Spider-Man: Brand New Day is soaring to new heights day after day.

The latest Tom Holland and Zendaya-helmed Spider-Man installment collected $144.5 million at the domestic box office in its second weekend.

As Variety points out, only Toy Story 5 brought in that much this year in a single weekend – and that was its opening weekend at $159 million.

As a result, Brand New Day has now climbed to become the third biggest second weekend in domestic box office history, just behind 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($149 million) and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame ($147 million).

There are only eight movies that even passed the $100 million mark in its second weekend.

As of right now, the movie has brought in $1.67 billion globally in less than two full weeks at theaters, and may become the first movie ever to get to $3 billion at the global box office.

2009’s Avatar currently holds the worldwide record with $2.9 billion.

What is the new Spider-Man movie about?

Here’s the official synopsis:

It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Find out what critics are saying about the movie, and see what Tom said about a potential fifth Spidey movie.

Cristiano Ronaldo is responding to a major mix-up.

Over the weekend, thousands of people mistakenly thought that the 41-year-old Portuguese soccer star was tying the knot with longtime love Georgina Rodriguez on Saturday (August 8) on the island of Madeira, where he was born.

In pictures and videos that have since gone viral, thousands of attendees in his soccer gear could be seen swarming Funchal Cathedral amid rampant rumors that Cristiano‘s wedding ceremony was being held within the building under a fake name.

As it turns out, it wasn’t Cristiano and Georgina, but rather Madeira-bred French couple Fabio Ramos and Fatima Nicole Cunha Teixeira, who had to “fight their way into the venue,” per NDTV.

The soccer star’s sister Katia Aveiro reportedly fueled speculation by posting her arrival in Madeira for a “party,” per the outlet.

In response to a news report from the @jm_madeira account on Instagram, Cristiano left five crying laughing emojis.

Cristiano and Georgina got engaged in 2025, and he reportedly has said he plans to marry after the World Cup.

The two are parents to daughters Alana, 8, and Bella, 4. Cristiano previously welcomed twins Eva and Mateo, 8, and Cristiano Jr., 14. One of their children, a baby boy, tragically passed away during childbirth in 2022.

They sparked marriage rumors the year before their engagement when he called her his “wife.”

House of the Dragon is back with an all-new episode tonight (August 9) on HBO Max.

Tonight’s episode is Season 3, Episode 8, and fans may not realize…tonight is the season finale.

Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the Game of Thrones prequel co-created by George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal, which is set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, tells the story of House Targaryen.

What will happen on tonight’s episode of House of the Dragon?

It is largely believed that the season three finale of House of the Dragon will deal with the famed Battle of Tumbleton tonight.

In the GoT lore, there are actually two separate “Battle of Tumbleton” events. It’s unclear if the show will show just one or both, but given the scale, many fans think we’ll only see one.

Spoilers from the book! In the George R.R. Martin epic, the First Battle of Tumbleton was a brutal turning point in the Dance of the Dragons, as the Greens overcame fierce resistance and captured the strategically important town. The battle became infamous when the dragonriders Hugh Hammer and Ulf White betrayed Rhaenyra, unleashing Vermithor and Silverwing and helping turn Tumbleton into a scene of devastating destruction.

Is House of the Dragon renewed for season four? What we know about the show’s future

House of the Dragon was officially renewed for a fourth season by HBO Max, and it will be the show’s last season on the air. Given this information, we now know that we will officially wrap up the Targaryen civil war arc soon.

The final season is expected to air in 2028.

Which actors are returning for season four of House of the Dragon?

Several core characters are killed in the battles coming up, and we will have to wait and see if there are any changes made from the books.

Kelly Clarkson isn’t holding back.

The 44-year-old “Miss Independent” superstar entertained the crowd on Saturday night (August 8) with stories about her life during her Studio Sessions residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

During the performance, Kelly revealed she had to break up with someone from her past “twice.”

“I swear to God, I’ve had to break up with someone twice. That’s a real story. That’s true,” she began while introducing her new song “I’d Be Lyin’.”

“And it was hard both times. You feel like a piece of s–t both times, P.S. And I looked at this person and they were like, ‘What do you mean?’ I was like, ‘What do you mean? We were there. We were both there. What the f–k did you hear? Like, it was already hard enough on both of us. Why are we doing it again? Like, it’s crazy.'”

