Webster Theater reopens over 1 year after fire
Delayed Bombers entertainment venue granted eighth extension by City of Johnston
In November 2023 a fire broke out at a vacant building along 2nd Street in downtown Webster City. Despite multiple fire crews battling the blaze, several businesses near the vacant building sustained significant damage, including the historic Webster Theater.
After the fire, a large restoration project on the theater began, and now — nearly 18 months later — the theater is ready to welcome back movie buffs.
According to a post on the theater's Facebook page, the first showing in the revamped space will be Marvel's Thunderbolts at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 1.

Marvel leaves Georgia to film superhero movies in UK — gutting state's movie industry: ‘You feel like a jilted lover'
Marvel Studios has shifted most of its production out of Georgia in favor of the United Kingdom — a move that has gutted the Peach State's film industry, wiping out nearly half its spending and leaving once-bustling soundstages largely empty. The Disney-owned studio behind 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and 'She-Hulk: Attorney at Law' filmed nearly two dozen projects in Atlanta over the past decade. But starting with this summer's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps,' Marvel is shifting its superhero slate — including two new 'Avengers' films and the next 'Spider-Man' — to facilities outside London. Advertisement 4 Tom Holland was recently spotted filming scenes for the upcoming 'Spider-Man' installment in Glasgow, Scotland. UnBoxPHD / While major studios including Disney, Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery threatened boycotts over Georgia's 2019 abortion law, with some smaller productions leaving in protest, Marvel's current exodus to the UK is driven purely by economics. Rising labor costs in Georgia tipped the scales. In the UK, crews are paid less and studios aren't saddled with health insurance expenses, making it cheaper to shoot overseas, a person familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. The result has been devastating. Georgia's film and TV spending has plunged nearly 50% in three years, with just 245 projects filmed in the fiscal year ending June 2025 — down from 412 in 2022. Advertisement 'You feel like a jilted lover,' Janine Gosselin, 62, a script supervisor who once made $200,000 a year working Marvel sets, told the Journal. She hasn't had steady work since February 2024 and has borrowed from her retirement fund to cover bills. The downturn has film workers so demoralized they've turned the state's famous jingle into a joke. Crew members on the game show '25 Words or Less' sang new lyrics to the 'Made in Georgia' tag earlier this year: 'Unemployed in Georgia.' Advertisement Trilith Studios — Marvel's longtime 1,000-acre production hub near Atlanta, with 34 stages and its own housing village — has gone quiet after years of nonstop demand. 4 Marvel Studios has shifted most of its production out of Georgia in favor of the United Kingdom — a move that has gutted the Peach State's film industry. AFP via Getty Images 'We were fighting over stages on a daily basis because there just wasn't enough room for Marvel and whatever other show was trying to film,' location scout Lenzi Sealy, who worked on four Marvel projects, told the Journal. Now, she says, the lot is 'largely empty.' Advertisement Sealy remembered February's 'Captain America: Brave New World' shoot, when rumors spread it might be Marvel's Georgia swan song. Her fears came true weeks later when the studio held an auction to sell props it had accumulated during its decade in the state. 'That's when it really hit home,' she told the Journal. For local crews, Marvel wasn't just another client — it was the cornerstone. The studio's high-budget blockbusters employed hundreds at a time and kept workers busy year-round. 4 This file image released by Marvel Studios shows, from left, Benedict Cumberbatch, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Wong in a scene from 'Avengers: Infinity War.' AP 'Marvel allowed me to do so much with my life and really set the trajectory for my career,' said grip John Grubb, 44, who worked six Marvel films. He even calls his $350,000 home 'the house 'Avengers' bought.' The collapse comes after a meteoric rise that began in 2008, when Georgia expanded of its film tax credit to 30%, uncapped — making it one of the most generous in the world. Advertisement The policy turned Atlanta into the so-called 'Hollywood of the South.' Franchises rushed in: Lionsgate's 'Hunger Games,' Universal's 'Fast & Furious,' Netflix's 'Stranger Things' and AMC's 'The Walking Dead.' At its peak, the industry supported nearly 20,000 jobs, according to a 2023 Georgia State University study. But the global economics have changed. Across the US, 29% fewer big-budget movies and shows began filming in 2024 compared to 2022, according to ProdPro. Advertisement In the UK, that number jumped 16%. 4 This image released by Disney shows the Silver Surfer, portrayed by Julia Garner, in a scene from 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps.' AP Other countries like Canada and Australia continue to lure projects. States including California, New York, New Jersey and Texas are pumping up their own incentives to compete. Lee Thomas, director of the Georgia Film Office, said rising labor costs drove Marvel and others out. Advertisement 'We hope that this is an anomaly where they'll try out other markets and will return to Georgia because they have faith in our crew and facilities and our tried-and-true incentive,' she told the Journal. Trilith CEO Frank Patterson is betting the slump will end, predicting a 'new normal in 2027.' In the meantime, his company is investing in startups that make content exclusively on the studio's stages. The Post has sought comment from the Georgia Film Office and Marvel.

