Avengers Infinity War crosses the 500 million dollar mark at US box office

Avengers: Infinity War, the Disney and Marvel’s superhero epic, just reached another milestone. It crossed the coveted 500 million dollar mark in its domestic market. Infinity War is a massive crossover that brings together a multitude of characters from different franchises in Marvel Cinematic Universe and pits them against the Mad Titan, Thanos. Ever since its release, Infinity War has been eating previously set records like breakfast.
The Anthony and Joe Russo directorial earned 257.69 million dollars in its opening weekend, breaking the previous record holder Star Wars: The Force Awakens that had opened at 248 million dollars. In India, too, this film put some of the top Bollywood movies to shame with its insane numbers. It became the biggest opener of this year, defeating movies like Padmaavat and Baaghi 2. It is also now the biggest Hollywood earner in the country and has crossed the Rs 200 crore mark.
All those record-breaking numbers were possible because the big Infinity War villain, the planet-destroying tyrant Thanos had been teased six years ago with The Avengers and all the massive buildup was helped by many other largely standalone franchises like Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy and Doctor Strange, the first of which came out in 2008. Characters from these franchises collaborated to bring down Thanos and his lieutenants, the Children of Thanos.
It also received mostly positive reviews. It currently holds an 84% rating at Rotten Tomatoes. The consensus reads, “Avengers: Infinity War ably juggles a dizzying array of MCU heroes in the fight against their gravest threat yet, and the result is a thrilling, emotionally resonant blockbuster that (mostly) realizes its gargantuan ambitions.”
The sequel to Avengers: Infinity War, the untitled Avengers 4 will hit theatres worldwide on April 3, 2019. Before its release, two more Marvel Cinematic Universe movies will also release, Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel.

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
