Geekiary News Briefs! Attack on Titan Trailer, Captain Underpants, Alien: Covenant, and More!
Welcome to today’s Geekiary Briefs! We’ll be sharing trailers for Attack on Titan Season 2 and Alien: Covenant, news about Rogue One, and more!
Shazam is still a couple of years away, but that hasn’t stopped Dwayne Johnson and Henry Cavill from giving fans a treat this week. Both actors shared a picture that ensures fans that the wait isn’t in vain. Shazam is targeting a 2019 release and is set in Warner Bros’ current DC Cinematic Universe.
New releases couldn’t knock Rogue One down from the box office. The first Star Wars stand-alone film has been able to collect $523.8 million worldwide. The domestic numbers stand at $286.4 million. New releases Assassin’s Creed and Passengers didn’t fare well and collected $22.5 million and $30.4 million respectively. I’m surprised that Passengers was even able to make this much considering the kind of plot it has. (via CBR)
