The last decade hasn’t been particularly kind to comedy movies. Of the Top 50 highest-grossing comedies of all time, just seven of them were released in the last 10 years. Compare that to the Top 50 highest-grossing films in general, of which 35, or 80%, came out in 2013 or later.

Barbie could soon be the first non-sequel, non-superhero comedy to finish first at the box office the year of its premiere since “Finding Nemo” in 2003.

“The Gilded Age,” Julian Fellowes’ critically lauded follow-up to “Downton Abbey,” has returned for a second season on HBO. Although “The Gilded Age” slightly alters the formula that made “Downton Abbey” so popular, swapping out turn-of-the-century England for a rapidly developing America in the late 1800s, it takes place just a few decades before its predecessor. Does that just reflect Fellowes’ fascination with a particular period? Or should we take it as a sign from a master of the genre that this is the ideal setting for a period piece TV show?

Matthew Perry‘s Chandler Bing — the most sarcastic of the “Friends” sextet — is the No. 1 favorite character of the sitcom’s fans, according to votes on ranking site Ranker.

Based on 169,000 total votes, Bing tops the list of the best characters on “Friends,” per Ranker. He’s followed by Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc); Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston); Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow); Ross Gellar (David Schwimmer); and Monica Gellar (Courteney Cox).

“Killers of the Flower Moon” is Martin Scorsese’s 27th feature-length narrative film, and it seems as though the famed director, now 80, is only getting better with age. The rave reviews of Scorsese’s latest movie, as well as its $23 million opening, indicate that his powers as an artist are far from declining. And while much of the critics’ praise is reserved for star Lily Gladstone, audiences will no doubt be drawn into theaters by the return of two of Scorsese’s most frequent collaborators: Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

Just how closely associated are Scorsese and his favorite lead actors? On Ranker’s list of The Best Martin Scorsese Movies, voted on over 12,000 times, every one of the Top 13 movies features either De Niro or DiCaprio

“Rick and Morty.” “Futurama.” “South Park.” ”Bob’s Burgers.” “Archer.” “The Simpsons.” “Family Guy.” “American Dad!”

What do these shows have in common? For one thing, they’re the Top 8 most popular adult animated comedies, according to a Ranker list that’s been voted on by 50,000 TV fans. But the shows also all premiered at least 10 years ago — and as of the writing of this article, they’re all still on the air. (“Archer” will officially conclude with a special finale event in December.)

The arrival of “Loki’s” second season could be exactly what Disney+ needs to grab and then hold onto the attention of any new subscribers gained in their latest deal with Charter Communications.

According to Ranker Insights, the Marvel series is a “gateway show” for Disney+. Our data says that fans of Loki are more likely to also enjoy the streamer’s other popular titles than any other titles in the catalog.
