Obsession has now made more 10 times its $17.2M opening weekend. The last time a wide release outside of December achieved that was The Sixth Sense in 1999.
Focus' Obsession grossed an estimated $6.20M on Friday (from 3,068 locations), which was a 17% decrease from the previous Friday. Estimated total domestic gross stands at $175.58M. #Obsession #ObsessionMovie #BoxOffice

1,000 New Yorkers won our lottery for affordable tickets to the World Cup. Today, we celebrated in the stands for the first NY/NJ game of the tournament. The beautiful game belongs to everyone.

This is honestly getting ridiculous. Like, in the best of ways. Legendary run for OBSESSION. FIFTH WEEKEND is HIGHER THAN THE FIRST WEEKEND. This simply does not happen. Will be a long while before it happens again!
You people are f*cking obsessed! OBSESSION is on track for another $20M weekend in its 5th week of release—$190M total. Curb-smashing the box office. Again.

Anna Faris says Keenen Wayans asked her not to return for “Scary Movie 3” after the Wayanses were kicked off the franchise: "In 2002, that was the last time I’d talked to Keenen. He had called me and said that the franchise had been taken away from them, and he asked me to not do it. It was such a devastating moment in the sense that I admired Keenen so much, and he was asking me to do something, but I was under contract. He said, 'All they can do is sue you!' and I’m thinking, 'I’m living in a one-bedroom apartment by the farmer’s market!'" wp.me/pc8uak-1lHp1q

This will be the 4th weekend in a row with a movie opening above $40M, only the second such streak this decade after May-June 2023. With Toy Story 5, Supergirl, Minions 3, Moana, and Odyssey all ahead, we should end up with nine weekends of $40M openers in a row (a new record).
Disclosure Day earned an estimated $19.02M on Friday from 3,824 domestic locations and is projected to gross $44M in its opening weekend. the-numbers.com/movie/Disclo… #disclosureday #stevenspielberg #emilyblunt #boxoffice

it's because, contra his detractors, spielberg's earnestness is frequently undercut with irony, the knowing adult looking back grimly at what becomes of childish fantasy
trying to unpack why I love it when Shyamalan goes earnest corny hopecore and rejected it when Spielberg did it

I’m not saying the Trump administration is stalling, but left is how his name was added, and right is how it’s being removed.

Disclosure Day lands the second-lowest CinemaScore ever for Spielberg, tying Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and ahead of only A.I. (C ), and a smidge ahead of the B his other divisive releases of the '00s received. His complete CinemaScore history:

Glad to see Vanity Fair backing its reporter with this one and shame on Unwell Network for trying to belittle a young reporter into dropping a story. This alone is pretty telling.
Vanity Fair has spoken to more than 40 sources, at least 30 of whom are current or former Unwell employees—most of them women in their 20s—about their experiences with Alex Cooper and her husband, Matt Kaplan, the company’s cofounder and co-CEO. Where's the line between feminism for uplifting the next generation of women and feminism weaponized to insulate oneself at the top? And what does it mean when ultimately a man appears to be in charge of it all? vanityfair.visitlink.me/anvB…

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…
