Originally rumored to have a runtime exceeding four hours, AMC Theatres now confirms that the film will run approximately 130 minutes (2 hours and 10 minutes). The movie, which chronicles the rise of Michael Jackson during the 1980s, has faced challenges, including legal issues that necessitated a reworking of its third act. It remains to be seen how much of this altered content will be included in the final version or reserved for a potential sequel.

In other news, the anticipated sequel to the “Godzilla” franchise, titled “Godzilla Minus Zero,” has been confirmed for release in IMAX theaters. According to an earnings call from IMAX, the film is set to debut in Japan on November 3, 2023, followed by a wider release in the United States and other international markets on November 6. Fans are eager to see how this installment builds on the success of its predecessor, “Godzilla Minus One.”

Video game enthusiasts can look forward to the release of Bethesda’s “Starfield” on the PlayStation 5, with insiders suggesting a targeted launch date of April 7, 2024. This physical release in Europe is generating excitement, especially among gamers who have been eagerly awaiting the title’s arrival on additional platforms.

Capcom’s latest installment in the Resident Evil franchise, “Resident Evil Requiem,” has quickly gained acclaim, achieving remarkable user review scores.
