After 23 years, Monica Keena is reliving her “final girl” moment in the ultimate horror crossover.

The Freddy vs. Jason actress recalled why it was “really cathartic” killing off Robert Englund‘s Freddy Krueger in the 2003 Ronny Yu-helmed slasher after his performance in A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984) did a number on her as a kid.

“The first horror movie that I ever saw as a kid was Nightmare on Elm Street, and it really did traumatize me,” she told Nerd Reactor. “I mean, it ruined my childhood. This was in second grade. It was horrible. I had to go to the pediatrician, my mom didn’t know what was wrong with me. I was losing all this weight. Teachers at school thought I was being abused at home.”

Keena continued, “Finally, she takes me to the pediatrician, and he’s like, ‘What’s going on?’ I said, ‘You’re not gonna understand. You’re not gonna believe me because he doesn’t show himself to grown-ups.’ Then he was really concerned. I said, ‘There’s this guy, and his name is Freddy Krueger.’ He explains stuff to me. My mom went to the Brooklyn Public Library, she got a clipping of Robert Englund from a newspaper article … and she showed me, ‘He’s a real guy in real life, he’s not Freddy Krueger. That’s just a character.’ And I had it taped up by my little childhood bed. I had it on my wall for years.”

In Freddy vs. Jason, Keena starred as Springwood teen Lori Campbell, who ultimately decapitates Freddy Krueger after learning he murdered her mother, sending him to a watery grave with Jason Voorhees at Camp Crystal Lake.

Despite the negative reception from critics, Anne Hathaway is defending Tom Cruise‘s Digger.

The Oscar winner, who recently joined Letterboxd, shared her review of director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s satirical black comedy, which centers on an egotistical oil tycoon who embarks on a mission to stop a natural disaster he unleashed.

“I loved this brilliant movie,” she wrote. “It’s smart and trippy and aggressive and funny and ambitious. It’s worth making the time see and decide for yourself what you make of it. For me? 10/10.”

While The Odyssey star also gave the film five stars, she listed four other pics as her favorites, including Moonstruck, It Happened One Night, Mirror and Phantom Thread.

Hathaway’s comments came after her new movie Verity — in which she stars opposite Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett — battled Digger at the opening box office weekend. Though it wasn’t much of a fight, as Verity completely dominated. As of Thursday, Verity has grossed more than $70.8 million worldwide, while Digger has notched $24.9 million globally.

Cruise’s pic has faced a challenging path, receiving a 52 percent approval from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The audience score was slightly better at 73 percent. On Letterboxd, Digger boasts an impressive 3.8/5 audience score from almost 350,000 users. In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, however, chief film critic David Rooney dismissed the film as “dead and buried, or ought to be.”

Following the film’s disappointing box office debut, Cruise posted on X, “Digger is officially in theaters and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to create this film alongside such talented artists. Thank you to the entire cast and crew for your dedication, hard work and joy. The experience was truly unforgettable and I’m so proud of what we created.”

Hathaway will next star opposite Cruise in the Days of Thunder sequel at Paramount, which is set to be released on June 2, 2028.

The Social Reckoning might not have a lot of influence at the box office this weekend as fellow newcomer Other Mommy looks to win the frame.

Sony Pictures is set to release the companion film to 2010’s The Social Network in 2,200 North American theaters, with the studio projecting an opening for The Social Reckoning around $7 million. Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed the film that carries a modest $30 million budget and stars Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong.

The Social Network held a similar spot on the fall calendar when it opened Oct. 1, 2010, and hit No. 1 domestically with $22.4 million before retaining the top spot in its second weekend with a remarkable decline of just 31 percent. David Fincher helmed that film, which told the story of Facebook’s early days and starred Jesse Eisenberg as founder Mark Zuckerberg, with Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake and Armie Hammer rounding out the cast. It collected $224 million globally across its run and won three Academy Awards from eight nominations.

None of the first movie’s castmembers return for the follow-up that sees Sorkin — who earned an Oscar for his screenplay for The Social Network — replace Fincher in the director’s chair. The Social Reckoning is a fact-based thriller centering on a Facebook staffer (Madison) who teams up with a journalist (White) to expose concerning truths about the company led by Zuckerberg (Strong).

While The Social Network holds a 96 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and remains one of the most acclaimed titles of its decade, The Social Reckoning has seen a more mixed critical response. Its critics rating stands at 60 on Rotten Tomatoes, although The Hollywood Reporter chief film critic David Rooney’s review heralded it as an “engrossing whistleblower thriller.” Other adult dramas have opened in the projected range for The Social Reckoning, such as last year’s Caught Stealing ($7.8 million) and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere ($8.8 million), although both of those underperformed.

Social Reckoning is part of a spate of a movies about tech companies that will hit theaters in the last few months of the year. Also debuting soon are the forthcoming Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything and Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI-focused Artificial, while Bleecker Street’s doc Musk opens Friday at select theaters in New York and Los Angeles.

“The news about these companies is as urgent as ever, but they are still stories about corporate power, control and money,” David A. Gross, who runs the newsletter FranchiseRe, tells THR about the tech-centric titles. “They seem to have a better home on streaming than on the big screen. Even when they’re well made, they’re not very cinematic in terms of what really works theatrically, which involves some kind of visual or emotional experience.”

This weekend’s top spot on the box office chart is likely to go to the horror offering Other Mommy, as Halloween season charges ahead. Universal Pictures launches the Jessica Chastain-led film in 3,200 North American locations and projects a $20 million opening. Director Rob Savage’s $19 million-budgeted movie focuses on a sinister entity showing up in a young girl’s closet.

The studio has seen promising interest in the movie ever since its startling trailer debuted ahead of Universal’s The Odyssey in theaters over the summer. Critical response looks to be middling for Other Mommy, with critic Richard Lawson writing for THR that the movie is “an attractive but mostly vacuous collection of jumpy bits and half-baked mythology.”

Competing with Other Mommy for female theatergoers looking for thrills is Amazon MGM Studios’ holdover Verity, starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett. Despite a challenging C+ CinemaScore and a 33 percent critics approval on Rotten Tomatoes, director Michael Showalter’s adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel debuted last weekend with $32 million to win the frame, far outpacing the launch for Tom Cruise’s embattled Digger. Verity’s opening weekend skewed heavily female at 78 percent.

In addition to Alex Gibney’s documentary about Elon Musk, other titles debuting in limited release this weekend include Chris Rock’s Misty Green, biographical drama Tenzing and action-comedy Double Trouble.
