German distributor and world sales company Kinostar has acquired Polish filmmaker Maria Sadowska’s erotic thriller “Temptation.”
Based on the bestselling novel by Edyta Folwarska, “Temptation” tells the story of young journalist Inez, whose assignment to cover soccer star Maks Wygoda leads her onto a dangerous journey.

A Night at the Kindergarten (Noc w przedszkolu) is a movie directed by Rafal Skalski starring Piotr Witkowski and Lena Gora.
It is still Christmas, and this time around a hero – who knows how to rap, parent despite not being a father, and pull off some MacGyver moves – is here to save it.
Premise
The kindergarten parent teacher meeting/dress rehearsal of the nativity play turns into a judgment over the naughty 5-year-old, defended by the boy’s mother’s partner. Initially driven by selfish motives, the man begins to mature into the role of a father during the trial.
Movie Review
A Night at the Kindergarten is theatrical in its setting, and manages at times to step outside the scene showcasing situations that go beyond its genre. The movie manages to a certain extent to hit the mark, with the development of the characters and the story.

“Black Adam” (Warner Bros. Discovery/19.99) swept the #1 positions on all VOD charts this week. The Dwayne Johnson-starring DC Comics hit (still #6 in theaters over the weekend) is the fall’s second 100 million+ domestic release to reach home availability. The other is “Smile” (Paramount/19.99). Now in its second week, it fell from #1 to #6 at Vudu (which ranks by revenue), is #10 at Google Play, and not listed at all at iTunes (both calculate by transactions).
The difference: “Black Adam” is not streaming on HBO Max. “Smile” is on Paramount +.
We’ve seen some past releases thrive with that parallel play, but studios are beginning to realize the gold in the PVOD hills justifies delaying streaming for subscribers. Hit films boosts subscriptions, but they don’t offer the immediate rush of a lengthy VOD run. It also suggests consumers are beginning to catch on — how many people have rented a VOD...
