    NEW YORK --

    Sibling Rivalry Films has brought Kevin Castanheira aboard its directorial roster.

    Castanheira began his career working as a DP. He would quickly transition into directing, building a portfolio of successful campaigns for the likes of Marshall Headphones, Huawei, Johnnie Walker, H&M, Casamigos and Rimowa. Castanheira continues to photograph, having shot stills on many of the campaigns he directs.

    Craft is at the center of all projects he directs. He focuses on capturing counterculture with a heart, beautiful compositions, and working within a technical framework that accentuates his ability for storytelling–as illustrated by his VFX sensibilities during the Marshall Headphones and Alexa project. Prior to joining bicoastal Sibling Rivalry, Castanheira was repped by production house Friends & Family.

    “Kevin is a versatile craftsman,” said Darren Foldes, managing director/executive producer at Sibling Rivalry Films. “His work spans multiple genres and the unifying voice amongst all of it is the high quality, future-facing casting, impeccable craftsmanship, and smart thinking. He makes it all seem so effortless but as we all know there’s a ton of work that goes into that.”

    “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” Tops Weekend Box Office

    Sunday, December 22, 2024

    In the holiday season battle of big-budget family movies, Paramount Pictures' "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" sped past the Walt Disney Co.'s "Mufasa: The Lion King" to take the top spot at the box office ahead of the lucrative Christmas corridor in theaters.

    "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" debuted with $62 million in ticket sales over the weekend, according to studio estimates. With strong reviews (86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes) and a high score from audiences (an "A" on CinemaScore), "Sonic 3" is well positioned to be the top choice in cinemas during the busiest moviegoing period of the year.

    It was telling of some wider trends that "Sonic 3" — made for $122 million — bested one of Disney's top properties. Videogame adaptations, once among the most derided movie genres, have emerged as one of the most dependable box office forces in recent years. The two previous "Sonic" movies together grossed more $700 million worldwide and the third installment appears likely to do better than both of them. A fourth "Sonic" movie is already in development.

    "Mufasa," however, was humbled in its opening weekend, with its $35 million in domestic ticket sales coming in notably shy of expectations . The photorealistic "Lion King" prequel even opened wider than "Sonic 3," launching on 4,100 theaters and gobbling up most IMAX screens, compared with 3,761 locations for "Sonic 3."

    Though "Mufasa's" reviews were poor (56% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences gave it an "A-" CinemaScore.

    "Sonic 3" nearly doubled the haul for "Mufasa," which cost more than $200 million to make. Disney could look to $87.2 million in international sales to help make up the difference. The third "Sonic" will rollout in most overseas markets in the coming weeks.
