Not all successful movies need to be franchises. Most really shouldn’t be. That’s not how Hollywood works, of course, but it’s worth repeating. Because in the case of “ A Quiet Place,” now on its third movie with a prequel about a few new characters in New York on the first day of the invasion, the thrill of that fresh idea has waned. And when that happens, what are we left with?

A Quiet Place: Day One delivers several emotional gut punches during its bittersweet ending.

Step aside, Bad Boys, Disney is here to save the day. After a ho-hum May, the box office roared to life last weekend with the monstrous debut of Inside Out 2, which grossed $154 million dollars in just three days. That’s a lot of money, especially when compared to Pixar’s most recent outings, Lightyear, Elemental, and the Disney+ exclusives Soul, Luca, and Turning Red.

Famed View collapser Whoopi Goldberg has seemingly transferred the power (and, frankly, art) of going limp at the Hot Topics table to cohost Sara Haines. Haines sunk into her chair on Wednesday's episode of the talk show, after Goldberg introduced a discussion about an ethical dilemma involving a woman who secretly puts melatonin — an over-the-counter hormone often used to treat sleep issues — into her husband's water bottle to help treat his mental health issues.

When a movie ends, it is essential that it close on a high note. Or at least, a note that corresponds with the film’s story, themes, and characters. There are some films, such as Rogue One or The Lone Ranger, that have middling beginnings or bad story beats but can be redeemed thanks to a great climax or ending moment. There are some films that just plain stink all the way through. And then there are those who showcase promising potential but are let down thanks to disappointing endings.

Franchises and IP (intellectual property) are for better or worse the name of the game in Tinseltown, no matter how often critics and audiences seem to cry out for more original material at the multiplex.

Erin Buker still had a great experience on Jeopardy despite earning the second-lowest score in the game show's history. The stay-at-home mother from San Pedro, Calif., ended Monday's episode with -$7,200, a low that follows former contestant Patrick Pearce's historical low of -$7,400 in 2021 — but she's taking it all in stride.
