Record Labels in Talks to License Music to AI Firms Udio, Suno
Major music companies are in talks to license their work to artificial intelligence startups Udio and Suno, deals that would establish a framework for how AI companies compensate recording artists for their work, according to people familiar with the discussions. Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment are pushing to collect license fees for their work and also receive a small amount of equity in Suno and Udio, two leaders among a crop of companies that use generative AI to help make music. Any deal would help settle lawsuits between the two sides, said the people, who declined to be identified because the talks could fall apart.

Shreveport drummer Hoffman returning as a member of Primus
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — John Hoffman is proof that you can go home again. The Shreveport drummer is returning home now as the drummer for the legendary rock band Primus. Shreveport drummer prepares for dream audition Formed in 1984, Primus has long been a staple of the rock scene. Famous for songs like 'My Name Is Mud' and 'Jerry Was a Racecar Driver,' Primus found their own niche and multiple Grammy Award nominations to go with it. It was hard at times, but not metal and clearly not grunge. Bassist/vocalist Les Claypool described the band's music as 'psychedelic polka.' The band was so unique that, for a time, its genre title was simply 'Primus.' In October 2024, Primus drummer Tim 'Herb' Alexander abruptly left the band, stating he 'lost his passion for playing,' according to Stereogum. The band began searching for a new drummer with a national search via YouTube submissions. Over 6,200 drummers auditioned. Those auditionees were whittled down to two: Gergo Borlai and Shreveport's John Hoffman, with Hoffman getting the nod. More Entertainment news Hoffman is primarily known in the Shreveport music scene for his over 10-year stint as the drummer for local band Dirtfoot. Now, he returns as the drummer for one of the most influential bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s, being cited as an influence for bands like Korn, the Deftones, and Incubus. Hoffman already got a taste of life on the road with Primus, opening for A Perfect Circle since April 24. That tour concludes on June 7. The band then starts their first headlining tour with Hoffman on the drum kit on July 5, with a return home on July 29 at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

'Lilo & Stitch' passes 'Sinners' to become 2nd highest grossing film of 2025
'Lilo & Stich' and 'Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning' dominated the box office charts again after fueling a record-breaking Memorial Day weekend. Theaters in the U.S. and Canada had several new films to offer this weekend as well, including Sony's family friendly 'Karate Kid: Legends' and the A24 horror movie 'Bring Her Back. ' According to studio estimates Sunday, it added up to a robust $145 million post-holiday weekend that's up over 115% from the same timeframe last year. Disney's live-action hybrid 'Lilo & Stitch' took first place again with $63 million from 4,410 locations in North America. It was enough to pass 'Sinners' to become the second-highest grossing movie of the year with $280.1 million in domestic ticket sales. Globally, it's running total is $610.8 million. 'Sinners,' meanwhile, is still going strong in its seventh weekend with another $5.2 million, bumping it to $267.1 million domestically and $350.1 million globally. The eighth 'Mission: Impossible' movie also repeated in second place, with $27.3 million from 3,861 locations. As with 'Lilo & Stitch,' that's down 57% from its opening. With $122.6 million in domestic tickets sold, it's performing in line with the two previous installments. But with a reported production budget of $400 million, profitability is a ways off. Internationally, it added $76.1 million (including $25.2 million from China where it just opened), bringing its global total to $353.8 million. Leading the newcomers was Sony's 'Karate Kid: Legends,' with an estimated $21 million from 3,809 locations. The movie brings Jackie Chan and Ralph Macchio together to train a new kid, the kung fu prodigy Li Fong ( Ben Wang). Chan starred in a 2010 reboot of the 1984 original, while Macchio has found a new generation of fans in the series 'Cobra Kai,' which just concluded a six-season run. Reviews might have been mixed, but opening weekend audiences gave the PG-13 rated film a strong A- CinemaScore and 4.5 stars on PostTrak. It also only cost a reported $45 million to produce and has several weeks until a new family-friendly film arrives. Fourth place went 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' which earned $10.8 million in its third weekend. The movie is the highest-grossing in the franchise, not accounting for inflation, with $229.3 million globally. The weekend's other big newcomer, 'Bring Her Back' rounded out the top five with $7.1 million from 2,449 screens. Starring Sally Hawkins as a foster mother with some disturbing plans, the film is the sophomore feature of twin filmmakers Danny and Michael Philippou, who made the 2023 horror breakout 'Talk to Me.' It earned a rare-for-horror B+ CinemaScore and is essentially the only new film in the genre until '28 Years Later' opens on June 20. A new Wes Anderson movie, 'The Phoenician Scheme,' also debuted in New York and Los Angeles this weekend, where it made $270,000. It expands nationwide next weekend. The summer box office forecast remains promising, though there's a long way to go to get to the $4 billion target (a pre-pandemic norm that only the 'Barbenheimer' summer has surpassed). The month of May is expected to close out with $973 million – up 75% from May 2024, according to data from Comscore.
