    LOS ANGELES --

    Superprime Films has signed acclaimed actress and filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal for representation as a director in branded and commercial work in the U.S., U.K. and France. This marks her first signing with a production company in the advertising space.

    A creative force both in front of and behind the camera, Gyllenhaal fundamentally understands both performance and storytelling. Her breakout performances in Secretary and Sherrybaby earned Golden Globe nominations, followed by an Academy Award nomination for Crazy Heart and major roles in blockbusters such as The Dark Knight.

    Gyllenhaal made the transition into filmmaking with her directorial debut, The Lost Daughter, for which she also wrote the screenplay. Adapted from a novella by Elena Ferrante, it premiered at the Venice Film Festival and won the Golden Osella Best Screenplay Award. The film went on to be nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Adapted Screenplay for Gyllenhaal, Best Actress for Olivia Colman, and Best Supporting Actress for Jessie Buckley. It also received nominations for Best Director at the Golden Globes and Best Adapted Screenplay at the BAFTAs. It won four Gotham Awards, including Best Feature and Breakthrough Director, a DGA Award, and three Independent Spirit Awards.

    Most recently Gyllenhaal directed the feature film, The Bride!, a 1930s-set adaptation of Frankenstein, starring Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jake Gyllenhaal. It will be released in theaters on March 6, 2026.

    Superprime co-founder and EP Rebecca Skinner shared, “Maggie’s experience on both sides of the camera uniquely positions her for creating a space to get the best performances from talent while also crafting emotionally resonant and visually unique films.”

    Michelle Ross, co-founder of Superprime, echoed the sentiment: “Having seen The Bride!, I can tell you it’s a beautiful film that evokes emotion on every level from love and sadness to humor and horror. That range is what makes Maggie such an exciting voice to bring a brand’s story to life.”

    Another “Brand New Day” For “Spider-Man” Atop Weekend Box Office While Two Dino Movies Vie For 3rd Place

    Sunday, August 16, 2026

    Two very different dinosaur movies devoured a modest chunk of the North American box office this weekend, although neither came close to unseating "Spider-Man" from its perch atop the charts, nor managed to steal second place from "The Odyssey."

    "Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie" and "The End of Oak Street," one targeted to very young children and the other an original PG-13 rated action movie, battled for third place in their first weekend in theaters. According to studio estimates on Sunday, the Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor movie had the slight edge, with a projected $21 million to the animated pups' $20.5 million.

    Neither stood a chance for first, however, while "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" continues to cast its sticky web around audiences three weekends into its historic run. The Sony Pictures release added another $70 million from theaters in the U.S. and Canada, bringing its domestic total to a staggering $785.8 million, making it the fourth-biggest domestic release ever. With $118.7 million from overseas markets, it surpassed $2 billion globally, only the eighth movie ever to achieve that landmark (not accounting for inflation) and the second-fastest to do so. "Avengers: Endgame" did it in 11 days in 2019. "Brand New Day" took about 18.

    "The Odyssey," now in its fifth weekend, also managed to stay in second with a $23.2 million weekend that pushed its domestic total to $504.7 million. With $98 million from international showings, propelled by $36.6 million from its first few days playing in China, Christopher Nolan's epic has now made over $1.2 billion globally.

    "The End of Oak Street" came in ahead of expectations with around $21 million from 3,446 locations. It also made $26 million from international screenings, adding up to a $47... Read More
