Marvel's raunchy and violent movie 'Deadpool & Wolverine' has set a new record with a $205 million domestic opening, according to Walt Disney. This opening marks the biggest of the year and the highest for an R-rated film, surpassing Pixar's 'Inside Out 2'.
Analysts report that major video game publishers, such as Electronic Arts and Take-Two, are expected to weather the recent strike by voice actors and motion-capture artists. This resilience is attributed to their in-house studios and the lengthy development cycles of their games.
The music world was shocked by a violent incident in the UK. U.S. singer Taylor Swift expressed her horror following the stabbing of three girls and critical wounding of five other children at a dance event in Southport. A 17-year-old male is in custody.
Actor Josh Hartnett discusses his new role as a serial killer in the thriller 'Trap', a challenging departure from his previous work. The film, directed by M. Night Shyamalan, had its London premiere recently, where Hartnett shared insights into his character.
