In The Grey North America Box Office Projection( Photo Credit – YouTube ) In the Grey starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill is all set to be released in the theaters next month and early box office projections suggest a modest debut. As anticipation builds, the film’s opening weekend numbers will be closely compared to those of Henry Cavill’s last five theatrical releases, offering a clearer picture of where it stands among them.

Eiza González, Kristofer Hivju, Fisher Stevens, and Rosamund Pike also feature in the crucial roles. Cavill had been having a dry spell at the box office; his past films, including Argylle and The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, had failed there.

3 min readMar 29, 2026 12:30 PM IST Tournament favourite Fabiano Caruana believes while chess engines haven’t changed since he played in the last of his three Candidates outings, but analysis certainly has. Speaking on the CSQ podcast ahead of his opener against Hikaru Nakamura, Caruana with a tight crop told the C-Squared pod that some things had changed from the last time in 2024. “It’s different because openings are different, you know, uh just opening preparation is very different . It’s different from 2024, even from Toronto,” he would say. The changes are nuanced but could play out dramatically on the board. “It’s still a pretty similar era.

Given the whole vibe of Chess with Magnus Carlsen ushering in the very refreshing concept of “getting bored” into the sport, which pushes GMs to think out the box Caruana …
