Matt Damon lit up theater screens this summer with The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s spectacular retelling of the Greek epic poem that saw him fighting giants, facing off with witches, and taking part in vast battles. If you go back to the beginning of his career, however, the actor made his name on a much smaller canvas.

Released just a year after Damon’s…

The battle for streaming attention is moving outside the apps. TV makers, platforms, and advertisers increasingly want control of the home screen, while viewers are becoming more concerned about ads, tracking, and information overload. The first fight in streaming no longer happens inside Peacock, Prime Video, or Disney+. It happens before you open a single app. The moment you turn on your TV, streaming platforms are already competing to influence what you’ll watch next. Recommendation rows, featured movies, sponsored promotions, autoplay trailers, and increasingly, advertising, are turning the home screen into some of the most valuable real estate in the…
Spider-Man: Brand New Day still has a firm grip on the box office heading into its fourth weekend, and not even Insidious: Out of the Further creeping into theaters looks ready to loosen it.

The film just became the fastest movie ever to cross $800 million domestically, hitting the mark in 19 days and becoming only the fourth to do it at all. Worldwide, it’s…

But he left without seeing it. The former “To Catch a Predator” host went on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” to say he showed up at the studio’s offices for a 10 a.m. private screening of “Primetime” on Thursday. The Pattinson-led drama is built around Hansen’s run atop the hidden-camera franchise. But…
