A24’s Civil War had a strong $25.7 million opening weekend, the best ever for an A24 picture, per Deadline. Those numbers topped the opening of political thrillers such as Zero Dark Thirty ($24.4M) and World Trade Center ($18.7M) and also marked a career-best for director Alex Garland.
‘The Sims’ movie release date, cast, plot, and more

Say “sul sul!” to your new most-anticipated movie, as beloved gaming franchise The Sims is set to make a cinematic expansion. The zany life simulation game will be adapted into a feature-length film, following suit with recent video game adaptations like Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, and television’s The Last of Us.
Recommended VideosAs confirmed by Variety this week, Margot Robbie will act as producer for the film, with Kate Herron serving as director, having previously directed episodes of Loki and Sex Education, as well as an upcoming episode of The Last of Us season two. Herron is also set to pen the script, co-writing with actress and writer Briony Redman, who she is also working with on an upcoming episode of Doctor Who.
The Sims movie release window
At the very earliest, The Sims movie will not hit theaters until 2025. According to Variety, a studio has not been confirmed for the film’s production as of yet, although Warner Bros. has been cited as an early favorite, thanks to a recent deal with Robbie’s production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. As soon as a studio has closed the deal, a release date will be soon to follow.
The Sims movie cast
So far, no casting has been announced for The Sims movie — which comes as no surprise, as the project has only recently been announced. While Margot Robbie is attached to the project as a producer, that does not necessarily mean she will star in the film, as Robbie has previously produced the films Saltburn, Promising Young Woman, and the Netflix series Maid.
If The Sims bears any similarity to Margot’s recent global hit, Barbie, it is unlikely that Margot would take on a starring role in the film – although perhaps she could swing a cameo as famous townie Summer Holiday?

— m ✰ (@mar3uss) March 21, 2024Although certainly not confirmed, Sims fans are already campaigning for some familiar faces to make an appearance in the live-action film, notably famous Sims YouTubers. Kayla Sims (yes, that is her real name), best known as lilsimsie, is one of the most-followed and watched Sims players on the platform – and is being fan-casted by players more than any Hollywood actor.
Having created builds for Sims expansion packs, as well as helping to raise millions of dollars for charity in her streams, lilsimsie has rightfully made herself a real-life face of the animated games franchise – and what better way to do that than with a cameo as a hidden easter egg, in true Sims fashion? If the adaptation wants to please the game’s fanbase, the film could also include cameos from original Si

After Barbie tackled the patriarchy, Margot Robbie’s Monopoly movie could take a shot at capitalism next
Margot Robbie’s production company LuckyChap, fresh off multiple Academy Award nominations for its blockbuster hit, Barbie, is taking on a new challenge — a film based on the board game Monopoly. The announcement was made Wednesday at CinemaCon. But unlike Barbie, where the climax centered around the toy’s original female creator as embodied by the diminutive Rhea Perlman, the circumstances behind the creation of Monopoly are fraught for an entirely different reason. Will LuckyChap rise to the occasion with another feel-good hit that opens the door to forgotten history, or will it work to further obscure the game’s origins?
