New Edition put on a six-concert residency at Las Vegas’ Encore Theatre at Wynn.Turns out that wasn’t enough for the NE Family.Near the end of their brief stint, the legendary group announced onstage that they were adding six more summer dates at the 1,480-seat venue.And, after four long months of waiting, Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph and Johnny are finally returning to the Encore Theatre. From July 3-13, the quintet will bring “Candy Girl,” “Can You Stand The Rain” and many, many more timeless R&B classics to the stage.If you want to be there to get down with them all over again, it isn’t too late to scoop up last-minute tickets.At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for the six July shows was $85 before fees on Vivid Seats.Other shows start anywhere from $107 to $173 before fees.All things considered, that’s not bad for Vegas especially considering Ronnie DeVoe told the New York Post that the group “(brings) the same energy (they) sang the (songs) with back in the day.”Should those dates not work, New Edition will venture back to Sin City yet again from Oct.

just as joyous for “Inside Out 2.”The Pixar sequel collected $100 million in ticket sales in its second weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, setting a new record for an animated movie in its follow-up frame in theaters.The previous best second weekend for an animated title was the $92 million for “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” Only six movies ever have had better second weekends.In just a week and a half, “Inside Out 2” has become 2024’s highest-grossing film to date with $724.4 million globally, including $355.2 million in US and Canadian theaters.That passes the $711.8 million worldwide total of “Dune: Part Two.” “Inside Out 2” will likely blow through the $1 billion mark in about a week, which would make it the first film since “Barbie” to do so.The extent of the “Inside Out 2” success startled Hollywood, which had grown accustomed to lower expectations as the film industry watched ticket sales this year slump about 40% below pre-pandemic totals, according to data firm Comscore, before “Inside Out 2” came along.The record haul for “Inside Out 2,” though, recalled past years when $1 billion grosses were more commonplace for the Walt Disney Co.It is also a much-needed blockbuster for Pixar, which after experimenting with direct-to-streaming releases, reconsidered its movie pipeline and approach to mass-audience appeal.Now, “Inside Out 2,” which dipped a mere 35% from its $154 million domestic debut, is poised to challenge “The Incredibles 2” ($1.2 billion) for the all-time top grossing Pixar release.It could also steer the venerated animation factory toward more sequels.
