'Ice Age 6,' 'Avengers 5,' And 19 Other Movie Sequels That Are Coming Out Whether We Want Them Or Not
A good sequel can be the most satisfying conclusion. Some of our favorite stories are only complete once the credits have rolled once more. And when done right, a fantastic movie trilogy is absolutely the way to spend a break. My dad first showed me the Jason Bourne movies over a long Easter weekend, and watching those movies back to back was truly an experience for the ages.
But these days, it does feel like we're getting more sequels than we can keep up with. And it's worth asking the question: does every movie really need to be made into a franchise? So to answer, here's a list of 21 sequels you forgot they were making, so we can reflect on what Hollywood is coming to.

2. Avatar: Fire and Ash
3. National Treasure 3
4. Freakier Friday
5. Toy Story 5

Will ‘M3GAN 2.0' Run Brad Pitt's ‘F1' Off The Road At U.S. Box Office?
Apple Original Films' Brad Pitt movie F1 and Blumhouse and Atomic Monster/Universal's M3GAN 2.0 hit three-week tracking Thursday morning, each with an eye at $30 million-plus in their respective three-day U.S. box office openings June 27-29, the pre-July 4th frame. Some, not all, sources are seeing that F1, which cost Apple a net $200M (not $300M), actually has the edge over the killer doll with $35M, and maybe a $40M start in the U.S. and Canada. F1, which also stars Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon and Damson Idris, was shot around the world at myriad Formula One races. More from Deadline Brad Pitt's Apple 'F1' Movie: Everything We Know So Far Super Bowl Trailer: It's A 'Femininomenon' As 'M3GAN 2.0' Returns To Slay Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt & Amazon MGM Studios Team On Film And Docuseries Revolving Around Isle Of Man Tourist Trophy Race; Mediawan Among Producers When it comes to F1, the rally is expected to be at the overseas box office, where Formula One is more popular than the U.S.; Warner Bros is distributing the movie globally on behalf of Apple. The footage shown at CinemaCon riveted the room of exhibitors. That said, we've heard the Joseph Kosinski-directed movie has tested well, and could surprise. 'It definitely moves faster than Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning' one non-Warner Bros source told us. Media screenings are already being held for F1. The first M3GAN opened in the post-2023 New Year corridor to a surprising $30.4M and legged out to $95.1M domestic, $180M worldwide on a $12M production cost, fueled by TikTok and dancing Megan doll troupe videos that made a splash at major landmarks and on late-night talk shows. The PG-13 sequel is strongest with women under 25 in unaided awareness but also solid in women over 25, as well as all men. In fact, M3GAN 2.0 came on ahead of its first chapter in unaided awareness and in total awareness (hello, it's a sequel!). Unaided awareness is that polling category whereby those being queried actually bring up the title of a movie they're interested in without being prodded by the pollster. F1's best demos are men in unaided awareness, but in first choice men over 25 are leading, followed by women over 25 and men under 25. In unaided awareness, F1's tracking is ahead of pre-Covid's Ford v. Ferrari, which opened to $31.4M and legged out to $117.6M. Kosinski previously directed Tom Cruise's biggest opening, Top Gun: Maverick, which launched to $126.7M in its first three days of Memorial Day weekend 2022, legging out to $718.7M domestic. F1 isn't expected to emulate that long-awaited sequel's box office trajectory. Both movies will run into Universal's Jurassic World: Rebirth in cinemas on Wednesday, July 2.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Were Seated with the Same Last Name at a Special Table at Recent Wedding — All the Details
The seating placards for a recent wedding that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce" The wedding planner behind the Tennessee nuptials revealed the seat assignments on Instagram The news comes amid the recent success of Swift buying back her mastersThe wedding planner behind the Tennessee wedding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce recently attended dropped an Easter egg of her own — that the couple's seat assignments were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce." The photo of the seat assignment, shared by wedding planner Ellie Nottoli on Instagram Monday, June 9, also revealed that the couple was placed at table 13 — famously Swift's lucky number, which she used to paint on her hand for live performances during her early touring years. Other photos offered a behind-the-scenes look at the sky blue and butter yellow spring wedding color palette, as well as the setup of the whimsical outdoor wedding, including the blue hydrangea centerpieces. PEOPLE reached out to Nottoli for comment, but did not immediately hear back. The couple stepped out for the wedding in Tennessee on Friday, June 6. Photos and videos quickly circulated online after one attendee posted a snap of Swift talking to fellow wedding attendees with the caption, 'not taylor swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding." In additional photos and videos shared by guests at the ceremony, Swift, 35, wore a blue floral midi dress paired with brown platform sandals and her natural blonde waves. Kelce, 35, wore a striped button-down shirt, brown slacks, and black shoes. The "Fortnight" singer was seen spending time outdoors with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and their fellow wedding guests. Fans took to social media after Nottoli shared wedding details on social media — including the seat assignments for Swift and Kelce. One reposted an image of the invitation to X, and wrote: "TABLE 13????? TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE????😭😭😭 THIS IS SO SERIOUS😭😭." Another added, "TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE?!????? EXUSE ME." While a third wondered, "should i say congratulations? 🤫💍" Swift and Kelce's appearance at the wedding came shortly after the news of Swift acquiring her first six masters from Shamrock Capital after they were previously purchased by Scooter Braun.

