Dwayne Johnson’s Live-Action Film Outpaces Snow White & Mufasa In Previews, Yet A Tough Weekend Lies Ahead

Moana North America Box Office: Dwayne Johnson’s Live-Action Film Outpaces Snow White & Mufasa In Previews (Photo Credit: Disney) Moana has been released in theaters, and before that, previews were held, as with almost all Hollywood movies. It collected decent numbers from the Thursday previews at the North American box office. However, this does not guarantee a strong opening weekend at the box office, and it will have to work extra hard to achieve one in North America. Keep scrolling for the deets. The film’s CinemaScore rating is not bad, as it has received an A- from moviegoers on the site. However, it is not ideal for any Disney PG-rated live-action movie and is also below the previous Moana movies. It is on par with Mufasa: The Lion King and Jungle Cruise, among others. The film’s CinemaScore rating is only above Snow White’s B+. Moana’s collection from the Thursday preview at the North American box office According to trade analyst Luiz Fernando, Moana collected $4.5 million on Thursday previews at the North American box office. …

Spain’s backline bulwark Pau Cubarsi will make life tough for Belgium

All eyes were on the curly-haired wunderkind Lamine Yamal during a training session at La Masia. But the eyes of Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez wandered to a lean, tall figure with boyish looks. He summoned a youth coach by his side and told him he wanted the boy to train with the senior team the next week. On the day of training, when Xavi entered the training ground, he was there with a warm smile and introduced himself in a firm tone: “Hi, I am Pau Cubarsi.” Xavi was impressed. “He had none of the shyness you think of when a teenager called for his first training with the senior team,” the manager recalled to Spanish outlet MARCA. In months, along with the wunderkind Xavi had visited the academy to check out, Cubarsi became a regular in the senior team. After his debut, a Copa del Rey game against Unionistas de Salamanca, Xavi told the media: “With Lamine Yamal, he would mark an era.” He was only 16 then, but in Xavi’s assessment, he was …

Unless Sooryavanshi addresses short-ball problem he will find the going tough

Unless Sooryavanshi addresses short-ball problem he will find the going tough

3 min readUpdated: Jul 9, 2026 11:22 PM IST Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s vulnerability against short deliveries was exploited yet again by England, as the opener perished for a 10-ball 15 in India’s fourth T20I against England, which is being played at the County Ground in Bristol. He has struggled against back-of-length deliveries in all three matches of his international career so far. Bowlers in international cricket are like sharks who smell blood. Archer has shown the way, others will take a leaf out of his book. If Sooryavanshi is to serve Indian cricket for long, he needs to score runs all around the world in different conditions and not just on flat wickets in the IPL. He’s just 15 and has time to learn new skills but the sooner he does it the better as India’s talent pool is overflowing. Having found the strategy conducive in the previous two T20Is, Jofra Archer — a teammate of Sooryavanshi at Rajasthan Royals — banged the ball short twice in the first over. The wunderkind offered a swing on …

Raveena Tandon says making people laugh today without offending someone is tough: ‘In the 90s, we weren’t overthinking’

Published by Webster

Actor Raveena Tandon, who has been part of several seminal Bollywood comedies, has said that humour in the 90s was uninhibited and unapologetic, while today it is difficult to replicate that in movies, as one never knows what will trigger a social media debate. Raveena Tandon has been part of several iconic Bollywood comedies. (PTI) Raveena Tandon on humour in the 90s Raveena credits comedy hits like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Aunty No. 1, Dulhe Raja, and Pardesi Babu as the backbone of her career in Bollywood. But she believes the landscape has changed drastically over the years. “Making people laugh without someone getting offended is probably the ultimate tightrope walk today, it is tough… In the 90s, there was an uninhibited, innocent, and totally unapologetic madness to our films. Chi Chi (Govinda) and I would react purely on instinct. We weren’t overthinking how a joke would look on a 15-second internet clip or if a line would trigger a social media debate. That raw, purely character-driven, loud-and-proud humour of the 90s is rare now …

Tough World Cup conditions no ‘excuse’ for England, says Tuchel

Published by Parlour News

Coach Thomas Tuchel on Friday said World Cup hopefuls England will not use scorching heat and vast travel distances between venues as excuses as they target a “long” tournament campaign. Tough World Cup conditions no ‘excuse’ for England, says Tuchel England face New Zealand in a pre-tournament friendly in Tampa Bay, Florida, on Saturday, and have been preparing with training sessions in hot and humid West Palm Beach. “We don’t want it to be an excuse. It will be tough. It will be hopefully a long World Cup,” Tuchel told a press conference. “It will be a lot of travelling, it will be a lot of adversity from the heat, from humidity.” Hoping to end 60 years of hurt, England enter the tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada among a group of favorites led by the likes of France, Spain and defending champions Argentina. Following their New Zealand tune-up, and a friendly against Costa Rica in Orlando on Wednesday, England will head to their training camp in Kansas City, where temperatures above …

Selectors take tough call: Surya’s T20 exit like Virat, Rohit’s Test departure | Cricket News

Published by Webster

4 min readUpdated: Jun 3, 2026 10:53 PM IST Just three months after Suryakumar Yadav captained India to the T20 World Cup title in Ahmedabad, the 35-year-old has not only been removed as captain but is also unlikely to find a place in the squad when the selectors meet next. Though the decision may raise eyebrows, it goes with this selection committee’s trend of not letting things drift or shying away from making tough calls. Of late, Suryakumar has been in the middle of a slump. In the IPL, he managed just 10 sixes in 13 innings and was overshadowed by the young guns in terms of boundaries and strike rates. Even before the T20 World Cup at home earlier this year, Suryakumar was struggling to find big scores before he hit three fifties in the series against New Zealand to turn a corner. His batting during the World Cup was nothing to write home about. Even Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were not spared when form deserted them. After the series loss in Australia …
