let's get you caught up with some of the
top entertainment headlines we're following for you this hour.
And let's start with the box office
Top Gun Maverick Jet to its big second weekend.
The sequel, crossing a half a billion dollars worldwide,
currently stands at $548.6 million.
Top gun two scoring a domestic total of 291.6
million making the film Tom Cruise's highest ever.
Grosser in North America and Canada
Mavericks surpassed the actor's previous domestic top spot,
which was war the world that brought in just $235 million.
The new box office numbers come after
the action film earned an estimated 124 million
at the domestic box office in its first three days over memorial day weekend.
Now Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,
it made another 9.2 million in its weekend.
Number five that brings its total to $388 billion.
And then there's the bob's burger movie running at the
top three at the domestic box office as well.
But let's go back to top Gun here because what's most impressive here is most movies.
Even Spiderman, even Doctor Strange,
any movie that's done incredibly well at the box office has traditionally on
average lost about 50% of its box office in the second week.
Clearly everybody goes and sees it the first
week and then there's a massive drop off.
Top Gun only lost 30%.
So it continues to show that it has stained power in the likelihood.
Now this according to you know the person obsessed with Matthew Belloni at Fox News,
he is now projecting that this will get past a billion dollars,
which they did not think it was going to.
But now the fact that it's already halfway there,
this would be monstrosity if he was able to get past a billion
dollars for Tom Cruise who never got $100 million in an opening weekend,
which I mentioned that to a few people you and I were talking about that last weekend.
It's almost unbelievable that Tom Cruise, one of the biggest actors,
there's never,
there's never
101 of the most bankable superstars on the planet next to the rock and he had never had
$100 million box office is incredible.
But look,
even the rotten tomatoes numbers have continued to do really well for that as well.
It's still in the 90% times. I've said this before.
We've never seen so much hype around a movie that
isn't comic book based or some kind of franchise.
And you and I the only reason we didn't know we were talking about this
commercial. Yeah, we were enjoying the Sun.
It was too nice, but I'm definitely gonna go to the next week or so. Yes.
Every, my mother finally went instead over the weekend.
She's like this is like the perfect movie in a theater.
You do not watch this on the streamer, which is why it's not on the streamer,
you go to the theater.
So if my mom is approved of it, you have no choice but to go All right,
thanks mrs Machado taking that.
Alright, get excited, marvel fans.
I am Groot finally has a release date on Disney plus the
animated series of shorts will hit the streaming platform on august 10th.
The series centers around none other than the baby Groot himself,
this cutie pie on your screen,
The poster marvel release shows a pretty chill baby Groot
as he relaxes with headphones attached to peter quills,
iconic walkman
vin Diesel reprising his role as the voice of this adorable tree
marvel and Disney haven't real too much about I am Groot.
The series aims to explore the storyline of Groot and bring audiences
back to a time when baby Groot first began its adventures.
I am Groot is set to premiere right before she hulk another one,
I'm so excited about Attorney at Law which arrives on Disney
plus on august 17th Disney is really killing in the summer.
Obi wan Kenobi, I started watching that this weekend. Amazing!
I am Groot, she hulk so many people are anticipating these shows
and don't forget Pinocchio is coming out in a few months
as well. So
it is very strategically because look bob chapek, the ceo has said
that the release on a lot of these things from Disney plus
two theaters was going to be very strategic,
but clearly the strategy has been in netflix which
is really failing right now with subscriber numbers.
Disney has been increasing inscribed subscriber numbers bring up 10 pull programs
that are going to continue to keep those subscribers on the network.
So every month at least for the summer at hand but likely for the
rest of the year but at least for the rest of the summer.
Disney has a major sort of franchise that it can basically build Disney
plus behind to keep the subscriber staying on the platform which is really,
really key here and on top of that the shows are well made their great raptors.
They spend a lot of money on these shows, great storytelling. But what we've seen
and and look,
netflix is saying Stranger Things is already off to the
off the front running in terms of the best ever.
But what we've seen with netflix already projecting
to lose another two million subscribers this quarter.
If you don't have a big franchise program at least every month or at least every week,
you're gonna lose those subscribers.
And now you're just basically in a race now just to keep whatever
subscribers you have at this particular point jumping down across the pond.
Queen Elizabeth has now found a wide variety of guests
to visit Buckingham Palace but none like this one.
Look at this,
perhaps
you would like a marmalade sandwich. I always keep one for emergencies.
So do I.
I keep mine in here,
wow
for later.
Yeah. Who knew the queen had bread in her purse.
Yeah that's Paddington bear joining the queen for some tea.
That is part of the platinum jubilee sell a celebration.
The video was shown to thousands outside the palace to open a
concert in celebration of the queen's 70 years on the throne.
And the only person missing from the queen's celebration was
oh yeah the queen
herself.
That's because she didn't attend because what the
palace was saying was quote episodic mobility issues.
Now queen Elizabeth did make a surprise
appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.
That to close out her platinum jubilee celebration. On sunday
the 96 year old appeared on the balcony with the two future kings
prince Charles and Prince William along with other royal family members as well.
But let's go back to the Paddington thing because social media was really funny
because they were looking at this because queen Elizabeth was not
at a lot of the jubilee because of health issues people were
saying so which one of the two people at the table
but Paddington bear and queen Elizabeth was real with one C.
G. I.
And one might be a deep bag but nobody knows which one it is and
it's and it's just I mean one it's funny because clearly the queen was really clearly
at least I think she's real.
But the fact that she was pulling to host out
and having this conversation with Paddington which we should note.
You know rotten tomatoes still says it's the best highest rated film of all time.
I will say you can relate to that after I saw that commercial I'm like
I can kind of relate to her which I don't think I've ever said about that
because she doesn't do those kinds of things.
She never does sort of like those fun things. I mean for that very reason right?
You want to keep the mystery around
but she's still got a little personality
like you pull out toast, set your bag.
That's what that's what I see you do every morning
is exactly the butter and the jam. Yeah.
Meanwhile the queen of christmas is being sued over
one of the biggest hits of all time.
Mhm.
Yeah it's like christmas classic Mariah Carey is facing
$20 million copyright infringement lawsuit over her massive hit.
All I Want For You is christmas.
All I want for christmas is you excuse me, a country music artist named Vince Vance,
whose real name is Andy Stone alleges he wrote and recorded a song called
All I Want for christmas is You Five years before carries massive 1994 hit
experts say the only thing the two songs have in common is the title.
They also point out that the U. S.
Copyright office has dozens of songs with the same name.
I would think that's a pretty popular title for christmas song I would have to hear it
side to side
and I haven't heard that this side by side comparisons either.
Most of the reports I've read have just literally just been on the title.
But as you correctly point out,
the U. S.
Patent and Copyright Office is saying there's multiple songs with that same title.
Very very, very rarely does somebody win one of these lawsuits.
The most the most notorious one of all of them is the blurred lines lawsuit.
That is the only one that really you could say that actually anybody's one.
But this is why Ed Sheeran has said on multiple occasions. This is why he records
the songwriting process all the time.
Every bit of it because of all of the lawsuits he
has also faced as well for a lot of his music.
I mean,
there was there was just one just a few months ago
that he recently was installed and where people were saying,
look what I had written one of these songs and he's like, no, you didn't.
And here's the video evidence was sort of proved this,
but that's now what you're having to do now as an artist.
All right. Meanwhile, last night the stars lit up Hollywood
for the MTV movie and tv awards.
Some of the big winners of the night included your
