Plummer became a movie star at age 36 playing Captain Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music.”...

Sony Pictures released a film starring Peter Fonda this week, even after the actor went on an unhinged, sexist, disturbing rant against President Trump’s family and members of his administration. The film bombed at the box office as audiences and critics alike gave it a thumbs down. The film, “Boundaries,” starring Fonda in a supporting role earned just over $30,000 since it’s release. After it made headlines in Hollywood for the wrong reasons, Sony Pictures Classics’ “Boundaries” is off to a tepid start at the indie box office, as it opened on five screens this weekend. Directed by Shana Feste...
