Kodansha and Production IG are producing a new Ghost in the Shell animated film.

This week’s top home entertainment releases are Hidden Figures and Lion , and there are a few other delights including the hard science Nat Geo miniseries Mars and TV series that deftly satirize the tech economy ( Silicon Valley ) and our political system ( Veep ).

The movie box office took a bit of a break before the impending release of the certified blockbuster Fast and Furious 8 , Dreamworks Animation’s animated holdover Boss Baby easily demolished its direct competition.

Longtime Production IG executive Maki Terashima-Furuta has been promoted to President of Production of Production IG USA, the company announced.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story dominates this week’s home entertainment releases like it ruled the box office, but there are a few other offerings of interest including the raunchy, star-studded, R-rated comedy Office Christmas Party , a strong new film from Jim Jarmusch, plus Blu-ray editions of some 1990s anime classics including Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 , and Martian Successor Nadesico.

Dreamworks Animation’s animated Boss Baby narrowly edged out Disney’s massive hit Beauty & the Beast to grab the weekend box office crown with an estimated $49 million, while the Scarlett Johansson-starring live-action adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s manga Ghost in the Shell opened way below expectations.
