It’s the same story everywhere. Anton Yelchin, 27, and one of the bright promising lights of Hollywood’s future, is dead. He died apparently in a freak home accident, getting pinned between his running car and his mailbox. You don’t even know what to say.

Tributes are pouring in. I met Anton and interviewed him for the very good Drake Doremus movie “Like Crazy.” He co-starred with Felicity Jones and seemed wise beyond his years– and this was five years ago, he was only 22. As the new young Chekov in “Star Trek” he was a huge sensation, and had so much potential. Condolences to his family and friends. Tragic.

Yikes.

“Warcraft,” a massive hit in China, is a disaster at the US box office.

Duncan Jones did his best to make a movie out of a video game. But the movie has made just $31 million though Thursday. Now reports indicate that last night the entertainment made just $1.9 million. A $6 mil weekend is hoped for.

The budget was $160 million. Luckily, “Warcraft” made all of that money back in China. The Chinese aren’t that picky about plot, characters etc.

But Americans are. And “Warcraft” would be a total loss for Legendary Pictures, which financed the film and released it through Universal. Legendary may be legendary just for this episode alone. So far, Legendary is up one big one with “Jurassic World” but carrying a lot of dead weight movies. Next year they start up with a bunch of “King Kong” and “Godzilla” movies. The first one stars Brie Larson and Tom Hiddleston.

“Independence Day: Resurgence” is not on the cover this week’s Entertainment Weekly, which just landed.

The stars of “Resurgence” are not all over the TV, appearing on “Ellen” or the “Tonight Show” or “Jimmy Kimmel,” showing clips.

In fact, there is dead silence surrounding the hugely expensive, highly anticipated sequel to the massive 1996 Roland Emmerich hit “Independence Day.”

That movie was released on July 3, 1996 to tie in with the actual Independence Day– July 4th weekend. This one is set for June 24th, very specifically NOT that tie in.

There have been no advance screenings, no press. There’s no press junket this weekend. My junketeer friends have received no information. There’s some kind of premiere on Monday in Los Angeles next week, a couple of days before the opening night in theaters. But nothing else is set for New York at all, and that is a bad bad sign.

But the cast did sneak into New York last week for stealth publicity: they rang the opening bell at the New York stock Exchange. They appeared in an AOL Build Speaker series, whatever that is. They were on Sirius XM Radio. On Friday, there was a premiere in Mexico City.

Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but “IDR” is coming. The cast must be wondering what’s going on. Or they know.

Maybe it’s a huge $200 million flop. But Fox should have counted on the good will of fans who’ve waited 20 years (like me) to see what happened. Alas, this much we do know: Will Smith passed on the script. Randy Quaid is MIA. Margaret Colin and Mary McDonnell didn’t return. Robert Loggia and James Rebhorn couldn’t return– they’re deceased. There’s a Hemsworth involved.

Fox is just coming off a disappointment with the latest “X Men” movie, which made $100 million less than the prior one domestically. Studio chief Jim Gianopolous is out the door and replaced by Stacey Snider (who should do great things). So if “IDR” is really really not good, they are downplaying it. But my guess is Gianopolous’s exit news, which came this week, is tied to “IDR” and its box office fate.

Or maybe it’s really really great– and we will all be pleasantly surprised. But there are also eleven — 11– writer credits. Five of them are for the screenplay!

PS What did Will Smith know that we didn’t know? The studio shot of Jeff Goldblum and Liam Hemsworth in space suits is worrisome. If they go into space to fight the aliens, the whole “ID4” vibe is altered. Of course, Will is no expert on space movies, as we know.
