Today's entertainment news is split between remembering a giant and watching a company unravel. Clive Davis gets a heartfelt farewell from the artists he mentored, while the Paramount saga gets stranger by the day with accusations flying in all directions. Meanwhile, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' keeps shattering box office records.
The tributes for Clive Davis are rolling in, and they're not just from the usual suspects.
Rolling Stone's tribute to Clive Davis is a who's-who of music royalty, Rob Thomas, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Loggins, all sharing what they learned from a man who was as much a mentor as a label boss.
If you thought the Paramount saga had hit peak absurdity, today proves otherwise.
Ted Hope's 'Block The Illegal Merger' weekly update is back, calling Paramount's behavior the desperate moves of a lost cause. It's a single-source opinion piece but captures a mood that has multiple outlets buzzing today.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center and Creative Communities For Peace are now publicly calling out Mark Ruffalo for what they call 'antisemitic messaging,' backing up Paramount's earlier characterization. The story that started Friday now has institutional weight behind it.
A quiet day at the movies, unless you count the literal billions.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the 6th highest-grossing film ever at $2.22 billion. The Insidious franchise also crossed $800 million globally with its sixth installment.
A24's Anthony Bourdain biopic 'Tony' is having a solid third weekend, pulling in $5 million from 1,652 screens. With a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score and a budget under $15 million, it's a quiet win for the indie studio.
