The major studio's demonstration of its upcoming slate was named 'The Big Picture'.

And Melissa was as pretty as a picture for her red carpet turn, in a leopard print dress worn with firetruck red heels by Clergerie.

Tiffany, meanwhile, wore her own full length dress, albeit in a colorful stripe pattern.

The pair are set to star in The Kitchen alongside Elizabeth Moss and Margo Martindale.

According to its synopsis on IMDb, the film deals with 'the wives of New York gangsters in Hell's Kitchen in the 1970s [as they] continue to operate their husbands' rackets after they're locked up in prison.'

The pair are involved in the production of another Warner Bros film slated for release in 2019: Superintelligence.

The comedy -to be directed by Falcone- centers on Melissa's character Carol Peters, whose life 'is turned upside down when she is selected for observation by the world's first superintelligence - a form of artificial intelligence that may or may not take over the world.' 

The couple later took to the stage in elaborate dragon costumes to entertain the crowd and promote their film. 

McCarthy's ensemble was a showstopper with its sparkling red sequins that came complete with a red and gold cape and a green dragon protruding from behind her head.

She added a red headset, matching arm bands and long pointy add-ons to her fingers on her left hand.

Falcone looked creature-like in a black sequined costume that had dark green scales and frontal armor.

Melissa has been married to Ben since 2005.

They first met when they were at the famous improvisation theater, The Groundlings in Los Angeles.

'We immediately were improvising with each other and immediately gravitating toward each other, writing-wise,' Melissa recalled.

They she talked about one of their early skits, 'The first day, everybody’s doing their biggest, probably most unrealistic, poorly done characters. And Ben got up there and did this very strange inmate that sat on a chair quietly. I just thought it was the funniest thing. I thought: I like that creepy guy.'

The two went on to get married and even perform in the hit movie, Bridesmaids together in 2011. 

Long term: Melissa has been married to Ben since 2005
