Half the year is already behind us. We now enter the eighth month of 2022, and the second of part two of the year. But don’t think that the best that cinema had to offer has passed. None of that. For starters, the second semester is the part that holds the most praised premieres of each year, with more serious and adult films, and which almost always end up falling during the awards season. Not only that, the big studios have long seen an advantage in releasing some of their biggest products in the second half of the year. With 2022 it will be no different, as it will bring the premieres of blockbusters such as black adam, Shazam 2, avatar 2 and black panther 2. This, however, is only for the next few months.

The production has a large cast of names such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Joey King, Michael Shannon, Brian Tyree Henry, Logan Lerman, Zazie Beetz, Karen Fukuhara and even Sandra Bullock.
On the same weekend facing heavy competition from Sony’s blockbuster, Brazilian comedians Fábio Porchat and Dani Pepperoni they put “their block on the street”, or rather, “their film in the cinemas”.
