The Matrix: Resurrections producers Village Roadshow have sued Warner Bros. for allegedly sabotaging the theatrical release of the film by releasing it on HBO Max on the same day.

After a long two-year wait for fans of the show, Better Call Saul is finally returning this year for its final season, and a new teaser from AMC potentially hints at its premiere date.
