Entertainment Highlights: Hollywood, Super Bowl, and Global Events

This week's entertainment highlights include a rise in female leads in Hollywood but a decrease in the representation of people of color. A record-breaking Super Bowl audience, a lawsuit against Netflix by 'Last Chance U' players, and Ed Sheeran's halted performance are also notable. Warner Bros plans a new 'Harry Potter Studio Tour' in Shanghai.

Hollywood has seen significant strides with female leads making up more than half of the top 100 films in 2024, according to a report from the University of Southern California. However, this progress is contrasted by a decline in representation for people of color.

The Super Bowl broke records with 126 million U.S. viewers as the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs. The broadcast included viewership from Fox's network, Telemundo, and various digital platforms.

In other developments, 'Last Chance U' football players are suing Netflix for $30 million over misportrayals, while Ed Sheeran's impromptu concert in Bengaluru was stopped by the police. Michael Kors closed New York Fashion Week, and Warner Bros is expanding with a 'Harry Potter' tour in Shanghai.
