Since Rey Mysterio's face is widely known to the public, why does WWE still treat him losing his mask on TV like a massive, catastrophic deal?

‘SCARY MOVIE 6’ debuts with 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Read our review: bit.ly/ScaryDF6

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The SUPERGIRL box office framing is getting really weird. Deadline says SUPERGIRL cost $175M net and has a $315M global break-even point “before global P&A spend.” That last part is doing a lot of work. Because when THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU had a reported budget around $165M, we kept hearing it needed $500M–$600M worldwide to be in the black once marketing and everything else got factored in. But now SUPERGIRL is somehow being framed around a much cleaner $315M number before global ad spend. Come on. I actually do not think marketing should always be dumped into these public break-even conversations the way people use it online. P&A is deductible, studios account for it differently, and the real math is always messier than “budget times 2.5.” But be consistent. If one movie needs to clear half a billion because marketing exists, then you cannot turn around and pretend another $175M superhero movie only needs $315M before marketing because that sounds better. This feels like Deadline running cover. SUPERGIRL might still be fine. It might leg out. It might find an audience. I genuinely hope it does. But the box office narrative is already being softened before the movie even opens. That usually tells you somebody (James Gunn) is nervous.

The backrooms being something that takes from existing things, doesn't understand any of it, then feeds itself with the same thing over and over until it all starts to become unstable with that yellow tint? You couldn't make a better analogy for ai if you wanted to 😭

Tom Holland would call "Spider-Man" producers from "The Odyssey" set in order to "lay down the law" about filming blockbusters the Christopher Nolan way: “I'd say, ‘We are not going to come to set and figure it out. We need to know why we are making this movie beyond the fact that it’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ and they make loads of money and we’re going to just have a big summer. Why are we making this movie?’ And Destin was super instrumental in that, but it was just really great to constantly be calling up the studio and [producers] Amy [Pascal] and Rachel [O’Connor], who I love, and be like, ‘Well, Chris is doing it this way. This is how I think we should be doing it.’ ” (via GQ) variety.com/2026/film/news/t…
