🚨JUST IN: Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to not show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks.
We prefer the old school way. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
Iran’s World Cup squad has been notified they must enter and leave US soil on the same day of their matches played in America, says Tehran’s ambassador to Mexico.

Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.
Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.
Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.
Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.
اهلا بكم في ازدواجية الغرب
هاجموا مونديال قطـر 🇶🇦 وحاولوا إفشاله بإقحام أكاذيب وشعارات حقوق الإنسان و الرشوه وسوء التنظيم
وفي نفس الوقت الان 🇺🇸 :

Several fans have had their visa status go from "approved" to "travel not authorised"
Somewhere out there a 14 year old is sneaking into Backrooms or Obsession and it’s going to create a forever love and appreciation of horror movies. As someone who knows that feeling well, it makes me very happy.
@FantasyGalaxies Anakin, Asoka, and Rex. Its just nostalgia, but I think their chemistry would work well together. They are all trained to survive in a way the others weren't. Trained for anything and will make crazy ass schemes to win
I went to see ‘BACKROOMS’ last night and saw something I haven't seen in years:
Teenagers standing in line for a movie.
Not with their parents. Not as families. Just groups of kids choosing to spend their night at a theater.
That's what makes ‘BACKROOMS’ so fascinating. Kane Parsons, Curry Barker, and creators like Markiplier aren't just making movies. They're bringing a new generation back to theaters.

A 26-year-old YouTuber made a horror movie in twenty days for under a million dollars. On Wednesday it beat Disney's first Star Wars theatrical release in seven years at the domestic box office.
Obsession brought in $5.6 million on Wednesday. The Mandalorian and Grogu brought in $4.2 million the same day. The Star Wars film opened with the lowest debut in franchise history, lower than even 2018's Solo. Obsession is now closing in on $60 million domestic on a budget reported between $750,000 and $1 million.
The director is Curry Barker. Twenty-six years old, first feature, made his name on YouTube before this. He shot Obsession in twenty days. Focus Features picked it up and gave it a wide release.
What I keep coming back to is how the second weekend went. Obsession opened at $17.2 million, which was already double its projections. The second weekend was bigger than the first.
A 30% week-over-week growth on a wide release is the third-largest jump of its kind in box office history outside of Christmas season. The other two were Sound of Freedom and Mother's Day, both faith-driven films with religious-community word of mouth. A horror movie pulling this off has no comparable case.
Disney spent an estimated $80 to $100 million marketing The Mandalorian and Grogu. The film cost $165 million to make. It needs to reach roughly $475 million globally to be considered a success and is currently at $171 million.
Focus Features marketed Obsession on a fraction of that budget. The fan-driven marketing that exists, including a billboard campaign in LA and New York where a character from the film is texting people from a real phone number, was organized by viewers who wanted others to see it too.
The structural story underneath this week's box office report is what this means about marketing math. For the first time at this scale, audience-discovered word of mouth has outperformed a nine-figure studio marketing buy on the same weekend at the same theaters.
Disney paid four billion dollars for Lucasfilm in 2012. On Wednesday the franchise was beaten by a YouTuber who spent less on a feature film than a single Star Wars billboard probably costs.
BREAKING: Financial disclosures show Trump bought stock in UFC’s parent company, TKO Group, before announcing a UFC event on the White House South Lawn, giving massive publicity to a company in which he has a financial stake.
Under any other president, this would be a major scandal.

@ExpoRecruits Tale of two sides - Kids are getting lied to by coaches and schools about playing time, team, classes, and money. Kids are also not doing research because they only care about NIL money and nothing else. Surprised when you are the 12th RB with no research and greedy
Leaving for work this morning, I looked over and saw what was left behind in the cul-de-sac - a hockey net, scattered sticks, and the remnants of what had to be a 15-20 kid street hockey game last night.
And it hit me… I live at Topsail. A beach community in North Carolina. Yet these kids are choosing to play hockey in the street instead of the “traditional” Southern sports you’d expect around here.
That’s what the Carolina Hurricanes @Canes have done for this state. They didn’t just build a fanbase, they grew the game. It’s honestly amazing seeing hockey take root in places as random as a beach town cul-de-sac. 🏒🌴 Happy Gameday!!!
