Hermes hosts fashion show at Paris airport hangar

French luxury group Hermes International (HRMS.PA) shuttled the fashion press to an airport on the outskirts of Paris for its spring ready-to-wear catwalk show, sending fitted leather crop tops, silky dresses and relaxed trousers down a circular catwalk set up in a hangar. Robot cameras whizzed around the runway and dropped from the ceiling, filming the models as they marched past the audience seated on a platform at the center of the space.

Box Office: 'Venom' Sequel Feasts on Monstrous $90 Million Debut, Setting Pandemic Record

"Venom: Let There be Carnage" roared to $90.1 million in its debut, setting a new pandemic record. It's an impressive result, one that provides a lifeline to struggling movie theaters and (once again) proves Marvel's might at the box office. The much darker "Venom" follow-up comes from Sony Pictures and is separate from Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, which recently delivered "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" and "Black Widow" -- the two highest-grossing films of the year at the domestic box office. If its first three days in theaters are any indication, "Venom: Let There be Carnage" looks to find itself among that group as 2021's biggest earners. The film is playing only in cinemas as opposed to a hybrid release on-demand, a factor that should help ticket sales.
