‘The Marvels’ opens with $47M at box office, marking a new low for the MCU

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:10:53 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Since 2008’s “Iron Man,” the Marvel machine has been one of the most unstoppable forces in box-office history. Now, though, that aura of invincibility is showing signs of wear and tear. The superhero factory hit a new low with the weekend launch of “The Marvels,” which opened with just $47 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.The 33rd installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a sequel to the 2019 Brie Larson-led “Captain Marvel,” managed less than a third of the $153.4 million its predecessor launched with before ultimately taking in $1.13 billion worldwide. Wynonna Judd ‘comes clean’ after fans express concern over CMA performance with Jelly Roll Sequels, especially in Marvel Land, aren’t supposed to fall off a cliff. Yet “The Marvels” debuted with more than $100 million less than “Captain Marvel” opened with — something no sequel before has ever done. David A. Gross, who runs the movie consulting firm Franchise Research Entertainment, called it “an u...

Wild’s Freddy Gaudreau begins skating, could play in Sweden

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:10:53 GMT

Forward Freddy Gaudreau, out since a 7-4 victory over Edmonton on Oct. 24, skated for the first time since being sidelined on Sunday, a positive sign for a Wild team still trying to find itself this season.Part of that, of course, has been injuries to key players such as Gaudreau, Matt Boldy, Jared Spurgeon and Alex Goligoski, who have missed games this season a combined 40 times.Spurgeon played his first game of the regular season in a 3-2 loss at Buffalo on Friday, leaving Gaudreau (upper body) and Goligoski (lower body) on the shelf. Both will travel to Sweden for weekend games against Ottawa and Toronto in Stockholm, but only Gaudreau has a chance of playing.Evason said Gaudreau is on long-term injury reserve, which means he won’t be eligible to return until next Sunday’s game against the Maple Leafs.“That’s a possibility,” the coach said before Sunday’s 5 p.m. puck drop at Xcel Energy Center. “We’ll see.”Gaudreau was injured when he took a blind check from former teammate Ryan ...

ST. LOUIS – Another amazing weekend! Can you stand it? Hard to believe this is November, with highs in the 60s and plenty of sunshine.For a little perspective, last year on this date we had snow falling, and it was cold. Our pattern favors some more nice temperatures this week, with more above-normal highs.We are precipitation-free for this week, too, which is good and bad. Outside events are great, but we need the rain badly. A big fat zero in the rain bucket this month, and for the year, we are over seven inches short.

Local teacher's missing son located three weeks after abrupt disappearance 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:10:53 GMT

A local teacher is now incredibly relieved after her son who had gone missing three weeks ago was located. Evan Ochoa, 23, who suffers from severe schizophrenia, was last seen on Oct. 22 at his home in Oxnard before being located on Sunday, his mother confirmed to KTLA.  According to family members, he left abruptly and without any access to money, taking only a skateboard and a backpack with him. After experiencing periods of homelessness and checking into a drug rehabilitation facility, Evan began to develop “peculiar tendencies,” which included repeating bizarre phrases, talking to himself, and explaining “outlandish” ideas he had, according to his mother, Valarie Ulrich. Evan eventually landed in jail in 2020 for threatening a former friend’s father, Ulrich told KTLA. “He spent the next year in jail as the courts tried to get him sane enough to stand trial,” she said. “COVID issues didn’t help. The court was trying to send him to a state hospital for help with his...

Who says Brock Purdy lacks magic? Not the 49ers after 34-3 win over Jaguars

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:10:53 GMT

Brock Purdy lacks the “magic” necessary to be quarterback of the 49ers.That’s been one of the criticisms on a second-year player who has been pretty hard to criticize until recent weeks when the 49ers lost three straight games, during which Purdy threw his first five interceptions of the season.Purdy was back to his old self in a 34-3 road win over Jacksonville Sunday, doing the things he does best — distribute the ball to a number of dangerous targets, avoid turnovers, be a leader.But there was more to it than just being a selfless game manager who happened to complete 19 of 26 passes for 296 yards, three touchdown and no interceptions. Purdy’s opposite number in every way is Jaguars’ quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft the year before Purdy was the last pick at No. 262.The best quarterback on the field was Purdy, as the 49ers harassed Lawrence into a 17-of-29, 185-yard performance with two interceptions. It didn&...