“That happens, you know? You say something and people filter that s–t and they hear what they want to hear. And it is crazy. So I ended up writing this song. I was like, this is about to— we need a song for this. Anyway, the verse is more or less like what they hear,” she went on to say.

Kelly also talked about navigating unhealthy relationships while introducing “Piece by Piece.”

“It’s a reality for a lot of us. A lot of us…deserved better, and that’s a tough thing to grow up with…it’s a tough thing to find healthy relationships when you’ve never been shown one. But those are all excuses. I learned that in therapy,” Kelly said.

She also addressed her “no a–holes allowed” policy, and even hilariously spoke about her “perfect” boobs while addressing the Lion’s Gate portal.

During the Lion’s Gate Portal on August 8, there is a perfect alignment between the sun, Earth and Sirius, and “Ancient Egyptians believed that this brought on prophecies and visions which could help them live prosperously and abundantly,” per People.

“There’s a lot of amazing things happening. Uh oh, there’s my boobs,” she said at one point.

“They’re too small, they won’t come out…they’re perfect! But I just mean they’re not going anywhere. They’re perfect,” she laughed.

“Somebody was like, it’s the Lion’s Gate Portal. It’s 888. There’s so much energy out. Don’t speak negatively. So right when I made a self-deprecating joke, I’m like, just kidding, universe, my boobs are awesome…I got texts all last night like, ‘hey, tomorrow…don’t gossip, don’t speak ill of anyone or yourself, and put things out there that you want.’ And I was like, should we be doing this s–t every day?”

“I don’t know if it should just be tomorrow, you You know what I’m saying? I feel like this should be a life thing, right? But it’s in my head, so as soon as I like self-deprecation, I was like, ‘Just kidding!'” she amusingly added.

Kylie Jenner‘s birthday is turning 29 years old on August 10, and she had an early birthday gathering with several celebrities to celebrate!

It’s unclear if this was the reality star and makeup mogul’s official birthday party, or if this was her only event to celebrate with some of her closest friends and family. It was held over the weekend in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Kylie did post some photos from the event, and we also have photos of stars arriving to and departing the affair.

“My pre-bday princess kitty party,” she previously shared in a since-deleted Instagram Story post, sharing the party’s theme.

We’ve gathered up some of the guest list here.

Role Model‘s new album is here.

The 29-year-old singer-songwriter (born Tucker Pillsbury) released his new record, Chuck Timely & the Hourglass, on Friday (August 7).

Among all the new songs, “Stain” is the most popular on Genius right now, as fans search up the lyrics and discover the meaning behind the track, produced by Mason Stoops, Taylor Mackall and Kane Ritchotte.

“It’s a stain that I’ll never get out / It’s a stain, the kind they warn you about / It’s so vain to be calling the house / It’s a stain that I can’t get out, oh, no,” he sings on the chorus of the track.

The song appears to chronicle an ex unexpectedly reaching back out after another relationship falls apart, as he makes it clear he has no interest in being anyone’s “backup plan.”

“I’m sorry that it didn’t work out with your man / But there’s nothing fun in feeling like a backup plan / Just write a few songs, put a pen in your hand / That worked for me, babe, hey,” he declares.

“I’m very curious will take that one,” he told Zane Lowe in a recent interview, who inquired about whether or not the song will make it to live shows.

At first, Role Model sounded hesitant about including it before saying: “I will play it live. Will it be on the setlist every night? No, I’ll be honest with you…I have enough songs that I love to play.”

Role Model and Dakota Johnson sparked dating rumors for a few months, and he seemingly confirmed in an interview that they are in a relationship.

A planned Star Wars movie is no longer moving forward…as a Star Wars movie, anyway.

Paddington 2 and Wonka writer Simon Farnaby recently gave an interview, where he discussed a project that was meant to take place in the popular franchise.

The 53-year-old writer, comedian and actor addressed what happened to the movie, which would have been directed by collaborator Paul King.

Following the success of Paddington 2, the duo were made an offer from Disney and Lucasfilm to helm a film.

“So we got distracted by that for a while,” he told Variety.

What Was the Planned ‘Star Wars’ Movie About?

According to Simon, the idea was based around a robot, and did not involve any of the major characters from the Star Wars universe.

