Christina Ricci to Star in Netflix's Addams Family Series WEDNESDAY

Christina Ricci has signed on to star in Netflix's "Wednesday", the live action series created by Al Gough & Miles Millar ("Smallville"), and directed by Tim Burton. Ricci previously played the titular character in the 1990s films "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values". In the streaming series, she will be playing an entirely new character, but details are being kept under wraps.

The eight-episode series is a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams' years as a student at Nevermore Academy. Jenna Ortega ("Scream", "X") will star as Wednesday Addams, who in the new series will be attempting to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at Nevermore.

The cast also includes Catherine Zeta-Jones as Wednesday's mother Morticia Adams, and Luis Guzman as her father Gomez Addams. Thora Birch was set to star in the series, but was forced to exit for personal reasons before completing filming.

Gough, Millar and Burton will also serve as executive producers. Filming on the MGM-produced series is slated to wrap in Romania at the end of the month.

Ricci is also set to return for Season 2 of Showtime's "Yellowjackets"

Weekend Box-Office: JOKER Takes Down MALEFICENT Sequel With $18.9 Million

The comic book origin story "Joker" made a comeback this week, claiming the top spot while Disney's "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil" finished in second place. However, the distance between the two is extremely small, and could end up being switched when the finals come in. Meanwhile, newcomers "Black and Blue" and "Countdown" performed as expected, which isn't particularly impressive.

Weekend Box-Office: Disney's MALEFICENT Sequel Takes Top Spot, But It's a Flop

Disney had a disappointing weekend as their latest live-action film, "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", a sequel to the 2014 reimagining of the studio's 1959 animated film "Sleeping Beauty", managed to bomb, despite topping the charts. Another sequel, the R-rated zombie comedy "Zombieland: Double Tap" performed slightly better than expected, but couldn't take down "Joker", which continues to perform well.

This week in theaters we have two new wide releases. The first is the animated film "The Addams Family", a new adaptation of the comics created by American cartoonist Charles Addams. The film features the voices of Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Snoop Dogg, Bette Midler and more. Its box-office prospects are quite solid, after grossing $1.25 million from previews, and the film is on track to deliver a $30 million debut this weekend from 4,007 theaters.

The second new release is the sci-fi thriller "Gemini Man" from acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee ("Life of Pi", "Brokeback Mountain"). The Will Smith-starrer is also off to a good start, with $1.6 million from Thursday previews, and an estimated $20+ million debut from 3,642 theaters.

Both "The Addams Family" and "Gemini Man" have received a "B+" grade from CinemaScore's opening night polls.

In limited release it might be worth checking out the R-rated comedy "Jexi" from "The Hangover" scribes and "Bad Moms" filmmakers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, and the Netflix flick "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie", in which Aaron Paul reprises the role of Jesse Pinkman from Vince Gilligan's hit AMC series "Breaking Bad".
