Marvel and Disney's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania stayed atop the domestic box office chart in its sophomore outing with an estimated $32.2 million. But the real superhero of the weekend was Universal's Cocaine Bear, which opened to $23.1 million after stealing away younger adults (and no doubt setting the stage for a 2024 Oscars sweep!). Overseas, it sniffed out $5.3 million for an early global total of $28.4 million. THR's Pamela McClintock writes that Ant-Man 3 fell 69.7 percent in North America. This marks the worst decline ever for a title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not to mention the worst second-weekend drop of any superhero film opening to $100 million or more. The box office report. —"We're sort of exploring what should our goal be." Kai Chuk, YouTube's head of podcasting, revealed more details about the video giant's podcast plans at The Verge's Hot Pod Summit in Brooklyn. But as THR's J.

In a conversation that includes spoilers, the actor unpacks the finale, particularly the pivotal confrontation between his character, Spencer, and Arthur (Rafe Soule). Sklennar also explains why he expects a tonal shift in season two and addresses the still-ongoing mystery surrounding the lineage of Kevin Costner's Yellowstone character. The interview. —"Because she's so resilient, their love is so resilient." Brian also spoke to 1923's Julia Schlaepfer, who plays Alex and discusses the cliffhanger ending for the epic romance between her character and Spencer.