Why the ‘Star Wars’ Movie Never Happened

“They were like, we really need it to be a Star Wars movie, which is probably why it didn’t get turned into a Star Wars movie! But we never really nailed it,” he admitted.

All was not entirely lost, however: the “unspecified robot” idea is being reworked by Disney.

The Robot Story Will Live On as a New Sci-Fi Movie

“They basically said, it’s not right for Star Wars, but do you want to rework it as a sci-fi film? So we’re working on that now,” he explained.

The Mandalorian & Grogu is now available to watch at home.

Keep up with all the latest updates from the Star Wars universe right here.

The Last House on Netflix follows the Delgado Family, who are locked inside their house as years of rain flood the Earth.

The film is now streaming on Netflix, and fans have thoughts on the movie’s ending.

How does The Last House end?

We learn that some mysterious creatures from the ocean are actually responsible. At the end of the movie, Jason Delgado (Wagner Moura) traps one of the undersea specimens in his home and has the chance to kill it. He decides to show mercy and let it go.

His family, including wife Ann (Greta Lee) and their two kids, are then set free by the creatures, and they are finally able to leave their house.

However, the world is a much different place after the years of rain.

What happens to the Delgado Family after the events of The Last House?

Wagner was asked in an interview what he thinks happens to the family after they are set free.

He told CinemaBlend, “Well, I hope they discover that of course, the world changed. But I hope that they discover that there are good things about that change. I think that we came out of COVID when, when COVID sort of happened in the end of the whole pandemic, I was like, ‘Okay, the world is gonna change. We are gonna come out of this with a different mindset.’ And I don’t think we did. So I hope it’s different for the characters of the film.”

Meet the full cast of the movie here.

Justice Smith is speaking out after it was announced he will star in Heated Rivalry season two!

The 30-year-old Now You See Me: Now You Don’t star has been cast as Ottawa Centaurs social media manager Harris Drover, alongside Charlie Gillespie as Troy Barrett, who are the central couple of Rachel Reid‘s book “Role Model.”

On Saturday night (August 8), Justice took to his Instagram story to react to the love and support he’s received since the news was announced the day before.

“i have to say i am moved by the support and love i’m getting from fans in my dms, fans who have welcomed me with open arms and who already feel a responsibility to protect me.

i am honored to play a character you all care about deeply and i promise i will take good care of him if you give me the chance.

i am beyond excited for this experience”

He also included an apple tree at the bottom of his post, which you can see in the screenshot below. If you’re unaware, Harris’ family lives on an apple orchard and he grew up selling apples with his family. He later brings Troy to the orchard.

Following Justice‘s casting announcement, many fans were upset that he did not fit the book’s description of Harris, who is said to be stocky and rugged with red hair.

Author Rachel Reid seemingly responded to the backlash in her own Instagram story post. See what she said!

As they announced that Justice and Charlie would be playing Harris and Troy, series creator Jacob Tierney and exec producer Brendan Brady shared a statement about their casting process.

“From the start of the casting process, we knew we were looking for actors who could create something truly special together and bring that same depth and heart to the screen. Justice and Charlie do exactly that,” the two TV execs said. “They immediately connected with the vulnerability and resilience at the core of these characters, bringing an instinctive understanding of who Harris and Troy are.”

Filming on Heated Rivalry season two is said to begin next week, and it’s set to premiere in Spring 2027.

Olivia Wilde hits the red carpet at the 2026 Locarno Film Festival on Saturday (August 8) in Locarno, Switzerland.

The 42-year-old actress and director stepped out for a screening and press conference at the festival for her movie The Invite.

Prior to the screening, Olivia spoke out about making sure the movie had a theatrical release.

“They bribe you to not take theatrical,” she said, via The Hollywood Reporter. “We have to fight for it.”

“It’s a bribe. They pay you more,” Olivia added. “Not the filmmaker, no; the financiers will get a lot more money to go to streaming, and you can take that bribe and give that up if that’s where your priorities lie. But we were really lucky that our financier gave me the opportunity to make this decision, which is something I don’t take lightly. She could have very easily said no.”

She went on to praise A24, who released the movie.

“A24 has been extraordinary because they really believe in the theatrical game,” the filmmaker said. “FilmNation made the international deals around the world, all theatrical. So all these great distributors around the planet have invested in this film being seen in theaters. So, I’m very grateful.”

