Even with Kristen Stewart leading the cast and Elizabeth Banks behind the camera, 2019’s “Charlie’s Angels” reboot endured a rough run at the box office, earning a paltry $73 million worldwide.

series of posts on X, the app formerly known as Twitter, Blaire Erskine, a staff writer for “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” recalled how, at first, some guests initially found he sounds funny — but soon let their annoyance be known.“Finally went to see ‘Barbie’ last night and the girls in front of me did this the whole movie lmao,” wrote the comedian alongside a video.

As many predicted, Greta Gerwig‘s “Barbie” cleaned up at the box office this past weekend, with the film sitting just under $500 million worldwide.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Unless you’ve been trapped in a plastic toy box, there’s no escaping the Barbie-core movement that’s sweeping the globe — and potentially contributing a nationwide shortage of the color pink. The marketing department at Warner Bros. has been working in overdrive to entice the masses for Greta Gerwig’s cotton candy-colored fantasy “Barbie,” which has been all but inescapable this summer. A key factor has been a dizzying array of partnerships with products that range from a bright fuchsia Xbox (for STEM Barbie) to this $1,350 Balmain cropped hoodie (for Disposable Income Barbie). And that’s only scratching the surface of the brands that helped propel the movie to cultural touchstone status before arriving in theaters on July 21.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director James Cameron has no intention of using artificial intelligence to write a film script. In a new interview with CTV News, the Oscar winner expressed doubt over AI bots being able to write “a good story.” According to Cameron: “I just don’t personally believe that a disembodied mind that’s just regurgitating what other embodied minds have said — about the life that they’ve had, about love, about lying, about fear, about mortality — and just put it all together into a word salad and then regurgitate it…I don’t believe that’s ever going to have something that’s going to move an audience. You have to be human to write that. I don’t know anyone that’s even thinking about having AI write a screenplay.”

The advent of streaming has dramatically shifted how audiences consume entertainment and streaming platforms such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video are generating more titles than ever before. This increase in market size has seen a collective decline in pay for writers during a time when the cost of living is increasing. Like the writers' strike, one of the main concerns of Hollywood's acting strike is the payment of residuals in the age of streaming and the union is demanding residuals to be partly based on viewership levels on streaming services.
