Paramount Pictures x Mr. Will want to give Readers across Canada a chance to win TRANSFORMERS: THE LAST KNIGHT Bundle in celebration of the Film’s home entertainment release! That’s right, you have a chance to win all five TRANSFORMERS Movies and also a Deceptacon and Autobot figurine! Cool!

Synopsis:
When all seems lost, a few brave souls can save everything we’ve ever known.

The Last Knight shatters the core myths of the Transformers franchise, and redefines what it means to be a hero.  Humans and Transformers are at war, Optimus Prime is gone.  The key to saving our future lies buried in the secrets of the past, in the hidden history of Transformers on Earth.  Saving our world falls upon the shoulders of an unlikely alliance: Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg); Bumblebee; an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins); and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock).

There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we are called upon to make a difference.  In Transformers: The Last Knight, the hunted will become heroes.  Heroes will become villains.  Only one world will survive: theirs, or ours.

After an explosive opening last weekend, STEPHEN KING’S IT repeats the feat in its second week out with $54 million from 4,148 theatres.  Over two weeks it has grossed a whopping $212.7 million for Warner Bros., a huge accomplishment for Toronto where the Film was made.

In second is long-awaited AMERICAN ASSASSIN with $15.2 million for Lionsgate Films/eOne Films, from 3,154 theatres across North America. It gets a 31% on the Tomatometer and a B+ CinemaScore.

After a TIFF ’17 debut last weekend, Darren Aronofsky‘s mother! opens in third with $8 million for Paramount Pictures from 2,368 theatres. Despite a 71% on the Tomatometer, it gets only a F CinemaScore from Audiences.

Rom-Com HOME AGAIN in its second week out earns $5.5 million for Open Road Films/eOne Films, good enough for fourth. In total it has made $17.3 million domestically.

DUNKIRK in its eighth week still is going strong, rounding-out the Top Ten with $1.4 million for Warner Bros. It has made $185 million in total in its domestic run.

Our last big sighting of TIFF this year is none other than the highly-recognizable Helena Bonham Carter, in town for 55 Steps. The Film by Bille August is about a mental patients rights lawyer (Hillary Swank) who in her battle for the cause, meets a patient (Bonham Carter) who changes her workaholic ways. Bonham Carter walked the Red Carpet in a floral dress, her signature kitsch with sunglasses, stopping for a section of fans, many who waited since early morning before walking to do interviews.

We are racing to the finish line of TIFF ’17 but still have some exciting stuff to show you! Premiering tonight at Roy Thomson Hall was THREE CHRISTS starring Richard Gere and Walton Goggins. While stars Peter Dinklage and Bradley Whitford too were confirmed to come originally, unfortunately they couldn’t make it to town – a common occurrence late in the Festival.

Gere was spotted with none other than his father Homer whom he helped out of their SUV upon arrival of their celebration at Weslodge.   While he wasn’t keen on photos with fans, Gere was giving with autographs. Goggins, whom you known from Quentin Tarantino‘s The Hateful Eight and Django Unchained, was a class act to fans.  We were surprised to see Jason Isaacs out celebrating with Gere. The star of upcoming Star Trek: Discovery is filming currently in Toronto.

Universal Pictures Canada x Mr. Will want to give Readers in Toronto a chance to see TIFF ’17 selection VICTORIA & ABDUL! The Screening takes place Monday, September 25, 2017 in Toronto.

Synopsis:
Academy Award winner Judi Dench (“Shakespeare in Love”) reunites with Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Frears (“The Queen”), and returns to the role of Queen Victoria, in “Victoria & Abdul.” The screenplay of “Victoria & Abdul” is by Academy Award nominee Lee Hall (“Billy Elliot”), based on journalist Shrabani Basu’s book Victoria & Abdul: The True Story of the Queen’s Closest Confidant., which brought to light the long-hidden history of Victoria and Abdul from their own diaries and journals. The extraordinary true story of the amazing and unlikely friendship between Queen Victoria (Judi Dench) and a young clerk, Abdul Karim (Ali Fazal), who becomes her teacher, her spiritual advisor, and her devoted friend. In 1887, Abdul travels from India to present a ceremonial medal as part of the Queen’s Golden Jubilee but surprisingly finds favor with the elderly Queen. The unprecedented and unlikely relationship causes a battle royale within the royal household, pitting the Queen against court and family. “Victoria & Abdul” humorously explores questions of race, religion, power, and the farce of Empire through the prism of a highly unusual and deeply moving friendship.

Cast: Judi Dench, Ali Fazal, Eddie Izzard, Adeel Akhtar, Tim Pigott-Smith, Olivia Williams, Fenella Woolgar, Paul Higgins, Robin Soans, Julian Wadham, Simon Callow and Michael Gambon.
