with either Link or Sinatra knowingly getting him involved.
Hulu’s hit series Paradise is returning after shocking cliffhangers and onscreen deaths — but which stars are and aren’t reprising their roles? This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman‘s political thriller originally premiered in January 2025 under a shroud of mystery. Paradise was teased as a show “set in a serene, wealthy community inhabited by some […]
Who Is Alex?
From a real person to an idea to a computer, there are endless ideas about who Alex could be. The best bet is probably something inanimate but only time — and the finale — will tell who exactly Sinatra has been relying on so closely.
Freezing Time
Speaking of a close connection, there are questions about whether Alex allowed Sinatra to freeze or slow down time. This would explain some of the behavior in the bunker, which would open up more possibilities for season 3.
Kim Novak has spoken out against Sydney Sweeney‘s casting in “Scandalous,” a biopic about her past romance with Sammy Davis Jr.
Calling the choice “totally wrong,” she questioned both the portrayal and the film’s focus, expressing concern that it may overemphasize the physical aspects of their relationship because of how “sexy” Sweeney is.
The film, which will be directed by Colman Domingo, is currently in development, with Sydney Sweeney starring as Novak and David Jonsson set to play Davis Jr.
Kim Novak Criticizes Sydney Sweeney’s Role In ‘Scandalous’ Biopic
Kim Novak has strongly criticized Sydney Sweeney’s casting in the upcoming biopic “Scandalous.”
In an interview with The Times of London, the 93-year-old screen legend made it clear she does not support the casting choice, calling Sweeney “totally wrong” for the role and stating she would never have approved it.
Novak also appeared to critique Sweeney’s physical image, suggesting it does not align with how she saw herself during her Hollywood years, adding that the “Euphoria” star “sticks out so much above the waist.”
Beyond casting concerns, Novak expressed concern about how the story might be portrayed on screen.
She fears the film could lean too heavily into the physical aspects of her relationship with Davis Jr., rather than focusing on the deeper connection they shared.
According to Novak, “There’s no way it wouldn’t be a sexual relationship because Sydney Sweeney looks sexy all the time. She was totally wrong to play me.”
Kim Novak Reflects On Racism That Ended Romance With Sammy Davis Jr.
“Scandalous,” first reported to be in development in October 2024, is set to mark the directorial debut of Colman Domingo, with Sweeney cast as Novak and David Jonsson portraying Davis Jr.
The film aims to chronicle their relationship, which unfolded at a time when interracial romance in Hollywood was met with intense prejudice and public backlash.
Reflecting on that period, Novak described the hostility Davis Jr. faced because of his race, recalling disturbing incidents and the discrimination that ultimately forced them apart.
“Because of the color of his skin, people did terrible things,” Novak shared, recalling an example of people giving him beer with urine in it.
When studio executives discovered the relationship in 1957, they intervened out of fear that it would damage the studio’s reputation.
According to Novak and other reports, Columbia Pictures head Harry Cohn allegedly pressured Davis Jr. to end the relationship, even threatening mob violence if he did not comply.
Kim Novak Says Marriage Was Never The Plan In Romance With Sammy Davis Jr.
Novak also pushed back against long-standing rumors that marriage had been on the table, clarifying that while she cared deeply for Davis Jr., she had no intention of marrying anybody at the time.
Her reservations about the film are not new. In a previous interview with The Guardian, Novak criticized the project’s title, arguing that their relationship should not be framed as “scandalous.”
“He’s somebody I really cared about,” she said. “We had so much in common, including that we need to be accepted for who we are and what we do, rather than how we look.”
“But I’m concerned they’re going to make it all sexual reasons,” Novak added.
Sydney Sweeney Is ‘Honored’ To Step Into Kim Novak’s Shoes
Despite Novak’s strong objections to her casting, Sweeney has fully embraced the role.
She previously shared that she felt “incredibly honored” to portray the actress and that Novak’s experiences navigating fame, public scrutiny, and control over her image still resonate today.
Sweeney added that she personally “relates” to Novak’s experience “in a lot of different ways.”
Last year, Sweeney also opened up about how Domingo became attached to “Scandalous” during an appearance on The Hollywood Reporter‘s “Awards Chatter” podcast with Scott Feinberg.
As both the film’s lead and a producer, she explained that while several directors were initially considered, she ultimately believed the story required a distinct point of view. In her view, Domingo was the only person capable of telling it with the depth and care it deserved.
Sydney Sweeney Says Colman Domingo Has Been In Contact With Kim Novak
The “Anyone but You” star shared that she reached out to Domingo directly and was like, “Hey, I don’t know if you even want to direct, but there’s a script that I’d really love to send you. And if you like it, it’s yours. If not, I won’t be offended.”
Domingo responded almost immediately, telling her it aligned perfectly with the kind of project he had been hoping to find.
Since then, the two have been working together to develop the film and secure financing, a process Sweeney described as a true “labor of love.”
When asked whether she had personally met Novak, Sweeney didn’t give a clear answer, but noted that Domingo has built a strong connection with the Hollywood icon.
