We can knock Disney all we want over less-than stellar post-Covid results on Marvel, Pixar and Lucasfilm titles, but the fact of the matter is the brands are still delivering, making the theatrical motion picture studio the continued box office leader with $3.4 billion worldwide for the period of Jan. 1-July 2. That breaks out to $1.35 billion domestic and $2.05 billion abroad, and this is off of seven theatrical releases so far in 2023. Exhibitors can continue to give thanks that the former practitioner of theatrical day-and-date on streaming is no longer doing so and committed to a theatrical…

WASHINGTON — HawkEye 360, a commercial operator of remote-sensing satellites, announced July 6 it was selected by the government of Australia to help detect illegal fishing activity using radio-frequency sensors. The company received a contract of undisclosed value from Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for a pilot program in support of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency.

As per reliable data miner billbil-kun, EA’s annual (but rebranded) football simulation game will be available in Standard and Ultimate editions, with the latter granting a week’s worth of early access — unlike FIFA 23’s three days — starting September 22.

Spoilers below. It is remarkable, really, how much the Apple TV+ series Silo is about tape. You could argue the show as a whole would simply evaporate—conceptually, anyway—without the existence of tape. Tape might as well be the love interest, or the quippy sidekick who dies so the protagonist can have something to brood over. (Silo has that, too, but they’re arguably less important than the tape!) As someone with a slim-to-nonexistent daily relationship with tape, I now find myself eyeing the Scotch roll in my junk drawer and wondering if it will prove a pivotal plot device as the…
If there was a phrase that could summarize Warrior Season 3 Episode 4, it’s the common, almost cliché saying, “You play with fire, you get burnt.” Many characters played with fire, and when it burned them, the pain was nothing like they had ever experienced. The search for the fake money plates brought the cops to the doors of the Hop Wei, where they wasted no time in raining hell on the place. It led to an eventful night for Yan Mi as she crossed more than one boundary, many of which she had never envisioned herself crossing. Elsewhere, Mai Ling’s…

Nearly forty years before the Stonewall uprising—often incorrectly pegged as the moment in history when queer people first began experiencing pride in our identities—Ruth Fuller Field, writing under the pseudonym Mary Casal, published her autobiography, The Stone Wall, where she details a life largely defined by her ferocious pursuit of women. Even then, Field wasn’t ashamed, nor was she interested in hiding her desire. It felt like the most natural thing in the world to her and when she met Juno, a woman with “the most beautiful hands” in 1892 on her first day in New York City, she began…

WASHINGTON — One chapter in European access to space came to a close July 5 with the final launch of the Ariane 5, but the beginning of the next chapter faces additional delays. An Ariane 5 lifted off from the European spaceport at Kourou, French Guiana, at 6 p.m. Eastern. The launch had been scheduled for June 16 but was postponed a day in advance after Arianespace concluded that three pyrotechnical transmission lines used for the separation of the rocket’s solid rocket boosters needed to be replaced.
