BREAKING:
The French embassy has assumed leadership in Cameroon, led by the French Ambassador, due to a colonial-era agreement stipulating that the embassy would take control if the president was unable to govern. This move comes in light of the advanced age of President Paul Biya.
We invite you to share your thoughts on the current situation in Cameroon. Biafra and Ambazonia in our blood.

We’re now in hurricane season, and we’re still not seeing federal emergency declarations being issued in a timely manner. FEMA has had challenges for a long time and needs reform, but withholding these declarations is only making recovery slower and less efficient.

I lowkey need Jayme Lawson & Jack O’Connell to do another project together.
I was eating up their interviews for Sinners.

Check out this amazing article on #EllingtonArts alumna, Jayme Lawson!
“Washington, D.C. native, Lawson was inspired by her hometown’s culture—a liveliness inherent in everything from its go-go music to political activism….” culturedmag.com/article/2022…

so recouping 1/3 of the supposed cost in less than 3 days isn't good??? on a non-marvel, rated-R movie might I add...
Is it, though?
Hypothetically, if I’m a studio that spends $100 million on production and another $50 million on marketing, am I really happy with a $60 million opening?
Especially when you consider that the theaters’ cut only gets bigger the longer the film stays in theaters.

In what universe does a 60 million dollar opening for an original studio movie warrant this headline?
"Sinners" has amassed $61 million in its global debut. It's a great result for an original, R-rated horror film, yet the Warner Bros. release has a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses, so profitability remains a ways away. tinyurl.com/5crb5f83
