David Harbour is a badass Santa Claus who interrupts a hostage situation while delivering presents to a wealthy family’s compound and battles the mercenaries to free the family in December’s Christmas action movie, Violent Night.

Back on the job after an extended break, mercenary/assassin Ladybug takes a simple job retrieving a briefcase from a Japanese bullet train but finds the train full of fellow assassins with their own, conflicting, agendas.

As Summer 2022 winds down, it was another incredibly slow weekend at the box office thanks to a dearth of truly massive blockbusters, which let The Invitation take the top spot.

Love, Death, and Robots is back for another season, Sonic 3 gets a release date, Emily Blunt joins Ryan Gosling in the remake of The Fall Guy, The Russo Brothers add a ton of new cast members to their new Netflix movie, Prey is the biggest premiere in Hulu history and more in this week’s News Shotgun.

After helping kick off the John Wick franchise, director David Leitch has been keeping busy with movies like Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2, and Hobbs & Shaw.  He brings the snarky tone of Deadpool and the action style of John Wick to the fun and ridiculous Bullet Train.

Bullet Train took the top spot at the box office as arguably the last major blockbuster of Summer 2022 while DC League of Super Pets dropped to second and Top Gun: Maverick has now surpassed Titanic on the all-time domestic box office charts.

August kicks off with Bullet Train in theaters along with the latest from A24, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies plus most of the major streamers have an original movie, including Prey on Hulu, Luck on Apple TV+, Carter on Netflix and more.

Brad Pitt takes what is supposed to be an easy gig for his bad luck plagued assassin but it turns into a free for all when a slew of colorful assassins are on board the same Bullet Train and after the metal briefcase Pitt’s Ladybug was instructed to pick up.
