Wile E. Coyote may not have had a slam-dunk legal argument against the Acme corporation, but in the case of Coyote vs. Acme vs. the Box Office, the audience ruled in favor of the Road Runner-chasing plaintiff. The Looney Tunes-inspired comedy grossed $15 million in its opening weekend, enough for a second-place finish behind the spider-juggernaut that is Spider-Man: Brand New Day. That’s an especially impressive finish when you consider that the $70 million live-action/animation hybrid was released by the indie distributor Ketchup Entertainment, which had limited resources for a high-profile advertising campaign. Ketchup ponied up $50 million to acquire…

Here is everything we know so far about the original series set to arrive on Netflix from Spain. The very strategic place of Spain within Netflix’s conquest of Europe is no secret, as the platform has state-of-the-art soundstages and a production hub in the country (dubbed Tres Cantos), which we visited in 2024.

Andrew Scott had played Hamlet 150 times, each production clocking in at three hours and 45 minutes. He’d learned all 1,500 lines to perform at every show. He’d mastered the physical demands of the final-act swordfight and waded through the complex, volatile emotional journey that led into it. “You’re dealing with the very essence of the biggest question we have,” as Scott puts it now. “What happens to us when we die?”  The New York Times’ Ben Brantley had written of Scott’s performance, “I could see his heart palpitating, and breaking apart, within his chest.” This was in 2017, when…
