'Deadpool & Wolverine' Shatters Box Office Records, Security Measures in Gaming Strikes, and More

Marvel's 'Deadpool & Wolverine' achieves record sales, while major video game publishers mitigate strike impacts through in-house studios. Violent protests emerge after a tragic incident in the UK, and Josh Hartnett embraces a challenging role in the film 'Trap.'

Marvel's raunchy and violent 'Deadpool & Wolverine' set a record with $205 million in domestic ticket sales during its opening weekend, besting 'Inside Out 2,' according to distributor Walt Disney.

Major video game publishers like Electronic Arts and Take-Two are expected to endure the recent actor strike due to their in-house studios and lengthy development cycles, analysts reported. The strike is the latest in a series of labor disputes involving Hollywood writers and actors.

An anti-Muslim protest turned violent in a northern English town after three young girls were tragically killed at a Taylor Swift-themed event, shocking the nation. Authorities confirmed no links to terrorism, noting the suspect was UK-born.

Actor Josh Hartnett has taken on a role divergent from his previous work, starring as a serial killer in M. Night Shyamalan's thriller 'Trap.' At its London premiere, Hartnett explained that this role is unlike any he has played before.
