Marvel's 'Deadpool & Wolverine' breaks records with $205 million opening. Major video game publishers remain resilient amid voice actor strikes. Taylor Swift responds to tragic UK stabbings. Josh Hartnett discusses his challenging role in 'Trap'.

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.
