MOVIE MIKE: Secret Vegas Meeting That Controls Hollywood + Movie Review: The Mummy + Trailer Park: The End of Oak Street

In this episode of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast, host Movie Mike dives into the major announcements from CinemaCon 2026, a secretive Las Vegas gathering for movie theater owners. He breaks down the financial dynamics between studios and theaters, explaining how studios earn most of their money upfront through box office sales, while theaters rely heavily on concessions, premium experiences, and ancillary revenue. The episode highlights the top eight most bankable stars in Hollywood according to theater owners, with Leonardo DiCaprio at number one, followed by Brad Pitt, Tom Holland, and Zendaya. Major upcoming releases discussed include Top Gun: Maverick’s sequel, Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday trailer, Jackass 5: Best and Last, Godzilla Minus Zero, and a prequel to Ocean’s Eleven starring Bradley Cooper and Margot Robbie. Mike also shares his spoiler-free review of Lee Cronin’s The Mummy, praising its intense atmosphere and emotional core around family grief, though criticizing its over-the-top gore and lack of narrative payoff. In the Trailer Park segment, he previews The End of Oak Street, a sci-fi survival film starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, where a suburban neighborhood is transported to a prehistoric world filled with dinosaurs. He reflects on the film’s unique status as a non-Jurassic Park dinosaur movie and honors the late actor Hudson Meek, who passed away before the film’s release. The episode closes with listener shout-outs and promotional plugs for other iHeart podcasts.
