| Kyle Buchanan Pop Culture Reporter | | Hey, movie fans! | | Did you notice the Directors Guild announcement this week that unless streaming movies play in a theater first, their helmers will be disqualified from contention for the top feature-film category at the D.G.A. awards? That wouldn't have nixed this past year's winner Alfonso Cuarón, since Netflix gave "Roma" an exclusive theatrical window before it debuted on streaming, but it's another sign of how many in Hollywood are nervous about the quickly changing future of the movie industry. | | Speaking of which, if you didn't have the chance to check out my big think tank on that topic, now's the time! I've also put up separate Q. and A.s with the likes of Joe and Anthony Russo, Jessica Chastain, Barry Jenkins and J.J. Abrams, all of whom try to predict what will happen during the next decade of the movie business. The only thing that's clear is that nothing will be the same. | | In theaters, this week's wide releases include the latest Marvel entry, "Spider-Man: Far From Home," the latest horror film in the "Conjuring" universe, "Annabelle Comes Home," and the jukebox-musical fantasy "Yesterday," stuffed with Beatles songs ready to entice moviegoers who've recently been offered the big-screen charms of Elton John and Queen. | | In more limited release, you've got the Critic's Pick workplace drama "The Chambermaid," the yachting race documentary "Maiden," Daisy Ridley and Naomi Watts in the revisionist "Ophelia," and Eva Green and Alicia Vikander in "Euphoria" (not to be confused with the currently airing HBO series featuring the "Spider-Man: Far From Home" star Zendaya). | | |
