Larry Ellison is suing Warner Bros., demanding they reveal the financial terms of their $83 billion agreement with Netflix. Despite Ellison’s ongoing efforts to challenge the deal, both companies remain committed to the merger. Ellison explained his concerns in a letter to Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders, stating:
It’s safe to say that the show 9-1-1 is facing a difficult time. The controversial decision to remove the character Bobby has disappointed many longtime viewers. While the show’s creators, led by Tim Minear, are trying to move the story forward with the 118 team, it’s been a challenge. Despite recent difficult storylines, there have been some positive developments, and another one is on the way.
As a huge Zelda fan, I’ve been following all the rumors about how Nintendo might celebrate the series’ 40th anniversary, and the one I really wanted to be true was a remake of Ocarina of Time. It’s easily the best Zelda game, and it’s such a classic from the N64 days – the 3DS version in 2011 just proved how amazing it still is. But unfortunately, I just saw a response from a reliable insider, Nate the Hate, on X, and it doesn’t sound like that remake is happening anytime soon. It’s pretty disappointing news!
Madison Prewett recently appeared on the Candace Cameron Bure Podcast to discuss how Christians are depicted in television and her time on The Bachelor Season 24. She shared a story about a conversation with a neurologist and her husband, Grant Troutt, expressing her desire to visually see the changes in her brain after her experiences. Prewett then stated:
The difference between the two films is especially noticeable because the sequel, For Good, had a much stronger opening weekend than the original Wicked. For Good earned $147.0 million domestically on its opening weekend, compared to $112.5 million for Wicked – a roughly 31% increase. However, Wicked proved to have much better staying power in theaters. While For Good earned about 2.3 times its opening weekend in total domestic revenue, Wicked earned 4.2 times its opening weekend. This significant difference usually means fewer repeat viewers, a quicker drop in ticket sales after the holidays, a strong initial boost from dedicated fans, or more competition from other movies released in subsequent weeks.