The 14-time Grammy winner announced in an Instagram post that she regained control of her first six albums, directing fans to a handwritten letter posted to her website. "Hi. I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow," Swift wrote in the opening of the letter. "A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now," she continued. Read the original article on People

Sly Stone, Funk-Rock Pioneer, Dies at 82
Sly Stone, who took audiences higher during memorable performances at Woodstock and the Fillmore West, but whose career was plagued by drug problems and periodic disappearances, has died. He was 82. Stone died after a 'prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues,' his family said Monday. More from The Hollywood Reporter Frederick Forsyth, Author of 'The Day of the Jackal,' Dies at 86 Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' Album Surges Back to Top Five on Charts Following Masters Purchase 'Outer Banks' Actor Jonathan Daviss to Star as Snoop Dogg in Universal Biopic 'It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved dad, Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone,' they wrote in a statement. 'Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family. While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come.' Sly and the Family Stone burst onto the scene in 1968 with the cathartic 'Dance to the Music' and followed with a string of crossover smash hits that defined their hometown San Francisco's 'Summer of Love,' including 'Stand!,' 'Hot Fun in the Summertime,' 'Runnin' Away,' 'If You Want Me to Stay' and 'Time for Livin'.' The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and inspired everyone from Herbie Hancock to George Clinton's P-Funk, Michael Jackson, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, The Isley Brothers, Prince, Public Enemy, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Eyed Peas, The Roots, OutKast and Kendrick Lamar. Stone's life was the subject of significant discussion this year thanks to Questlove's documentary Sly Lives, which was released to significant acclaim earlier this year. 'Sly was a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator, and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music,' Sly's family said. 'His iconic songs have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable. In a testament to his enduring creative spirit, Sly recently completed the screenplay for his life story, a project we are eager to share with the world in due course, which follows a memoir published in 2024.' Born on March 15, 1943, in Denton, Texas, Sylvester Stewart came from a family of devout Christians who took their beliefs with them when they moved to Vallejo, California, a suburb northwest of San Francisco. Reared on church music, he was 8 when he and three of his siblings recorded a gospel single as The Stewart Four. A musical prodigy who picked up the name 'Sly' in grade school, Stone was adept at keyboards, guitar, bass and drums by 11, and he went on to perform in several high school bands, one of which, The Viscaynes, boasted a then unheard-of mixed lineup and released a few singles. After attending Vallejo Junior College, Stone got a job as a fast-talking DJ at San Francisco R&B station KSOL, where his eclectic taste stoked his popularity, working the new British bands like The Beatles, The Animals and The Stones into the station's soul format. By the time he brought his show to crosstown KDIA, he had already been producing records for the local label, Autumn Records, thanks to DJ Tom Donahue, who recommended him. The company was the home for such Bay Area bands as The Beau Brummels, The Charlatans, The Great Society and The Mojo Men. In 1964, Stone produced Bobby Freeman's Top-5 pop hit, 'C'mon and Swim.' After leading a band called Sly and the Stoners, featuring trumpet player Cynthia Robinson, Stone brought in his brother Freddie on guitar, sister Rose on keyboards, Gregg Errico on drums, Jerry Martini on sax and Larry Graham on bass to complete Sly and the Family Stone. They drew the interest of Epic Records, where they signed and released their debut album, A Whole New Thing at the end of 1967's Summer of Love. Despite critical acclaim, A Whole New Thing failed to resonate with audiences. However, the subsequent release of a new single, 'Dance to the Music,' from the album of the same name, vaulted into the top-10 on both the pop and R&B charts. 'Everyday People' (and its B-side, 'Sing a Simple Song'), released in late 1968 and followed by the album Stand! In May of 1969, marked the crossover emergence of the band, going to No. 1 on both the pop and R&B charts, followed by the title track and its B-side, 'I Want To Take You Higher.' The album climbed to No. 3 R&B and No. 13 pop, the band's first certified platinum seller, with iconic non-singles such as 'Sex Machine.' There's a Riot Goin' On is arguably Stone's masterpiece, both critically and commercially — it went to the top of both the Pop and R&B album charts within a few weeks of its release in November 1971. The transformative masterpiece of race and song — a template for the later work of Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar, among others — the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. That turned out to be Sly's last hurrah. In June 1973, the band released a new single, 'If You Want Me to Stay.' (The departures of Graham and Errico during this period hastened the band's demise.) Continuing with Epic, Sly recorded High on You in 1975 and Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm Back a year later. In June 1983, Stone was arrested in Fort Myers, Florida, and charged with cocaine possession. He toured with Bobby Womack, recorded with Jesse Johnson and released several songs from soundtracks, including 'Eek-a-Boo Static Automatic' for Soul Man (1986) and 'I'm the Burglar' for Burglar (1987). Stone sightings were sporadic after that, though he did appear for his Rock Hall induction and at the 2006 Grammys, where he briefly and bizarrely participated in a multi-artist tribute to the band featuring John Legend, Fantasia, Adam Levine, Ciara, Steve Tyler and Joe Perry. He abruptly waved goodbye midway through 'I Want to Take You Higher,' disappearing into the night. Sly Stone is survived by a son, Sylvester Jr. (from first wife Kathy Silva), and two daughters, Sylvette (whose mom is Robinson) and Novena Carmel. 'We extend our deepest gratitude for the outpouring of love and prayers during this difficult time. We wish peace and harmony to all who were touched by Sly's life and his iconic music,' his family said. 'Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support.'
