“Then, later on, when we left, she was like, ‘Oh, so you like him,’” recalls Wati. “But a week later, we decided to get together on a Saturday, and we spent most of the day together,” recalls Mike. “He’d mail them to me in these little padded envelopes,” recalls Wati. “Eventually, I was able to figure out how to get some credit for doing a paper at Melbourne University in January 1989,” recalls Mike. “She would stay for about a month or a little bit more,” recalls Wati.

▼ + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Nicole Sperling | More About Nicole Sperling | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Mr. Costner tried something rare this summer, releasing the first chapter of his western saga “Horizon” — which he directed, starred in, co-wrote and partly financed — in theaters across the country on June 28. The plan was for the second chapter in the sprawling story to be released six weeks later. The first chapter, which cost $100 million, made $11 million in its opening weekend and has generated just $22.6 million over all. Those who bought tickets to the second “Horizon” film would be able to receive a refund. It is not clear when or how the second chapter will be released.

“Inside Out 2,” starring a personified Anxiety, continued to resonate with moviegoers as the No. The dread-infused prequel “A Quiet Place: Day One” also struck a cultural nerve, arriving to stronger-than-expected ticket sales. “Inside Out 2” from Pixar was on pace to collect $55 million, for a three-week total of roughly $470 million in the United States and Canada, according to estimates by box office analysts on Saturday. The well-reviewed sequel is nearing $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales. No movie has reached that sales threshold since “Barbie,” which was released in July 2023.

CNN —When a famous British tree was “deliberately felled” in September, pictures showed the trunk lying, horizontal, over part of Britain’s Roman-built Hadrian’s Wall. On Tuesday, Historic England – a government body that oversees preservation of ancient landmarks – confirmed part of Hadrian’s Wall where the felling took place has been damaged. The Sycamore Gap tree was widely photographed and admired prior to the felling. It also confirmed plans to work with the National Trust – a UK charity which also helps look after the site – “on a plan to repair the damage” to Hadrian’s Wall. Meanwhile, the National Trust is welcoming ideas from the public for “the future of the site and the tree” with people asked to get in touch with their suggestions.
