‘Sinners' returns to AMC for discounted screening on Juneteenth. What to know
Vampire horror flick 'Sinners' will head back to the big screen at AMC Theatres — for one day only. To celebrate Juneteenth, moviegoers can catch the hit film at a discounted 'Fan Faves' price at 330-plus theaters nationwide Thursday, June 19, according to the theater chain. Some tickets start at $5 plus tax, though 'Fan Faves' pricing varies by location, AMC said. The special pricing still 'offers significant value' compared to the cost of an evening ticket, according to the company. Juneteenth was named a federal holiday in 2021 and commemorates the day enslaved Black Americans in Texas learned they had been freed. The news came June 19, 1865, more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. 'Sinners,' directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan, is one of two films celebrating Black stories set to screen at AMC in time for the holiday. 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back,' according to IMDb. Fans can also see an early access showing of '40 Acres,' an action-thriller starring award-winning actress Danielle Deadwyler, AMC said. 'After a series of plagues and wars have left society in ruins, the Freemans are surviving on an isolated and well-protected farm, until they're forced to make a stand against a ravenous militia hell bent on claiming their land,' according to the theater chain. The film, premiering nationally July 2, will screen at 100 select AMC theaters on Juneteenth, the company said. AMC said the special programming initiative was made possible by an internal advisory council aimed at supporting the company's Black associates, improving cultural awareness and promoting its diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. 'Sinners' premiered in U.S. theaters April 16 with advance screenings in IMAX formats, according to IMDb. The film grossed more than $350 million worldwide and is now available to buy or rent online, The Hollywood Reporter reported. Find your nearest AMC Theatre here.

Titus Welliver To Star In ‘The Westies' MGM+ Series
EXCLUSIVE: Former Bosch star Titus Welliver is back on the cop beat as a lead opposite J.K. Simmons in The Westies, MGM+'s upcoming period crime drama series from co-creator, executive producer and showrunner Chris Brancato. Co-created by Brancato and Michael Panes, The Westies is set in the early 1980s when the construction of the Jacob Javitz Convention Center on the Westies' home turf in Hell's Kitchen promises a financial windfall for the Irish-American organized crime gang. Despite being outnumbered 50-to-1 by the Five Families of the Italian mafia, The Westies' legendary brutality and cunning have given them the leverage necessary to share the spoils through a fragile détente. But internal conflict between the brash younger generation and the old-school leadership threatens to set a match to this powder keg, which will sweep the Westies into the FBI's ever-deepening investigation into the Italian mafia. More from Deadline 'Bosch' Spinoff 'Ballard' Starring Maggie Q Sets Premiere Date At Prime Video 2025 Premiere Dates For New & Returning Series On Broadcast, Cable & Streaming Stephen King Series 'The Institute' Gets Premiere Date At MGM+; First Look Welliver will play Glenn Keenan, a troubled NYPD officer who grew up with the Westies crew, torn between loyalty to the law and love for his wayward son.

Production on the eight-episode The Westies is slated to begin in July in Toronto with casting by Seth Yanklewitz, CSA and Ben Pollack. Known for his role as LAPD Detective Harry Bosch in the Amazon franchise, Welliver recently starred in the proposed Equalizer spinoff for CBS.

The Other Side of Sicily You Should Explore This Summer
I'm somewhere atop Europe's only active volcano. Her name is Mount Etna, and she's a beauty: immense and fiery. In this part of eastern Sicily, the mountain is ubiquitous: not only can you see her for miles, there are rice balls, or arancini, in the shape of her. She's inspired more art than a pop star's torrid romance. There's even a deep red liquor, the locally made Fuoco del Vulcano, in honor of her strength. (Proceed with caution: it's 70 proof, and I looked like Willie E. Coyote swallowing dynamite when I took a sip.) More often than not throughout 2025, Mount Etna has been doing what she does best: blowing off steam and lava. And who hasn't done that from time to time? I have a few dirty martinis, Mount Etna erupts now and then. Same difference. I'm here in Sicily for the first time exploring the off-the-beaten path destinations on the trendy island. I'm a quarter Sicilian, so this actually is my Roman Empire. (The Greeks and Arabs ran this land throughout the years, too). I don't need to tell you about that certain HBO-turned-Max-turned-HBO Max series that has inspired a million excursions in the recent era. But on the eastern edge of the island, beyond the Gucci and gelato shop-lined streets of Taormina (where I'll eventually wind up), there's a bit more to the area than the bustling tourist meccas that have turned some Italian towns like this into places out of Epcot Center. On the contrary, while Mount Etna does indeed woo tourists (sometimes clueless ones, to the chagrin of local authorities), it's much less polished than other la dolce vita destinations. My ride up here was an offered excursion courtesy Donna Carmela, the laidback 18-suite boutique hotel I'm staying at tonight which is located roughly an hour from the heart of the volcano and somewhere halfway between the charmingly unpolished city of Catania and the aforementioned Taormina. It's family-run by the Faros, right down to the pictures of nonnas, uncles and kids on the wall in its spacious communal living room area. The Faro clan also runs a local floral park and winery, which is also on my schedule to visit. I refresh in my bungalow, which boasts a private patio and wading pool, pull my trusty sneakers out of my luggage and head out.
