Last month actor Jonathan Majors was dropped from the Dennis Rodman movie after his conviction on domestic violence charges [click here if you missed that].
Now Majors' critically acclaimed bodybuilding movie, 'Magazine Dreams' has also been dropped...
Jonathan Majors‘ Magazine Dreams is officially back on the market. Nearly a year after Searchlight Pictures acquired the body-building drama, the specialty arm of Walt Disney Studios has quietly returned rights of the movie to the filmmakers, who will now shop it to other buyers.
The move comes mere weeks after Majors was convicted of assault and harassment, stemming from an incident involving his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari. Searchlight delivered the news to the Magazine Dreams team late last week that it would not be releasing the film, according to sources.
Magazine Dreams debuted to fanfare last January at Sundance, where Majors’ performance as amateur body builder Killian Maddox earned him rave reviews and early awards buzz. The film’s director, Elijah Bynum, was hailed as the next big director.
Searchlight bought the film for what sources say was around $2 million in February 2023. It was mapping out a late-year awards season campaign. A month later, however, Majors was arrested in New York, putting the fate of the film up in the air.
Searchlight officially removed it from its release calendar in October, ahead of Majors’ trial. The actor awaits sentencing Feb. 6. He has already faced career fallout stemming from his arrest and conviction, with Marvel Studios firing him as villain Kang the Conqueror. Last week, Lionsgate dropped the Dennis Rodman feature 48 Hours in Vegas, with that project now looking for a new star and a new home.

All this for chasing after some YT woman and then getting chased down by YT woman.
^^^^Do You really think it was that simple? He was convicted because he put his hands on her and because she presented tapes demonstrating a history of abuse. The fact that she was white was irrelevant. Actually we Black women should be happy he only was only involved with white women. They can have him.
@Shrugs
He had a big mouth and told white folks what they can and cannot do. They couldn't wait to end his career and he walked right into a trap. What a dummy. He better start selling his movies on tubi and go teach acting in some HBCU. His career is over because they want it to be.
Pride is always before the fall. Be humble.
too bad he's a mentally ill loser who cannot control his emotions or relationships with dignity like other human beings. no sympathy for him . at all
While this sucks for him I’m not celebrating his downfall. What you put out usually comes back 10 times harder. So while all of you are gloating at his downfall just be mindful of your own discretion and don’t play dumb as to why you’re experiencing bad things in your life. Black women who are mad about a black man being with white women are miserable and can’t figure out why they can’t attract a good black man. All you get are dusties and those who live off of you. To the bitches who claim they are happily married on a gossip site spewing hatred towards others we know you’re miserable.
The hits just keep on coming.
Nate Parker and that guy from The Chi finally have company in the "Almost made it but I fked it up" Hall of Shame lol
Isaiah Washington too
LOL @A Good Black Man LOL
I Forgot My Comment LOL
Black folks cannot afford to step out of line and get the big head when you're in a hit show. Ppl (YT"S) at the top have always canceled us when that happens.
@5:26. Exactly. Thank goodness all Black actors aren’t as arrogant as this one. He thought he was above it all. We all need to watch our steps because ain’t none of us above being taken down by YT. That’s the lesson to be learned.
If he was white I highly doubt he would hv lost everything like this.
^ I agree 7:59, or he would bounce back with flying colors. Does he have to serve jail time?
It's tragic Black Men continue to think a Yt woman is the answers to their life.
Y’all keep yapping about being scared of Yt. What’s wrong with y’all? “Massa gonna get me if I do what I want and not what he wants me too. I best stay in line”. You people can’t be ADOS/FBA
I agree 421 scared of yt and wonder why they do not get any respect and snitch want these type of people on this website
1223 nigga I’m on your ass with that hate black men stuff. Nigga that’s what the fuck you NOT going to do so I’m glad you forgot your comment nigga it wasn’t needed anyway. I don’t know if it’s snitch but I’ll cuss your ass out just like I do snitch. I see that ole writing style you have so I can identify you. Nigga go jump off a bridge! Bye trash for 2024
Does anyone here work in Hollywood? I have a few questions!
It says the movie's rights was bought for 2 million. Are the filmmakers required to pay back the amount? If so, does it have to be paid back in full and at once, or can it be repaid in installments? Who is responsible for paying that amount back to the studio? If the amount was shared amongst a group of producers, and o ly a couple could pay back their share and the others couldn't, can the entire group face legal issues?
