The Rajshahi branch of Star Cineplex, located in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Hi-Tech Park, has been vandalised by unknown assailants today (August 7). The news was confirmed by the Chairman of Star Cineplex, former MP Mahboob Rahman Ruhel.

The film, featuring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, has had a massive opening, quickly approaching the US $500 million mark globally. As of the latest figures, “Deadpool & Wolverine” has amassed US $496.3 million worldwide, with the final tally expected to surpass half a billion dollars soon.

In recent years, attendance at Eid-special movie releases saw a significant surge. However, this Eid, the Shakib Khan starrer "Toofan" not only met but exceeded records set in the past few years. The film's demand remained robust even post-Eid, prompting the country's largest multiplex to add more screenings each week.

Due to the ongoing unrest over the quota reform movement, the country's cinemas are facing significant difficulties. Even five weeks into Eid, last week's audience interest in movies was noticeable. Weekend crowds were also evident. Those involved in the film industry were hopeful about the future. However, the sudden instability in the country has concerned cinema hall authorities. Although some single-screen cinemas have reopened today, the audience turnout is not the same as before. The multiplexes, however, remain uncertain about their reopening.

“Despicable Me 4” is set to hit the theatres across the globe today, July 3, including the United States. There is good news for fans in Bangladesh — the film will also debut at Star Cineplex on the same day. 

“Revenge” and “Dark World” had been playing at Star Cineplex’s branches in Bashundhara City and Sony Square, Mirpur. However, with the audience turnout failing to meet expectations, the management has opted to replace these films with additional screenings of “Toofan” — increasing the on-demand film’s total number of shows to 55.

In celebration of Eid, Star Cineplex is set to release three new films simultaneously on June 14. The lineup features the highly anticipated "Bad Boys: Ride or Die", the newest entry in the popular “Bad Boys” franchise, which premiered in the United States on June 7.

During its premiere at Cannes, the film received a seven-minute-long standing ovation. The event was attended by its primary cast members Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, and director George Miller.

Earlier on May 3, two movies hit the screens– "Shyama Kabya", directed by Badrul Anam Saud, and "Deadbody", directed by Mohammad Iqbal. Both directors have accused Star Cineplex of favouring foreign films over Bangla cinema.

Amidst Star Cineplex's alleged inclination towards showcasing foreign films over Bengali films, which has garnered severe criticism from the artiste community and audiences alike, the director asked for his film to be withdrawn from Star Cineplex.

The controversy has escalated with the abrupt replacement of these local hits with foreign movies, despite the scheduled release of new Bengali films like "Shyama Kabya" and "Dead Body".

Directed by Hollywood producer David Leitch, the film will be internationally released on May 3. However, On May 1, the film will be released in Star Cineplex, allowing Bangladeshi audiences to watch it before many other countries including the United States and Canada.

A special cinematic tribute to Argentina's triumphant 2022 World Cup victory in Qatar is set to grace the screens of Star Cineplex. Titled “Muchachos, la película de la gente”, this production is a heartfelt portrayal of the joyous journey of the Argentine national team and their passionate supporters.

The recent Eid-ul-Fitr festivities have witnessed the release of 11 new films across the country. Among these, eight Bangla films are being screened at Star Cineplex, with director Mishuk Moni's "Deyaler Desh" drawing the highest attendance.

This Eid-ul-Fitr, an astounding number of films–totalling 11– were released, offering a wide selection for movie-goers. Amongst them, the Shakib Khan starrer “Rajkumar” is predictably leading in earnings in its first week. Directed by Himel Ashraf, the film premiered in a record-breaking 127 cinemas and has been selling out in all multiplexes since its opening day. It is also performing strongly in single-screen theatres.

Three films fell off from the Eid race in the country’s premier multiplex, Star Cineplex. On the third and fifth day of Eid-ul-Fitr respectively, Kazi Hayat directorial film “Green Card” and Chotku Ahmed’s government-granted film “Ahare Jibon” were taken down. However, both movies are still running shows at Lion Cinemas.

Star Cineplex plans to showcase a curated selection of eight movies from the lineup.

The Star Cineplex authorities had ambitious plans for the film, which marked their first import under the Safta agreement. Despite preparations for a grand premiere, the screening couldn't proceed as scheduled on Friday (March 29), as the film couldn’t get censor clearance.

The film, a heist comedy thriller set in the realm of commercial aviation, showcases the first-ever collaboration between Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon.

In a pleasantly surprising move, Star Cineplex is all set to screen two previous blockbusters helmed by famed director Christopher Nolan this very month. Star Cineplex’s official website reveals that films “The Dark Knight” (2008) and “Interstellar” (2014) are scheduled to be screened starting March 19.
