For those interested, it seems #GodzillaMinusZero is indefinitely postponed in India. Despite previous Godzilla franchises doing quite well & unprecedented audience interest, they’re being forced to make a move. @_PVRCinemas @PicturesPVR @toho_movie WE WANT THIS IN IMAX HEAVENS!

So PVR bought Godzilla Minus Zero distribution rights for the country just so they can bury it and make the complete screen capture path clear for the other movie? Given Godzilla is beating its ass everywhere else and they are having to resort to block bookings abroad as well..

EXCLUSIVE: India’s biggest news publishers including Ambani's Network18, Adani's NDTV, Indian Express, Times Internet & others mount the most high-profile challenge yet to Modi’s privacy law, warning it would “render investigative journalism a benign and neutered recorder of events.” DNPA (@publishers_news) has taken the law to the Supreme Court. They argue it would trample investigative work and let New Delhi identify journalists’ sources. The provisions “constitute pre-censorship which is anathema to any democracy worth its name,” the group’s 698-page filing says. The key concerns: 🔹 Consent: requiring a journalist to notify the subject of an investigation and seek consent “would allow that subject to destroy evidence, intimidate witnesses” 🔹 Erasure: people can withdraw consent and demand their data be erased, which the group says could force publishers to unpublish or heavily redact news reports 🔹 Sources: a “nakedly unguided” power to demand information that “can extend to privileged communications in possession of a reporter or the informant” In a letter to the government, the group said India “has chosen to grant broad exemptions to the state, while failing to extend any corresponding protection to the press.” reuters.com/business/media-t…

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r…
