Peter Dinklage's 2015 sci-fi comedy Pixels is heading to Starz on November 1. The film, which starred Adam Sandler and centered on an alien invasion inspired by video games, earned just 18% on Rotten Tomatoes despite a massive $90 million production budget. It grossed $250 million worldwide, including $78.7 million domestically and $165.2 million internationally, opening in second place behind Marvel's Ant-Man before dropping to fifth in its second weekend. Critics called the film "underwhelming," "tedious," and "half-baked." Dinklage has since moved on to stronger critical reception with the newly released Wicker, a fairytale adaptation co-starring Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Elizabeth Debicki.
