Starz debuted its new series "Black Sails" over the weekend and the results are definitely a mixed bag for the network.

With news breaking every day in Hollywood, a number of stories get overlooked that really should be a bigger deal than reported. This is a look at the top three from last week.

The box office battle this weekend led to another big win by Universal, but a major miss for Lionsgate. Here's a look at how the major studios were affected by this week's noteworthy releases.

This weekend, Starz looks to launch its new original series "Black Sails," but the network has not always had a easy time creating hit shows. Will this one be any different?

After two relative disappointments for horror/fantasy movies, many are questioning if the genre is still as bankable as it used to be. And with more big-budget movies on the horizon, Hollywood has to hope the answer is yes.

With a number of big-name shows exiting the airwaves in 2014 (and early 2015), a number of networks are finding themselves at a crossroads as they try to find their channel's next big thing.

This year's Television Critics Association is almost in the books, but which networks came away with the biggest buzz? And which ones had the biggest missteps?

The NFL has put its Thursday Night Football slate of games up for sale, but which network has the most financial incentive to make a big splash with what will have to be a big bid?

After a long weekend at the box office, Universal came out on top with its one-two punch of "Ride Along" and "Lone Survivor." Among the other studios, Open Road's "The Nut Job" set its own company records, while Paramount's "Jack Ryan" and Fox's "Devil's Due" both failed to impress.

A proposed split by Emmy voters of the Made For TV Movie/Mini-Series category could mean a big windfall for many networks as they all try to find a way to one up perennial winner HBO

This weekend, four movies enter the box office fray including "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit," "Ride Along," 'Devil's Due" and 'The Nut Job." However some studios may have more up for grabs than others and really need to find a hit.

It's been more than a decade since Tom Clancy's iconic character Jack Ryan last top-lined a film, but that will change this weekend when Paramount releases "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit." After so much time away from the big screen, will audiences still be interested?
