UPDATE: Black Panther’s 4-day holiday total is $242 million, which tops Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s 4-day total. The original article follows - Marvel’s Black Panther annihilates the all-time February opening weekend record at the box office that was previously held by Deadpool. It was long presumed the latest installment in the MCU would be another commercial hit for the studio due to a variety of factors. The marketplace had been relatively quiet since Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle dominated the holiday season, meaning moviegoers were starved for a new tentpole....

This is the device that has commonly been referred to as the iPhone SE 2 and iPhone 9. Today’s report says Apple is preparing to officially unveil this iPhone “as early as March,” with production being split between Foxconn, Pegatron, and Winstron. In terms of what to expect from this iPhone, Bloomberg reiterates much of what has previously been reported....

New photos from No Time to Die show Daniel Craig in a bizarre-looking suit for the James Bond movie. Craig took over the role of James Bond in 2006 for the film Casino Royale. Craig returned for three more movies and is currently filming the 25th 007 installment, which will also mark his last outing as the character. While the production of Bond 25 was once thought to be cursed because of an explosion on set, Craig injuring his ankle, and a case of voyeurism, fans have also gotten some positive updates about 007’s next adventure....

Although he wants to return to the Blade Runner universe, director Denis Villeneuve is more interested in making a spinoff or solo film, rather than a Blade Runner 2049 sequel. A few years back, Villeneuve undertook the intimidating task of making a followup to Ridley Scott’s 1982 movie Blade Runner. An adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s sci-fi novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner went from a box office disappointment upon release to being regarded as a masterpiece of its genre in the decades thereafter....

Despite great word-of-mouth and excellent reviews, a long-awaited sci-fi sequel fared worse at the box office than anticipated. In first this weekend is Blade Runner 2049 (read our review), which brought in $31.5 million in its first three days. This figure is well below original expectations heading into Friday, as some estimates thought it could legitimately challenge the October opening weekend record. Sadly, the acclaimed film from director Denis Villeneuve did not have as much commercial appeal as Warner Bros....

Bob’s Burgers distinguishes itself from fellow adult animation by its style, though it has some familiar tropes. It takes an everyday family and gives them more relatable issues, like financial problems. And the comedy is truly unique, with characters that stammer and generally speak like actual people. There’s also “camera” tricks and a consistent subversion of expectations. Even the troublemaker Louise is often revealed to be kind of a softie. She frequently has more empathy than even she expects....

The characters on Beverly Hills, 90210 spend their time in sunny California falling in love, having complicated friendships, and planning for the future. No matter what’s happening in their lives, they can always rely on each other as they’re all kind people who want to do their best for each other. But since there’s such a large cast of characters on this popular teen drama, which aired for ten seasons from 1990 until 2000, it makes sense that some are a lot smarter than others....

Nelson, who was also named Deputy Assistant to the President, will focus her work at OSTP on clean energy investments, a people’s Bill of Rights for automated technologies, a national strategy for STEM equity, the appointment of the nation’s Chief Technology Officer, data-driven guidance for implementing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and programs to bring tech talent to the United States.

Netflix has warned viewers against attempting a viral challenge based on their recent post-apocalyptic film Bird Box. Directed by Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier (The Night Manager), the movie has been a successful addition to Netflix’s original film library, with over 45 million users viewing it in the first week, and as a result, setting a record for the streaming platform. Upon release, viewers couldn’t help but notice the similarities the film shared with John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place, which also focuses on characters suppressing one of the five senses....

Batman was absent throughout the events of Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), despite the film being set in Gotham city; this absence prompts viewers to wonder: where is the city’s famed caped crusader? The latest Warner Bros.’ DC film showed the battle between Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn and Ewan McGregor’s Roman Sionis/Black Mask, which took place all throughout Gotham. Considering that it’s his city, it’s curious why Bruce Wayne was missing in action during this whole debacle....

Over its 6 seasons, Netflix’s unparalleled animated series BoJack Horseman tackles some seriously heady topics, including addiction, mental health struggles, misogyny, and rampant consumerism. The unique world established in the show, where anthropomorphized animals and humans coexist, is focused around the lives of different television and movie figures in Hollywood. The title character is an over-the-hill former sitcom star who spends his life in a perpetual state of intoxication. The actors who voice the various characters in BoJack Horseman are among the most talented and acclaimed in the industry today....

Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) writer Christina Hodson says the movie is more of a standalone film that continues Harley Quinn’s story than a sequel to Suicide Squad. It was in the 2016 movie that Margot Robbie made her debut as the popular DC character Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad was a box office hit, but the reactions to the movie itself were certainly mixed....

The Black Widow has donned a number of costumes since the character first debuted back Tales of Suspense #52 in 1964 by Stan Lee, Don Rico and Don Heck. She was originally introduced as “the gorgeous new menace,” and slowly became a fan-favorite character who joined The Avengers. In the most recent issue of The Avengers by Jason Aaron and Ed McGuinness, Natasha Romanoff is given another new look in what might be her best costume yet....

In a report published this morning, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg says that customers should expect stricter privacy controls, updates to iPad multitasking aimed at attracting advanced users, and new notification modes. The incoming iOS notification banner is said to be redesigned, with more of a focus on auto-reply actions. There will also be interface updates for Apple TV and Apple Watch. Bloomberg had previously said that the iPadOS 15 update will allow users to place home screen widgets anywhere, like the iOS 14 iPhone behavior …...

The creator of BoJack Horseman has revealed that the choice to end the show was far from his own. Set in a world where anthropomorphic animals live alongside humans, the animated series debuted in August 2014. As such, it was one of the very first Netflix Originals, alongside such live-action shows as House of Cards. Expectations were admittedly low when the show premiered. However, it managed to achieve positive reviews and a passionate following....

Written and directed by Joe Mateo (“Big Hero 6”), “Blush” shares the storyteller’s deeply personal journey of healing, hope, and the undeniably human moments of being rescued by love....
