Movie Embed — 5 Alternatives

Same Mortal Kombat II example shown in each. For comparison, the current embed is at the top.

Current (for reference)

Mortal Kombat II$40–55M
Warner Bros. · R · Opening Weekend · May 8

Option 1 — Roomy pill with a divided gross rail

Same basic shape, but poster scales up to 72×108, padding doubles, and the gross sits in its own right-hand column with its own label. Most conservative upgrade — drop-in replacement.

Projection

Option 2 — Poster column + split stat footer

Full-bleed poster on the left (no padding gap), body divided into a headline section and a stat footer that can carry multiple numbers side by side — good for pairing opening weekend with final-domestic projection.

Option 3 — Cinematic backdrop hero

Full-width backdrop (uses the poster as fallback if no backdrop exists), poster floats on the left, gross lives in a pill-shaped chip. Most "magazine-y" option, matches the site hero aesthetic. Better as a single feature card than stacked multiple times.

Option 4 — Dual-metric card (opening + final)

Answers the "add final domestic too" request directly. Two metric tiles sit below the title, each clearly labelled. Good for preview articles where you want both the opening-weekend number and the projected final.

Option 5 — Vertical card grid (two-up)

Breaks out of the horizontal-pill mold entirely. Landscape poster/backdrop crop at top, title and gross chip below. Grids naturally at 2-up on desktop, 1-up on mobile. Best when covering several films in one block (e.g. "openers this weekend").

Recommendation: Option 1 for a drop-in upgrade, Option 4 when we want to show opening + final (which is what we need for the May preview and all future long-range previews), Option 3 for standout features at the top of an article, Option 5 for recap/preview grids showing many films at once. Option 2 is the best middle ground if we only want to pick one.
