Here’s How Much Captain Marvel Is Expected to Make Its Opening Weekend
Captain Marvel is set to be one of 2019’s first major blockbusters, as it’s estimated to make $100 million or more over its opening weekend.
Per Variety, some tracking services expect the film to perform well beyond this number, maybe reaching as much as $120 million in its first few days with good word of mouth. The most recent MCU film, Ant-Man and the Wasp, opened at $75 million its inaugural weekend. Even though this is a significant number, it’s only the 16th highest debut out of the 20 MCU films.
You’ve Never Seen Anything Like Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots on TV
Netflix's latest anthology, Love, Death & Robots, is like nothing you've seen before - by design.
The project hails from the devious minds of Deadpool director Tim Miller and Mindhunter's David Fincher, who are executive producing the endeavor, but each of the 18 animated shorts (which are definitely NSFW) is created by different teams of animation filmmakers from around the world, including Hungary, France, Canada, and Korea, among others.
As you might be able to tell from our first look at the trailer, the shorts span numerous genres - blending science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comedy - as well as utilizing various animation styles, from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI, creating what looks like a surreal, scary, and sexy fever dream that would probably make Philip K. Dick wake up in a cold sweat.

Hollow Knight sequel announced for PC and Nintendo Switch
Hollow Knight developer, Team Cherry, has announced a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight called Hollow Knight: Silksong.
"Almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned. We do know that makes the wait a little longer, but we think the final, fresh world you’ll get to explore is worth it," Team Cherry's post reads.
The game will be releasing on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch at launch. Team Cherry said that more platforms may be added in the future.
