The film is a creation of Robert Rodriguez. It debuted on Thursday, bringing its total records through Sunday to $36.5 million. While the film led box office, it was a dismal record for the cyberpunk movie that cost $200 million to create.

During last year’s President Day weekend, Black Panther earned a record $242 million, which sets Alita’s numbers at just a fraction of what the Marvel superhero film earned.

At number two this year was Lego Movie: 2 which earned $27 million across 4,303 theaters. It was also a low record compared to its prequel, The Lego Movie, which debuted to $69 million in its first weekend four years ago. At third place was, Isn’t it Romantic, which earned $16 million in over 3,400 theaters.

Alita was produced by award winning producer James Cameron. It follows the life of a compassionate doctor who finds a heart and soul of a young woman with a mysterious past in one of his cyborg shells.

The movie debuted to poor ratings by critics, which is probably the reason for its low earnings.

The $100 million estimate is a remarkable figure for a film whose main actress, Larson, isn’t a major character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Her only mention in the MCU came during Infinity War where she was mentioned as a ’90s era pilot called Carol Danvers.

Marvel’s films have earned great success over the years. Last year, Black Panther earned over $1 billion dollars worldwide. Infinity War doubled that amount while Ant-Man and the Wasp earned $500 million at the box office.

To reach the heights of Infinity War, Captain Marvel will have to outdo every other female-led cast superhero film before. Wonder Woman may have opened to $103 million in 2017, but it grossed just over $821 million globally.

Of course, Wonder Woman was a DC film, and DC films have been performing relatively lower than MCU franchises for a while. Captain Marvel’s story that aligns well with the MCU Universe may also help steer the film forward. Larson is also an Oscar award winner and she is joined by a team full of A-list actors and actresses.

Glover was nominated for his song, “This is America” in the video category. He received a second nomination for top male performer. He also received three more nominations related to his show, Atlanta. First, he received a nod for his acting and another for his directing work. The FX TV show, which he created, was also nominated for best comedy series.

Winston Duke, who starred in Black Panther, announced the nominees with actress Logan Browning of Dear White People at the Television Critics Association Winter meeting.

Besides Glover, Beyoncé, Lebron James, Chadwick Bosman, and Regina King were nominated in the entertainer of the year category alongside Black Panther’s director Ryan Coogler. The Marvel’s film also got a nomination for best motion picture alongside BlacKkKlansman, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Hate U Give and Crazy Rich Asians.

Notable artists, including Cardi B, who had a great year in the music scene, were conspicuously left out. The award ceremony, which will celebrate its 50^th anniversary this year will be held on March 30 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood and will be aired live on TV One.

Stevie performed more than half a dozen songs at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate the record label that influenced great artists like Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

While addressing the crowd, Motown’s founder Berry Gordy said he had fulfilled his lifelong dream of creating a record label that produced music for “all people.” Gordy opened the label in 1959 as a studio label for underappreciated artists. With time, The Supremes, Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and many more joined him.

“My dream was to make music for all people,” Gordy said. “Well, my dream came true…I want to thank all of you fans, and your parents, and their grandparents. All around the world. I could say their great grandparents, but that would make me older than I want to be.”

John Legend covered some of Motown’s legendary hits, including Gaye’s “Mercy Me”. Ne-Yo covered “I’ll be There” by The Jackson 5 while Ciara did a rendition of “Give It to Me Baby.” Diana Ross forced the audience to stand as she wowed them with her iconic voice.

Other artists in the house included Chloe X Halle, Tori Kelly, Martha Reeves and Meghan Trainor. Jennifer Lopez, who did a tribute of Motown at the Grammy awards on Sunday was not present.

Using his alter ego Childish Gambino, Glover starred in the song’s video alongside numerous celebrities and video vixens meant to highlight different vices in America. The song went viral instantly and has since then amassed nearly 500 million views on YouTube.

On Sunday, Glover outdid fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar who had been nominated for his song, “All the Stars”, as featured in the Marvel franchise Black Panther. He also outdid rapper Drake who was nominated for “God’s Plan.”

Other artists nominated for the same award were Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper for “Shallow”, Shawn Mendes for “In My Blood” and “The Joke” by Brandi Carlile.

With Glover absent, Alicia Keys accepted the award for him.

Besides song of the year, “This is America” also won best video and best record of the year.

Cardi B also made history when her album Invasion of Privacy won the album of the year award, becoming the first female, solo rap artist to do so.

