Movies

The transition from cinema to digital releases happens quicker when a movie underperforms at the box office, like the case of the disaster horror comedy “Y2K”. Released by A24 on December 6, it managed only $3.8 million against a production budget of $15 million. It didn’t make much impact at the box office, but its upcoming digital release could give it a second chance to reach more audiences who may have missed it in cinemas during the holiday season as viewers will soon be able to stream it from home around Christmas and holiday break.

To wrap up 2024, Engineered Garments is peering back in time. Under the leadership of Daiki Suzuki, the brand is envisioning the values and styles of the ‘Lost Generation’ of the 1920s for its Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Fittingly named “Invoking the Essence of the Lost Generation,” this line of clothing takes inspiration from well-known Lost Generation figure, Ernest Hemingway, translating his iconic style using Engineered Garments’ design perspective.

Movies are what keeps us going. They are what keep us entertained round the year. Filmbiz personalities Himesh Mankad, Anmol Jamwal and Varun Gupta, in their recent TopMob conversation, discussed about how 2024 was for the movie industry, and what can we look forward to, in 2025. The trio also discussed how high ticket pricing in movie theatres is killing the prospect of movies and why the prices should be brought down with immediate effect.

Speaking about high-profile divorces, Kelly Clarkson’s split with Brandon Blackstock in 2020 was undeniably one of the most discussed for quite some time. The talk show host has expressed repeatedly that she isn’t keen on dating, a sentiment many would understand given the prolonged legal wrangling over child custody, property division, and so forth between her and her ex-husband, which lasted for two years before a settlement was finally reached (not to mention the ongoing legal battles). As it turns out, Clarkson has reportedly been single for longer than one might think.

Regardless of any future roles Mark Hamill takes on, his portrayal of Luke Skywalker will remain his defining character. Despite accepting this reality, early struggles with being typecast made it difficult for him to secure other acting jobs. However, a recent opportunity allowed him to play a character as different from Luke as possible, thanks to the horror mastermind Mike Flanagan.