According to her, the two have been in contact, a relationship she helped facilitate as the project continues to take shape.

This 12-Part 10/10 Police Procedural on Hulu Is So Good, You Can Start With Any Episode
Nowadays, with the popularity of streaming services, starting a 12-season show is an intimidating thought. But cop procedurals that began as network programming are designed to be engaging wherever you begin your journey, thanks to the charm of their episodic forays into death and mystery. When it comes to twisty crime episodes that pull you in immediately, no one does it quite like Bones. Among the 2000s juggernauts like NCIS or Criminal Minds, Bones resides somewhere at the overlooked intersection with its quirky, yet morbid premise of investigating the literal bones of a victim to solve a case. Though it had its heyday, it is not nearly as appreciated as it should be, especially with the beating heart that lies at the center of its skeleton.
‘Bones’ Balances Humor With Its Grisly Criminal Investigations
If NCIS was a tad too light-hearted for you, and you found Criminal Minds to be relentlessly dark, then Bones will hit your sweet spot. At the forefront of this series is forensic pathologist Dr. Brennan (Emily Deschanel), who is fondly dubbed Dr. Bones by her charming FBI agent partner Agent Booth (David Boreanaz). Dr. Bones has the uncanny ability to spot every tiny detail from a bone and extract a story from it, morbid but hopeful in the sense that once our flesh and blood are stripped away, our bare bones are still capable of holding our truths. There’s certainly a darkness attached to the study of skeletons, where the visuals of decomposed bodies and forgotten skeletal structures are just as unnerving as your usual chalk-outlined, brains-on-the-wall crime drama.
While Bones certainly doesn’t veer away from sobering topics like mental health, domestic abuse, or addiction, treating each as carefully as Dr. Bones does her patients, the show is no stranger to wacky crimes. From cannibals, the circus, human puppets, to the chocolate factory, there are diverse cases with an absurdity that contrasts some of the heavier themes, leading to a viewing experience that hits both those light and dark notes. It’s one of those shows that are perfectly suited to cable TV — whichever episode you happen to meander into guarantees enough laughs and shocks to tempt you into returning. Naturally, there are overarching stories where we watch characters break down and evolve, but the central case-of-week mayhem is enough to convince you to commit, no matter when you start.
Dr. Bones and Agent Booth Will Make You Fall in Love Just as They Do
You can’t mention Bones without talking about the will-they-won’t-they romance between Dr. Bones and Agent Booth, one of the most iconic romances in 2000s TV. Usually, only teasing a relationship leads to frustration in the audience, but because Bones‘ primary focus is on the cases themselves, the sustained romantic tension between the two central characters is a fun bonus. Their interactions are the heart of the show, where Dr. Bones’ preference for skeletons over living beings, of logic over messy human emotions, clashes comically with Booth’s more intuitive approach to crime-solving and life in general. They find common ground in the most unexpected of places, even if Booth is constantly sighing at Dr. Bones’ lack of pop culture knowledge.
Around them is a cast that side-eyes their adorable bickering and brings their own light to the skeleton-focused show. From the sassy forensic artist Angela (Michaela Conlin), to the conspiracy-minded bug guy Jack (T.J. Thyne), they each contribute emotional texture to the group they call the “Squints,” scientists who assist with FBI cases. Like the rest of the show, they strike a balance between tragic backstories and situational humor, never allowing a second of boredom. Bones may be more of a science-based approach to solving cases than the typical crime procedurals, but it’s one that still carries the same emotional depth — much to Dr. Bones’ chagrin.
If you’ve caught up with all your usual crime dramas, then you need to watch this beautifully balanced show that takes criminal investigations to their bare bones. The lab will soon become your second home, and these eccentric, scientifically brilliant characters are easy to root for, especially as the cases go off the rails. Between the grisly scenes of autopsies and the tantalizing tension between Dr. Bones and Booth, Bones has everything you could ask for in a crime procedural.
CTV’s Sullivan’s Crossing has returned for season 4 after a shocking cast exit — and a secret husband plot twist — but how can fans watch the show on The CW and Netflix?
Based on a book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) as she returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. Throughout the seasons, viewers have been introduced to her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), newcomer Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and more members of the community.
Sullivan’s Crossing was renewed for a fourth season, which premiered March 22, 2026, on CTV. After airing in Canada, the hit show will follow up with April 20, 2026, on The CW and then on Netflix presumably in the summer once the show wraps up on cable.
Before its premiere, Us Weekly broke the news in March that Patterson would not be reprising his role when season 4 returns.
![Sullivan s Crossing s Scott Patterson Discusses [Redacted] s Fate After Shooting I Cried So Much 487](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Sullivan-s-Crossing-s-Scott-Patterson-Discusses-Redacted-s-Fate-After-Shooting-I-Cried-So-Much-487-1.jpg?crop=109px%2C21px%2C993px%2C561px&resize=400%2C225&quality=86&strip=all)
Sullivan’s Crossing is going through a very big change with Scott Patterson‘s character Sully being written off — but what does the shocking exit mean for the show? Based on the book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing centers around neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) after she moves back home to rural Nova Scotia to reconnect […]
“Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, beginning a new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the next day, with Sully still overseas,” Sullivan’s Crossing executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth exclusively told Us. “While he isn’t physically present in this season, the character remains an important part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the ongoing creative.”
