Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe theme park is one of the most ambitious projects in theme park history, promising to reshape the entire Orlando tourism landscape. With its grand opening slated for later this year, Universal has wisely initiated internal Epic Universe Team Member previews—a common practice in the industry. These previews are not only a reward for the hardworking employees who make the parks run smoothly but are also part of crucial technical rehearsals.

The numbers are in, and they paint a grim picture for Bob Iger just says after an embarassing Disney shareholders meeting. Disney’s live-action Snow White remake is off to an alarmingly weak start, earning just $12 million on Friday alone, and totaling $16 million including Thursday previews. For a film that cost Disney over $250 million before marketing, this is nothing short of a disaster—and no amount of media spin can gloss over that fact.

Steinberg and Dan Shotz attached as writers, producers, and showrunners.
Ubisoft’s troubled launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows just took an even stranger turn. Players who’ve completed the game are discovering that the credits sequence runs an unprecedented two hours long—a detail that seems almost surreal in light of the company’s current financial struggles.
The release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows was supposed to be Ubisoft’s saving grace. After months of delays, backlash, and a marketing campaign marred by controversy, all eyes were on how the game would perform on its launch day. But the numbers are in for Assassin’s Creed Shadows—and they’re not looking good for Ubisoft, particularly on Steam.
Ryan Reynolds has officially fired back at Justin Baldoni over the ongoing legal feud surrounding It Ends With Us and the fallout that followed. But a particular bone of contention in this case reared its head in a new way. In a newly filed motion to dismiss, Reynolds’ legal team specifically addressed Baldoni’s complaints regarding the satirical “Nicepool” character from Deadpool & Wolverine—a character Baldoni claims was designed to mock his public image as a self-styled male feminist.
