Kokohu has been officially shortlisted in two categories at the 98th Academy Awards: Best International Feature and Best Makeup and Hairstyling for artists Kyoko Toyokawa, Naomi Hibino, and Tadashi Nishimatsu.

Spanning decades, the film tells a sweeping story of ambition, glory, and heartbreak.

About Charlie Puth
GRAMMY-nominated and multi-platinum singer/songwriter/producer Charlie Puth has proven to be one of the industry’s most consistent hitmakers and sought-after collaborators across multiple genres. To date he has amassed over 35 billion career streams, nine multi-platinum singles (including “Attention,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” “See You Again” & more), four GRAMMY nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, a Critic’s Choice Award, and a Golden Globe nomination. Puth is currently working on his highly anticipated fourth studio album, the follow-up to 2022’s CHARLIE which featured platinum-certified hit single “Light Switch” and “Left and Right” featuring Jung Kook of BTS. Meanwhile, his 2021 co-penned/produced single “Stay” for The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber reigned #1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart for eleven weeks, and his collaboration with Gabby Barrett on their “I Hope (Remix)” earned him his fourth top 10 charting track on the Billboard Hot 100.

Hot off the record-setting resurrection of EVIL DEAD RISE, writer/director Lee Cronin turns to one of the most iconic horror stories of all time with an audacious and twisted retelling: LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY.

The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.

The film stars Jack Reynor, Laia Costa, May Calamawy, Natalie Grace, with Veronica Falcón. The film is written and directed by Cronin, and produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and John Keville. The executive producers are Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher and Lee Cronin.

Cronin is supported behind the camera by a team of sterling film artisans, including director of photography Dave Garbett, production designer Nick Bassett, editor Bryan Shaw, costume designer Joanna Eatwell, music by Stephen McKeon and casting by Terri Taylor and Sarah Domeier Lindo.

New Line Cinema, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse Present, A Wicked/Good Production, A Lee Cronin Film: LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theatres and IMAX® in North America on April 17, 2026, and internationally beginning 15 April 2026.

Paramount+ announced today that the legendary JERSEY SHORE original cast member Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi will bring her small stature and big personality to the Shore house, making several powerhouse guest appearances during the first season of CANADA SHORE, premiering January 22, 2026 on Paramount+ in all markets globally. Bringing her signature sparkle to the CANADA SHORE crib, she parties, hands out job duties and shares her ‘Shore’ expertise with the new cast across several episodes.

Paramount+ also announced today the release of the can’t miss “This Season On” CANADA SHORE Trailer HERE:

“I cannot wait for you guys to see me drop in on ten crazy Canadians as they party their way through the summer!” – Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi

And when Snooki is not around, Kelowna’s own Dane Rupert (aka the Prince of Kelowna) will serve as Snooki’s eyes and ears on the ground, putting the roomies to work and keeping the chaos in check (or not!).

Just like the original JERSEY SHORE series, CANADA SHORE brings together 10 larger-than-life roommates from coast to coast to coast onto the sun-soaked shores of Kelowna, B.C. They’re ready to party, flirt, and turn every night into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. But between all the hookups and hangovers, this wild crew becomes a family that laughs together, fights together, and supports each other.

Chosen from a nationwide casting call last spring and fresh off being introduced to Canada after filming this past summer in Kelowna, B.C. – this crew is ready for their debut.

AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH remains atop the Box Office again this weekend with $24 million from 3,700 theatres for 20th Century Studios. Domestically, this takes it to $345.2 million over four weekends.

THE HOUSEMAID still continues to go strong in second with $14 million from 3,123 theatres for Cineplex Pictures/Lionsgate, a total $94.6 million grossed over four weekends.

PRIMATE debuts in third with $10.5 million from 2,964 theatres for Paramount Pictures, getting 77% on the Tomatometer.

GREENLAND 2: MIGRATION debuts in fourth with $10 million, getting 55% on the Tomatometer. Its 2020 predecessor was impacted by the Pandemic in its release pattern, so this is a bit of justice for it.

ZOOTOPIA 2 rounds things out taking $9.7 million for Disney, a tally of $378.7 million grossed in North America over seven weekends.