In response, Patterson hinted at what caused his surprising departure, writing via Instagram, “The creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could agree to continue.”
Patterson clarified it wasn’t his choice to leave Sullivan’s Crossing.
“It’s unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite, and those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise,” he continued. “I was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life.”
“Every actor knows what it’s like to fall in love with a character and a story. I fell in love with Sully and have nothing but fondness for him,” he shared. “I really enjoyed Sully and fought for his voice and his character. The richness and depth of Sully, whom the fans of the books all know and love, is so multi-layered and interesting.”
The statement concluded: “The fans deserved better than to think the embodiment of this character, me, would just disrespect not only the show, but them. In the end, we’re all fans of these characters and stories, and I’ll always support and defend the truth.”
Coincidentally, a trio of time-travel movies is jostling for attention on home video simultaneously. The best-reviewed of the lot is also the least high-profile: Redux Redux. Directed by brothers Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus, the movie stars their sister Michaela McManus as a woman who goes on an interdimensional mission to avenge her daughter’s death. Redux Redux had a limited release in February, but is now among the most-watched movies on the domestic iTunes rankings thanks to its near-perfect 97% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. More recently, writer-director BenDavid Grabinski‘s Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice debuted at the number one spot on the domestic Hulu rankings.
Starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden, and Eiza González, the movie currently holds a 78% score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, the first time-travel movie of 2026 hailed from the most popular filmmaker of the bunch: Gore Verbinski. In fact, it was Verbinski’s first feature film in a decade. He was sentenced to director jail following the back-to-back box-office failure of his big-budget The Lone Ranger reboot and the mid-budget psychological horror film A Cure for Wellness. The underperformance of his latest film isn’t the greatest outcome, especially since he desperately needed a win. But, true to form, Verbinski didn’t play it safe, even though his current status in the industry made a win especially important.

Gore Verbinski Needs a Box-Office Win Desperately
The movie in question is Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. It stars Sam Rockwell as a time-traveler who shows up in a Los Angeles diner and informs the patrons that they must help him fight a war against artificial intelligence in the future. The movie also features Michael Peña, Haley Lu Richardson, and Juno Temple. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die opened to excellent reviews in February, only a week before Redux Redux. However, it grossed only $9 million worldwide against a reported budget of $20 million. In his review, Collider’s Aidan Kelley described the movie as “a raucous sci-fi comedy with extremely ambitious goals and insightful commentary on the current state of the world and how it can evolve (or devolve) into something unrecognizable.” According to FlixPatrol, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die‘s redemption arc is continuing despite the competition. It’s currently among the most-watched movies on iTunes and the Google Play Store. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

New Sci-Fi Masterpiece Destroys M. Night Shyamalan’s Rare Genre Experiment at the Box Office
Ryan Gosling‘s latest film, Project Hail Mary, has now overtaken the lifetime worldwide box office haul of his 2017 sci-fi classic, Blade Runner 2049. It has also more than doubled the worldwide gross of his critically acclaimed biopic First Man, and is on track to overtake La La Land to become his highest-grossing hit. Gosling has been trying to pivot from arthouse cinema to more mainstream fare in recent years; he has the biggest movie of his career, Star Wars: Starfighter, lined up for release in 2027. However, Project Hail Mary is exactly what he needed to build toward his Star Wars feature. The critically acclaimed sci-fi sensation passed a couple of major box-office milestones in its second weekend, as it expanded its footprint globally.
The movie marks the directorial comeback of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who haven’t had a movie in theaters in over a decade. Based on the novel by Andy Weir, whose earlier bestseller served as the basis for Ridley Scott‘s The Martian, Project Hail Mary has a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes — higher than any movie in Gosling’s career. He has an uncommonly impressive track record; aside from films such as Blade Runner 2049, First Man, and La La Land, Gosling has also starred in Drive, The Nice Guys, The Big Short, and Barbie. Project Hail Mary is his most expensive vehicle yet, with a reported budget of $200 million. Unlike previous releases by Amazon Studios, the movie has done exceptionally well in the IMAX format.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Has Demolished the Worldwide Haul of M. Night Shyamalan’s Worst Film in Just 10 Days
This weekend, the film grossed nearly $55 million domestically to pass the $160 million mark in North America. It has also grossed over $100 million from overseas markets, for a running global cume of approximately $280 million. This puts Project Hail Mary on track to pass the $300 million mark by Monday. As things stand, the movie has overtaken the $244 million worldwide gross of M. Night Shyamalan‘s After Earth, starring Will Smith and Jaden Smith. The critically panned sci-fi adventure film was released in 2013, and was intended as something of a Hail Mary for Shyamalan’s struggling career. The experiment didn’t pay off, and he had to return to square one and claw his way back up.
