The
final week of The CW's DC TV slate for the 2016/2017 season is nearly
upon us and in a bid to raise the excitement, The CW has released new
extended trailers, with plenty of new footage, for Monday night's second
season finale of Supergirl and Wednesday night's fifth season finale of Arrow.
The network has opted not to share anything from The Flash
just yet as its finale is likely the most anticipated and spoiler-y of
the bunch, especially with Iris' current predicament and a battle
between Barry and Savitar looming.

We’re a little over two weeks out from Wonder Woman becoming the first female superhero to get her own big screen adventure all to herself. The marketing onslaught is in full swing, and box office tracking has the opening weekend landing anywhere between $65 million on the lower end up to $105 million on the higher end. More than likely, it will end up somewhere in the middle around the $85 million mark, but two weeks is a lot of time for a studio to convince audiences to see a movie.
The United States isn’t the only place where Wonder Woman is getting a huge push. In fact, our latest look at Diana Prince’s adventures in World War I comes from a Chinese trailer that has plenty of new footage from the action on the battlefield. However, Warner Bros. Pictures is still keeping Ares hidden away from sight for the time being, though there is the tiniest glimpse of the villain from a distance in this trailer. The action continues to look positively spectacular, whether it’s in the villages of England, on the battlefield of World War I, or any of the locations Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) will find herself. What I love about the action is how much the superhero is seen using her own strength, as well as resourcefully using every weapon at her disposal, whether it’s her gauntlets, shield or sword. see more... Wonder Woman arrives on June 2, 2017.
If you've ever wanted to see Scarlett Johansson do a bunch of drugs with some funny ladies and accidentally kill a male stripper, you'll probably want to watch this latest red band trailer for Rough Night. Instead of seeing Scarlett Johansson disposing of some bad guys as an Avenger, we are going to see her up to absolutely no good and be an accessory to murder in this R-rated comedy that looks like it could be the female version of The Hangover. Fair warning: this thing is very NSFW, so if you're around small children or in an office, at least throw on some headphones.
Sony recently released this second trailer for Rough Night which paints pretty much the same picture as the first trailer did, but it is definitely a bit heavier on the raunchy stuff. By the looks of it, this movie will be blending elements from The Hangover, Weekend at Bernie's and Very Bad Things, with a female-driven cast. Hollywood has been pretty big on taking premises that traditionally featured males in the lead and gender-swapping them and updating them for a modern audience. That looks like more or less to be what is going on with Rough Night.
The cast for Rough Night includes Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Kravitz, Kate McKinnon, Demi Moore, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer and Ty Burrell. The movie is directed by Lucia Aniello with a script she co-wrote with Paul W. Downs. Rough Night is set for release on June 16. Be sure to check out the new red band trailer for yourself below.

There's no way to sugar coat it, Man Down had an awful start to its tenure at the UK box office over the weekend. That's because the film grossed the sum total of $8.40 (£7), which equates to it selling just one single ticket. But there might be one little silver lining to the dismal performance of the Shia LaBeouf-led war thriller, because by performing so poorly, it has surely broken some kind of world record.
Man Down never really stood much of a chance of making an impact at the box office across the pond, though, as it actually only played in one location in the country, according to Variety. For those of you that are interested, it was shown in Burnley's Reel Cinema, while it was also released simultaneously digitally on demand. Those of you who missed it and don't live close to the Northern haven that is Burnley will still be able to catch Man Down in the next few weeks, as it's being released on DVD and Blu-ray next month.
All of which suggests that not only has the theatrical release of low-budgeted films like Man Down now become an afterthought, they're quickly becoming a giant waste of time, too. Something that is frankly rather depressing for those of us that love the cinema-going experience and think it's integral to making movies so magical.
Of course, there's no need to completely overreact just yet. Maybe this was just a one-off case of a film being released in the wrong place at the wrong time, especially since absolutely no promotional work or planning seems to have been done to coincide with Man Down hitting cinemas. Those of you who want to try and figure out for yourself whether or not Man Down is worth a watch can check out its trailer below.
