With $31 million domestically and another $20 million overseas, Street Fighter should at least break even for Paramount, even if it seems unlikely to be a blockbuster. The post Weekend Box Office: Street Fighter scores a solid (if unspectacular) win with $31 million appeared first on JoBlo .

Subvert is a creator-owned music platform, catering primarily to indie musicians; think of it as Bandcamp if it was a co-op. Subvert recently released a policy on the use of “AI” in the music that’s released on the site, and for anyone who is curious about things like this, I really think it’s worth a view. Among the things I think it does right is that it defines the terms under discussion (including acknowledging “AI” is at this point basically a broad marketing term), acknowledges the difference between generative “AI” and other types of computational processes, and then, having done so, lays out what’s acceptable use for music presented on the site (not neglecting things like cover art) and what is not. It even has a process available for judging edge cases, because no matter what your policy, edge cases will exist. Why do I think this policy works? One, because it firmly makes the case for human creation while acknowledging the reality of modern creative processes — in this case music production, where so many of the tools have “AI” baked in but are doing things of a technical nature: “mastering, mixing, equalization, pitch correction, beat detection, noise reduction, and

It’s been years since Ben Affleck was Batman, and even longer since his DCEU solo movie was scrapped. We know a little of what this movie would’ve been, and now former Deathstroke Joe Manganiello has shared more details. Within the pages of his memoir Bloodlines, the True Blood alum talked about his brief dalliance as the DC assassin. Had Affleck’s film happened, Slade would’ve been its main baddie in what the actor called “a superhero version of David Fincher’s The Game.” After believing the Dark Knight killed his son, Slade would’ve “dismantled Batman’s entire life” by killing Commissioner Gordon, kidnapping Alfred, and breaking into the Batcave. He also would’ve had a two-on-one fight between Batman and Batgirl, with him nearly killing the heroes before they escaped. Manganiello went on to say there’d have been a one-on-one “showdown through the streets of Gotham” for the film’s climax. According to him, this fight was inspired by Batman: Arkham Origins’ reveal trailer. The 2013 game had Deathstroke and a scene where Bane broke into the Batcave and nearly killed Alfred. Given Affleck was in talks for this movie a few years after Origins, it’s easy to see the connections.

Jesse Eisenberg continues to tread the festival circuit with his musical comedy The Debut, and on Sunday afternoon was wildly entertaining at a high-energy Screen Talk event ahead of his film’s closing the BFI London Film Festival. Eisenberg, star of Zombieland, Now You See Me and The Social Network, had the crowd in stitches as he spoke about growing up in community theater, refusing to watch himself on screen — ”I don’t like the way I look” — and why he believes musical theater performers are closer to NBA athletes than they are to regular movie and TV actors.
