'Wicked For Good' Smashes With $151 Million Opening At The Box Office Jon M. Chu's earned the second biggest three-day opening of 2025 with a massive $151 million at the box office

Wicked For Good had the second biggest 3-day opening of the year, earning $150 million in the U.S. and $226 million worldwide. A massive win for Universal and theater owners with Zootopia 2 dropping on Wednesday

I’ve sat on A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE for a bit, and no, I don’t think it works. The same tale told from three POVs, none of which do much (if anything) to illuminate each other.

I'm not really open about this but I am on SNAP. Journalism is a full-time job for me, be it entertainment, news and political commentary, or writing about baseball. I also freelance for another entertainment outlet. But all of these jobs combined are still not enough to get by.

If only the cable newsers would ease up on the pundit battles and invest in more field reporters to try to ask the powerful (execs, D.C. swampers, the oddly pardoned) tough questions..."in the interest of getting something important." www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDyt...

From Peacemaker to Jimmy Kimmel: Can Hollywood band together to preserve democracy? As efforts to intimidate and eliminate Trump critics in media continues, is Hollywood showing that banding together is key to survival?

Some convoluted thoughts on how a mind-bending twist on HBO Max’s Peacemaker and late night TV hosts banding together might point the way to resisting America’s growing authoritarianism. https://loom.ly/2PdbkY4

Had a silly time with @claudioalvesdc.bsky.social discussing how The House of the Spirits whitewashes Isabel Allende's novel, the film's lack of authenticity, the epic actressing event of seeing Glenn Close and Meryl Streep share the screen together, and so much more! Give it a listen!
