NEW YORK (AP) -- Ron Howard recalls seeing his first opera when he was 4 years old. Just don't ask him to tell you much about it. The budding child star and future director was in Austria with his parents to shoot a movie, and they took him to a performance at the Vienna State Opera House. "I remember this soprano hitting this note in this unbelievable gown," Howard said, gesturing with his arms to conjure up the scene, "There's the set, she's over here on the left in profile, and she's singing, and she turns...

"The Last Black Man in San Francisco " is deeply, even spiritually, connected to its home city, but Joe Talbot's film resides in such a dreamy, plaintive register that it feels like a broader lament for the displaced. It's an unrequited love story for an out-of-reach America. Jimmie Fails (the actor shares his character's name) is a nursing-home attendant who pines for the house he grew up in: a gorgeous, ornately decorated Victorian in the Fillmore district. Once a bastion of African American...

If the sweet, animated 2016 film "The Secret Life of Pets" was mostly for kids, its new sequel might be for another segment of the audience altogether — whoever is buying the tickets.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The NBA’s first international Finals may be a coup for Canada, but decidedly not for ABC. Viewership for the first two games of the series between the Golden State Warriors and Toronto Raptors was down sharply from last year’s finals — 24 percent for the first game and 26 percent for the second, the Nielsen company said.. While LeBron James fans may point to the star’s absence, geography likely accounts for most of the drop. Toronto’s television audience is not included in the Nielsen ratings,...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The latest iteration of the Godzilla franchise took over the top spot from "Aladdin" and roared louder than Elton John at the weekend box office, but it still left a notably smaller footprint on North American theaters than its city-wrecking predecessors. "Godzilla: King of the Monsters," Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment's sequel to 2014's "Godzilla," was brought down to size by poor reviews and middling interest from moviegoers, selling $49 million in tickets, according to studio...