“There is no genre that benefits from the communal [viewing] experience more than comedy,” Olivia adds, noting comedies have often “been delegated to that second tier that really doesn’t deserve cinema.”

In addition to directing, Olivia also starred in The Invite, alongside Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz, and Edward Norton.

The movie centers on married couple Joe (Rogen) and Angela (Wilde), whose relationship is struggling when they decide to host their mysterious upstairs neighbors, Hawk (Norton) and Pina (Cruz), for dinner.

According to the official synopsis, “Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places. Have they reignited the spark or lit the match that burns it all down?”

Check out the trailer here!

The Invite is still playing in theaters and will likely be released on HBO Max in a couple of months as part of A24’s streaming deal with the platform. There are also reports that the movie will arrive on VOD and digital platforms on Tuesday (August 11), but this is not confirmed.

FYI: Olivia is wearing a Fendi dress.

Shai then asks if they hooked up, and Charlie responds, “I don’t kiss and tell. You know me.”

“Ariana and Charlie hooked up,” a source told Page Six. “It did happen and the situation will play out in the second half of the season.”

Next Gen NYC airs weekly on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET/PT on Bravo and streams the next day on Peacock. Stay tuned to find out what happens!

The Last House is the hottest and buzziest new movie on Netflix. But the movie’s timeline spans a long time, meaning that several members of the Delgado family are played by more than one actor.

The sci-fi thriller follows Ann and Jason Delgado, whose family mysteriously becomes sealed inside its home. As their supplies begin disappearing and the years pass, they must find increasingly inventive ways to survive the unknown force keeping them trapped.

Greta Lee and Wagner Moura remain in their roles throughout the movie, while different performers portray their children, Ruth and Graham, as they get older.

Greta Lee as Ann Delgado

Greta Lee plays Ann, the mother at the center of the Delgado family.

Ann works alongside her husband to keep their children safe as their home changes from a place of security into a survival zone.

Greta is best known for her acclaimed performance in Past Lives. Her credits also include Russian Doll, The Morning Show and A House of Dynamite.

Wagner Moura as Jason Delgado

Wagner Moura plays Ann’s husband Jason.

Jason initially attempts to make sense of the family’s confinement, but the situation becomes a long-term test of his ability to protect Ann, Ruth, and Graham.

Wagner previously starred in Netflix’s Narcos and Narcos: Mexico. Most recently, he earned acclaim for his performance in The Secret Agent. He became the first Brazilian to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the 2025 film.

Riley Chung, Emma Ho, and Arden Cho as Ruth Delgado

Minor casting spoiler ahead!

Riley Chung portrays Ruth during the earlier portion of the movie. Riley previously appeared in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.

Emma Ho takes over the role as Ruth gets older during the family’s extended confinement. She previously appeared in The Expanse, Titans, and Star Trek: New Worlds.

A third actress is also credited as Ruth: Arden Cho, who provides the voice of the character as an adult. Arden does not appear onscreen. Her role is connected to the movie’s narration, and the identity of that narrator becomes clear during the climactic ending.

Netflix viewers will likely recognize Arden as the voice of Rumi in the massively popular animated movie KPop Demon Hunters. She also stars in the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix and led the Netflix series Partner Track. Before that, she played Kira Yukimura on Teen Wolf.

Noah Alexander Sosnowski and Gabriel Barbosa as Graham Delgado

Noah Alexander Sosnowski plays the younger version of Ann and Jason’s son Graham. His previous credits include Section 8.

Gabriel Barbosa portrays Graham after the story moves forward in time. Gabriel previously appeared in May December.

Dwayne Johnson is speaking out about the mixed reviews of his latest movie, the live-action adaptation of Moana.

The 54-year-old actor reprised his animated role of Maui in the movie musical, which was released in theaters a month ago.

While the movie debuted at the top of the box office in its opening weekend and is “verified fresh” by audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, critics offered mixed reviews.

In a new interview, Dwayne shared his thoughts on the reactions to the live-action adaptation.

“Our first two reviews came out,” the actor told People. “I’ll never forget it… They were amazing. I was like, wow.”

He then adds with a laugh that the reviews “went another way… as sometimes happens.”

“That’s just the way it goes because we’re in this business,” Dwayne says, adding that he and his wife, Lauren Hashian, “had a lot of these conversations at home, at the kitchen island late at night when the babies are asleep.”

