From Creator Michael Schur comes the unique new comedy The Good Place, starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson. Coming soon to NBC!

From Michael Schur, executive producer of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Parks and Recreation," comes a smart, unique new comedy that follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell, "House of Lies," "Veronica Mars"), an ordinary woman who, through an extraordinary string of events, enters the afterlife where she comes to realize that she hasn't been a very good person. With the help of her wise afterlife mentor (Ted Danson, "Bored to Death," "Cheers"), she's determined to shed her old way of living and discover the awesome (or at least the pretty good) person within.

Looks like fun, plus I'll watch anything with Ted Danson that isn't a Procedural.

From Eric Kripke and the producers of The Blacklist comes a thrilling new action-adventure series. Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter and Malcolm Barrett star as a team chasing a criminal intent on destroying America through time. Coming soon to NBC.

From Eric Kripke ("Revolution," "Supernatural"), Shawn Ryan ("The Shield") and the producers of "The Blacklist" comes this thrilling action-adventure series in which a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, a soldier and a history professor, who must use the machine's prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. But can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it's too late?

Count me in for this show, it look really promising.

​Rovio's The Angry Birds Movie won't arrive in the U.S. until next weekend, but it launched this weekend in 74 international markets with $43 million.

The figure represents a little less than two-thirds of its global footprint. The movie, directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly, opened in first place in about half of its markets, with Russian moviegoers delivering the biggest share with $5.7 million.

While the film was produced by Sony Pictures Imageworks and is being distributed by Sony, the bulk of the investment came from Finnish game maker Rovio, which has bet its future on the success of this film. It's still too early to tell if Rovio's gamble will pay off based on these first weekend numbers.

Along with its U.S. release, The Angry Birds Movie opens in China and South Korea next weekend.

Disney's The Jungle Book passed $800m in global gross, making it the fifth-highest-grossing live-action film the studio has released.
