ABC Trailer 'Scrubs' revival premiere's Feb. 25, 2026

Trailer 'Golden' coming soon.!

GOLDEN from an Independent Film Company (2026). It stars Brian Austin Green who starred in the 1990's TV show, "Beverly Hills 90210."

This is not a trend. Older TV stars plus film stars are getting work with independent producers. Some movies are released into theaters. Others are released into both theaters and streaming online. Many are going straight-to-digital where you can Buy or Rent.

"Golden" looks like it will go into select theaters and quickly stream online. Usually at "YouTube" which has a large audience.

TV fans will probably follow "Golden" because of Brian Austin Green. Remember Luke Perry went into Western movies? He's also an alumnus of "Beverly Hills 90210." His fans followed him. So, there is an audience out there.

I had posted the trailer for "Golden" yesterday but it was taken down on YouTube. Here it is below from "Trailer Feed."

Slasher 'Primate' grosses $39 Million at World-Wide Box Office

PRIMATE from PARAMOUNT pictures. The studio dumped this horror/slasher film on Jan. 9, 2026. Preview audiences gave this a 92% cinema-score. The studio used theater reactions as a promotional tool.

The production budget climbed to $21 million. It climbs with each box office report to $24 million. As of Feb. 8, 2026. It has grossed $39 million at the world-wide box office. It nabbed $25 million in North America.

The big surprise is the elimination of CGI effects. The family chimpanzee named "Ben" contracted rabies and went on a killing spree. A "little-person" actor was inside a monkey suit with good facial make-up. It was so real that it was.... Scary. 

I walked into an Albuquerque theater to watch this.

It is no secret when Hollywood studios drop films in the month of January. They believe they will not make any money. Paramount was smart to release, "Primate" on Jan. 9, 2026. With praise from critics and horror fans. This movie has made $18 million for Paramount. $7 million was added after the release into more Foreign markets.

MELANIA from AMAZON (MGM) 2026. Melania Trump is the First Lady of the President of the United States. Donald Trump is the 47th President of the United States.

The documentary follows "Melania" 20 days before the start of Trump's 2nd Inauguration as U.S. President. It opened in 7,000 movie theaters around the world for its first week. The documentary was pulled from theaters because of "0" ticket sales. It has dropped considerably in its second week to 2,003 movie theaters.

The production budget climbed to $75 million ($40 million rights bought by Amazon. $35 million marketing campaign). The First Lady was given $28 million by Amazon.

As of Feb. 8, 2026. "Melania" grabbed $2,378,874 (million). After 10 days of release. It has garnered a total of $13,353,819 (million). It's been reported that ticket sales were bought by "white" women over the age of 45 years. And in the Southern U.S. states like Texas.

The documentary will never recoup its costly budget and payout to Melania. It is considered a major flop.
