I didn’t realize this film was doing so bad, but I just saw a report that say, two weeks after being released, the new He-Man movie is “now tracking to become one of biggest box office bombs of all time.” Is this a something we should be worried about?
The proposed merger between Paramount Skydance and Warner Bros. Discovery could create new jobs in Pennsylvania. Shareholders approved the deal in late April.

Some lawmakers oppose the deal, citing concerns about business consolidation, but the article argues it is vital for the state.

Funcom, the studio behind Dune: Awakening, has announced it will lay off some employees as part of a restructuring effort. The news may come as a surprise to many fans in light of the MMO's widespread popularity since release, although the team has dealt with its fair share of issues, too. Regardless, while work on Dune: Awakening will continue, not all the original staff will be involved in it going forward.
