Keanu Reeves, Ana de Armas stun at ‘Ballerina’ special screening

The Los Angeles special screening of “Ballerina” took place at the TCL Chinese theatre in Hollywood, California on Tuesday, featuring a star-studded lineup led by Keanu Reeves. “Ballerina”, a spin-off of the popular “John Wick” movies starring Ana de Armas, is one of the most highly anticipated movies in a busy 2025 schedule for moviegoers.

Coming releases also include a live-action remake of DreamWorks Animation’s “How to Train Your Dragon”, and another installment in the long-running science fiction series, “Jurassic World Rebirth.”

“From now up until mid-August, there is at least one new release coming out every weekend with the potential of making $100 million at the domestic box office,” said Daniel Loria, senior vice president of The BoxOffice Company, which provides online ticketing services for movie theaters.

Movie ticket sales in the US and Canada are up 21 percent from a year ago, when the 2023 Hollywood strikes disrupted film production and truncated movie slates, according to Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. Still, the box office is off nearly 29 percent from 2019, before the global pandemic shuttered movie theaters and fueled the growth of video streaming. – Reuters
