Between Mummy and Mother and Movie News, it's a marvelous Friday at Breakfast All Day. Here's what we've got for you:
LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY. A little girl disappears from her family in Cairo, only to return eight years later as ... well, she's no longer their little girl. The central mystery in writer-director Lee Cronin's reimagining of the Mummy mythology is what happened to her and how to unravel it. This movie is super gross. It's also way too long. In theaters.
MOTHER MARY. Anne Hathaway is a Lady Gaga-style pop diva with hopes of reinventing herself. The one person she can turn to for help is her longtime costume designer and collaborator (Michaela Coel), with whom she had a falling out years ago. The latest from writer-director David Lowery takes some wild swings and will be hugely divisive. In limited release this weekend, opening wide April 24.
MOVIE NEWS LIVE! It's been a month since we've done a news livestream, so we had so much to catch up on, including announcements out of CinemaCon, the latest in the Paramount/WB merger, Eurovision, the Billie Eilish concert movie and more. Come back next Friday at Noon Pacific and we'll do it again.
Thanks for being here! Have a great weekend.
