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.
ALT Mayor Mamdani attends the match between Morocco and Brazil with some of the New Yorkers who won the World Cup affordable tickets lottery.
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!'"

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 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