Dubbed The Trench, the film is set around the underwater kingdom with the same name in the Aquaman franchise. The new film will be co-produced by Peter Safran, a man known for his role in the Conjuring Universe. Aquaman’s director James Wan, will be the second producer.

Noah Gardner and Aidan Fitzgerald will write the movie’s script and will feature a totally new cast. That means Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, and all the other actors credited for Aquaman’s success will be conspicuously missing.

The Trench is a result of Walter Hamada taking over the DC Universe. While working in the Conjuring franchise, he was famous for turning fan-favorite scenes into movies. Remember the scary doll from The Conjuring? Hamada turned it into Annabelle. You liked the creepy nun in the Conjuring 2? She got her own film.

The Trench in Aquaman became a popular scene after it featured two of the film’s stars descended beneath the ocean as they were pursued by backlit CGI characters. The Trench will return to show what happens in the under-world, only this time with no super heroes.

The film is an adaptation of the popular hunter video game that allows players to rip apart wild animals with the goal of making armor and weapons out of their body parts. Jovovich teams up with actor Tony Jaa as soldiers who traveled from Earth to tour the Monster Hunter World. The team was sent by the UN to fight off the monsters and prevent them from visiting Earth.

The filming of Monster Hunter is already done and the film is near completion. Reports close to the film’s producers say they are hoping for a Labor Day Weekend release date, hence the September fourth date. So far, only two other films have release dates on the same day: The Conjuring 3 and The Croods 2.  

Monster Hunter producers are the same people who produced the commercially successful film starring Milla, Resident Evil. The series grossed over one billion dollars. Director Paul W.S. is expected to use the same crew that helped make Resident Evil a success in the new film.

The performance is just slightly below what Universal had forecasted ($50 million).  The film, starring Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Sarah Paulson and James McAvoy, debuted on Thursday in 3,200 North American theaters and earned $3.7 million that night.

Glass is the continuation of Shyamalan’s Unbreakable and its sequel Split in 2017. The film’s success is yet to happen. Critics predict that Glass will become the second highest grossing film in the MLK weekend only behind American Sniper that grossed $107.2 million in 2015.  That means the film will surpass Kevin hart and Ice Cube’s Ride Along’s $48 million earnings the comedy film earned in 2014.

Shyamalan directed, wrote and financed film for a total of $20 million. He hired most of his former employees in past sequels for Glass. McAvoy reprised his character from the Split movie while both Willis and Jackson reprised their roles in the original Unbreakable movie.

Poor reviews may have shunned enthusiasm to view the film, which was originally forecasted to debut at $70 million. Fortunately, both the Upside and Aquaman also had unfavorable reviews but are leading box office numbers so far.

Representing Pepsi on a commercial is a major deal for the rapper—and one that any athlete, musician, model, actor, or public figure would dream to get. Cardi also joins a long list of successful artists and athletes who’ve starred in a Pepsi commercial.

Christian Aguilera, Beyoncé, Mar J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Britney Spears, Ray Charles, and Nicki Minaj are some of the musicians who’ve been featured. Among athletes, soccer legend David Beckham, and NFL player Drew Brees are the most recent athletes to appear.

The Super Bowl weekend will also see the “I Like It” rapper headline the Super Bowl Music Festival on February second. He will be joined by rappers Lil Baby, Lin Yachty, Migos and singer Bruno Mars for a show in Atlanta.

After the show, she’ll also wait to find out if she wins any Grammy Awards. She was nominated in five categories. The 26-year-old also had the chance to perform at halftime during the Super Bowl but she turned down the offer. As her replacement, Maroon 5 will be joined by rappers Travis Scott and Big Boi on the big stage.

Hart will be one of several producers involved in the movie. He will be joined by John Cheng, and Carli Haney to represent his HartBeat Productions label. Sharla Sumpter Bridget, who produced Soty and Prince of Peoria will also be involved.

Tim Story, the director, has worked in several highly successful films in the past. Besides Ride Along, he was involved in Barbershop and Fantastic Four. He also worked for Hart in three of his stand-up shows.

The Monopoly movie will revolve around the board game believed to be played by more than one billion dollars around the world. A few directors have attempted to turn the game into a movie numerous times in the past. Most recently, Ridley Scott attempted to make a movie out of it in 2008 but the project failed and Lionsgate purchased its production rights.

In the meantime, Hart is working on The Secret life of Pets 2 while the director is tied up to New Line’s Shaft, a movie that stars Samuel L Jackson.
