Warning: This article contains spoilers for “Now You See Me.”

“Now You See Me” had a fairly respectable opening weekend at the box office. The “Las Vegas magicians pull off some bank heists” movie scrounged up $28.2 million for the No. 2 spot (behind, naturally, “Fast & Furious 6,” because cars are cooler than magicians, you guys). It’s not surprising – people love to be fooled by “magic,” and they also like bank heist movies, so “Now You See Me” seemed like the perfect combination.

The thing about “Now You See Me” is that it’s a fun popcorn movie that is completely enjoyable – as long as you don’t think too hard about the ending. Or, really, as long as you don’t think about it at all.

Once you do start thinking about it, though, there are a few questions that might come up.

Who are the main characters of this movie? At first it seems like Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fischer, and Dave Franco are the leads, but then they’re off screen for, like, half an hour while Mark Ruffalo and French Lady are on a wild goose chase.

Do you remember the last time you went to the cinema and your movie started at the precise time listed on your ticket?

It almost never happens that way anymore. Modern moviegoers sometimes have to sit through more than 20 minutes worth of advertisements and coming attractions before their feature presentation begins. And apparently the U.S.-based National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) is getting tired of hearing audiences complain about those commercials and lengthy, spoiler-filled trailers causing delays... Despite the fact that they're the ones playing said trailers and ads.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, NATO recently proposed some new marketing guidelines that would limit movie trailers to just two minutes in length. The previous time limit for trailers was

If you’re an up-and-coming filmmaker with a particular skill set – like Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg, the Norwegian directing team behind the Oscar-nominated “Kon-Tiki” – then you can be sure that Hollywood will put those skills to good use.

Rønning and Sandberg recently beat out the likes of Rupert Sanders (“Snow White and The Huntsman”) and Fredrik Bond (“The Necessary Death Of Charlie Countryman”) for the choice job of helming Disney’s upcoming “Pirates of the Caribbean 5.”

So, what gave this mostly unknown Scandinavian directing duo the advantage over more established quantities like Sanders and Bond?

Apparently it was their familiarity with filming in ocean environments that won the trust of “Pirates” producer Jerry Bruckheimer. “Kon-Tiki,” the Best Foreign Language Film nominee that brought Rønning and Sandberg to the attention of Hollywood, chronicled the incredible true story of explorer Thor Heyerdal's 1947 crossing of the

Remember when a twist ending meant something in Hollywood?

Movie twists were once a seldom used plot device that would send movie characters and audiences reeling, but over time, they steadily became an overused shock tactic used by films that really didn’t have much else to offer. When most people think of twist ending these days, one name usually comes to mind: “After Earth” director M. Night Shyamalan.

"Grumpy Cat" just got a movie deal.

Hilarious and adorable felines are a staple of any good Internet diet. If you go a day online without seeing cute cat or kitten of some kind, you might be doing it wrong. Given the undeniable popularity of cat memes and viral video kitties like Maru and Lil Bub, is it any wonder that Hollywood is finally trying to get in on the act?

In what is sure to be both squee-inducing news to some and a soul-crushing disappointment to others, Deadline is reporting that permanently perturbed internet sensation Grumpy Cat recently secured a movie deal.

Actor Henry Cavill has been a promising Hollywood prospect for a few years now, but the “Immortals” star hasn’t truly broken out quite yet. That’s all going to change very soon, it seems.

The 30-year-old Brit actor’s star is set to explode once director Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel” hits theatres on June 14. Playing one of the most iconic superheroes of all time in a $200-million movie adaptation will do that for a career in Hollywood.

With his fortunes on the rise, the cinematic Superman is wasting no time lining up future projects, and in true superhero fashion Cavill is taking a "go big or go home" approach. According to Variety, Warner Bros. is looking at Cavill to replace megastar Tom Cruise in “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” a long-gestating spy movie from “Sherlock Holmes” director Guy Ritchie. Based on the '60s television show of the same name about an American/Russian spy team, the film would follow the missions of the international espionage/law enforcement agency U.N.C.L.E. The popular TV series spawned comic books, novels, and a total of eight feature films.

After dancing around the project for years, Cruise exited the project suddenly last week. Scheduling conflicts with the untitled “Mission: Impossible 5” were the official reason given by WB. However, many assume the actor more likely dropped out of “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” because of its many similarities to the “Mission: Impossible”

When he’s not destroying cherished childhood memories by producing a much-maligned “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” reboot, bombastic director Michael Bay enjoys running another beloved 1980s cartoon/toy franchise into the ground: “Transformers.’

After a few years' absence, Bay is getting back into the giant transforming robot alien game with a still-untitled follow-up to 2011’s “Transformers: Dark of the Moon.” The fourth film in the big budget series, the movie is itself a reboot of sorts, featuring an all new cast (including Bay’s “Pain & Gain” star Mark Wahlberg, as well as Jack Reynor, Stanley Tucci, Nicola Peltz, and Kelsey Grammer) and a slew of new Autobots and Decepticons. Gotta sell more toys, right?

But “Transformers” fans need not worry (at least not any more than they currently are). Bay himself revealed that at least one fan favourite bot will be returning for the upcoming “Transformers 4.” According to the director's official blog, tried-and-tested Autobot leader Optimus Prime is back for a fourth big screen outing, this time appearing as a flashy, custom built Western Star big rig -- replete with the fan-confounding flame decals that Bay insists on giving the cinematic version of the big bot. Apparently the "Transformers" franchise is still very much about selling cars and trucks, too!