“The challenge was, okay, let’s remember, though, what’s going to be beyond this opening weekend,” he recalled. “Let’s remember what’s happening right now and the noise that’s happening right now.”

“If you love it, great. If you don’t, no problem,” he added, saying that what “really mattered” was that “the culture really stood up.”

The Polynesian culture inspired the world of Moana, and Dwayne‘s own Samoan heritage comes from his mom, Ata, who was at the Los Angeles premiere with him.

Dwayne says the culture is “why the movie was made, because of me and our kids who can now look at the big screen and go, ‘That’s us for the first time on a big screen. That’s us up there. How cool is that?’”

If you missed it, Dwayne recently revealed that a third animated Moana movie is in the works!

The 39-year-old Absolutely Devoted to You actress revealed that her Vancouver home often becomes a gathering place when friends and colleagues from the network are working in the area.

Kimberley lives in Vancouver with her twin daughters, and her kids get to participate, too, when the Hallmark crew comes over. Their visits have included lots of time spent on the family’s trampoline.

“I love having them over to my house in real life and forcing them to jump on the trampoline with my children,” Kimberley told People. “Anytime they’re filming in Vancouver, which is where I live, I make them come over, and we all hang out.”

She shared the sweet detail while attending Hallmark Channel’s 25th Birthday Celebration in New York City earlier this week. The event reunited her with fellow Hallmark stars including Lacey Chabert, Rachel Boston, Scott Michael Foster, Tyler Hynes, Andrew Walker, and Benjamin Ayres, among many others!

Morgan Freeman is bringing his famous voice to a new kind of project.

The 89-year-old Oscar winner is preparing to release his first full-length music project, Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, on Friday (August 14).

Despite Morgan‘s name appearing in the title, he is not the album’s primary singer. He serves as its narrator and producer, guiding listeners through a 12-song exploration of approximately 100 years of blues history, according to Rolling Stone.

The project combines performances from the Ground Zero Blues Club Band with orchestral contributions recorded by the Chineke! Orchestra at London’s Abbey Road Studios. Taj Mahal, Keb’ Mo’, Shemekia Copeland, Alvin Youngblood Hart, and Anthony “Big A” Sherrod are among the musicians featured on the collection.

Its selections reach from Blind Willie Johnson‘s 1927 recording “Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground” to “I Lied to You,” which appeared on the soundtrack for Sinners.

“I heard the blues for the first time on my grandmother’s porch in the Mississippi Delta, and it has never left me,” Morgan said in a statement announcing the project.

His connection to the genre extends far beyond the album. Morgan co-founded the Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi, approximately 25 years ago to provide a home for Delta blues musicians and help preserve the region’s musical legacy.

The album also has a live counterpart. Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience uses narration filmed at Ground Zero alongside cinematic visuals, live blues performances, and a symphony orchestra. The production played Houston’s Wortham Center this month, with additional performances scheduled in Memphis and Gulport, Mississippi.

Morgan is also currently appearing in the third season of Taylor Sheridan’s Lioness, which premiered earlier this month on Paramount+.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is sending a message to the cast and crew of CATS: The Jellicle Ball.

The 78-year-old EGOT-winning composer took to Instagram on Saturday morning (August 8), just hours before the Broadway production puts on its final performance.

“I’m gutted that the wonderful Broadway production of CATS: The Jellicle Ball is closing today,” he wrote. “I’m immensely proud to have been a part of an incredibly daring production whose cast and creative team broke new ground on Broadway and gave 17 actors their Broadway debut.”

He then called out the rising costs of putting on a Broadway show.

“Maybe the show’s closing just might be remembered as the moment that caused everyone involved with Broadway to come to their senses and address the unsustainable cost of producing and running any new show on The Great White Way, let alone daring new work,” Andrew shared. “My undying thanks to the producers and investors and everyone who believed in Jellicle Cats. I won’t forget you.”

CATS: The Jellicle Ball opened on Broadway back in April, with Andrew in attendance, after a successful off-Broadway run.

In June, the cast of the musical hit the stage for a performance during the 2026 Tony Awards, where the production picked up three awards – Best Direction of a Musical, Best Choreography, and Best Costume Design of a Musical for Qween Jean, who made Tonys history with her win.
