Gregg Kilday, Dec. 16, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter

Carmike's headquarters are in Columbus, Ga. It operates 278 theaters and 2,917 screens in 41 states.

The situation throughout the day was very fluid: Neither the National Association of Theatre Owners nor the individual national theaters chains have yet publicly spoken about the situation. But according to some insiders, exhibitors are wary of becoming liable if they show the movie and any violence occurs.

THR: Hollywood Sex Abuse Film Revealed: Explosive Claims, New Figures Named (Exclusive)

Gregg Kilday, Nov. 12, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter

The spotlight again will be trained on the alleged sexual abuse of minors by powerful Hollywood players when Amy Berg's disturbing new documentary, An Open Secret, debuts at the DOC NYC film festival in New York on Nov. 14.

The documentary, which paints a broad picture of sexual exploitation in the entertainment industry, does not revisit the specific allegations in Egan's lawsuits, nor does it characterize the men Egan sued as predators. But in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Berg defends her choice to include them, saying, "The question is, if you are an adult at one of these parties where so much is going on out in the open, what is your responsibility?" She admits, "I don't know the ins and outs of the various suits," but she is convinced of Egan's general credibility.

Oscars: Where Are All The Best Actress Contenders?

Gregg Kilday, Nov. 6, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter

When the Academy Award nominations are announced Jan. 15, one thing is sure: There will be five best actor nominees, five best actress nominees and another five men and five women anointed in each of the supporting categories, all neatly listed in their respective columns. The suggestion will be that when it comes to the year's best movies, gender equality reigns. And, like lots of things in Hollywood, that will be an illusion.

For as awards season gets underway, the handicappers already are lamenting the fact that there are far too many deserving men trying to squeeze into the best actor category. Awards blogger Pete Hammond of Deadline.com even seriously floated the idea that the Academy should quickly introduce a rule change to allow for a whopping 10 best actor nominees. (Good luck on that one.)
