Michael B. Jordan

Rocky Balboa fans are ready to go the distance — by bus, by ice skates, by 72 steps — to honor Philly's favorite fictional fighter almost 50 years after the first movie launched the enduring series of an underdog boxer persevering despite the odds.

He's not just "McDreamy" anymore, Patrick Dempsey is now also People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star and race car driver takes the mantle from "Captain America" star Chris Evans, who was 2022's selection. The pick was revealed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Nov. 7.

A host-less, pre-taped and muted MTV Movie & TV Awards on May 7 became the first big awards show to air during the screenwriters' strike, offering a commercial-heavy broadcast featuring lots of past recycled live clips.

"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" topped the North American box office this weekend with an estimated $30.5 million opening, but that represented a sharp dropoff from the original blockbuster and analysts called the result disappointing.

Hollywood is gearing up for the 95th Academy Awards, where "Everything Everywhere All at Once" comes in the lead nominee.

The Oscars will be held on March 12, at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony is set to begin at 8 p.m. EST and be broadcast live on ABC.

MGM's boxing drama "Creed III" scored an opening-round knockout this weekend, taking in an estimated $58.7 million to top North America's box office in one of the biggest debuts ever for a sports film.

That made first-time director Michael B. Jordan, who again plays rock-hard boxer Apollo Creed, the "undefeated box office champion," said industry analyst Exhibitor Relations.