The world's biggest comics platform is betting on video to lure Gen Z
A new combatant is entering the streaming wars. Webtoon Entertainment, the popular creator-driven comics platform, is making a big bet on video. The platform is adapting comics into episodic videos meant for vertical scrolling, the company shared exclusively with Business Insider. It's starting with 14 English-language comics, with more episodes and titles rolling out throughout the year. Web comics have been on the rise and have attracted the attention of entertainment giants as a way to reach young people. Webtoon last week announced a deal with Disney to distribute its comics featuring Marvel, Star Wars, and other characters, and global streamers like Netflix and Amazon's Prime Video have adapted Webtoon comics to their platforms. And Netflix's biggest movie hit this year, "KPop Demon Hunters," was inspired by anime. Started in Korea in 2005, Webtoon is by far the biggest online comics platform. It reported revenue of $1.35 billion last year, up 5.1% year over year. Webtoon earns money through ads and freemium payments, sharing revenue with independent creators who distribute their comics on the platform. It also makes money from adaptations of its IP. It counts about 150 million users across its comics and other platforms, including Wattpad for web novels, and says users average 30 minutes a day on the platform. As video and audio gobble up an increasing share of Gen Z's media diet, Webtoon thinks cartoons can capture more of its existing users' time and appeal to video-centric Gen Zers. Its video shows are meant to resemble the short, vertical videos that, according to Deloitte's 2025 Digital Media Trends survey, that generation prefers over traditional TV and movies. "We believe that launching this kind of video episode can extend our user audience, especially the Gen Z users who prefer to listen or watch later than read," Yongsoo Kim, chief strategy officer for Webtoon, said in an interview. He declined to identify the tech platforms Webtoon is using to help make the adaptations or say how much he projects the video titles will grow Webtoon's audience. Other media companies are also leaning into the appeal of vertical video, whether by adapting their content to TikTok or exploring the mini-drama trend. Webtoon isn't using AI to make its videos For the videos, Webtoon picked stories representing a variety of genres, like romance and action. Webtoon worked with the creator to produce the videos, adding sound effects, voices provided by real actors, and music. The result falls somewhere in between image-based and fully animated. Creators maintain ownership over the show's underlying IP while they share ownership of the videos with Webtoon. Initially, the video stories will be ad-free and free to watch, though the plan is to add advertising over time. While it seems like every media company is rushing headfirst into AI, especially with animation, Kim stressed that Webtoon isn't using AI to convert the comics into video, in keeping with its belief in respecting creators. Jessica Ramsden is the creator of "Star Catcher," an LGBTQ+-themed comic that is one of the first that Webtoon adapted to video. She said the Webtoon team took her input to make sure the characters and voices fit her vision for the comic, whose protagonist deals with mental health issues, his sister's medical issues, and falling in love. She hopes the adaptation will expand its reach. "I know there's a much broader audience that might not know it exists because they don't read comics," Ramsden said. "I love manga, but there's people who only watch the anime version of it, and this can meet them halfway." She said she was happy that human actors were used instead of AI. "As an artist in general, I'm anti-AI," she said. "The whole part of art is human innovation using your own hands."

Have We Already Met Wednesday's Estranged Aunt Ophelia? ‘There's a Lot to Explore There,' EPs Tease
A number of exciting women are visiting Nevermore Academy when Wednesday Season 2 returns to Netflix for Part 2 on Sept. 3, from the return of Principal Weems (Gwendoline Christie) as Wednesday's new spirit guide to the arrival of Lady Gaga in a not-yet-officially disclosed role. But those aren't the women we want to talk about right now. No, we're more concerned with a particular Frump family member — a character referenced multiple times per episode, yet someone to whom we haven't been properly introduced. That's right, we're talking about Morticia's estranged sister Ophelia, frequently mentioned as a cautionary tale for the dangers of becoming consumed by one's powers. More from TVLine Save the Dates: Thunderbolts* on Disney+, Charlie Sheen and Eminem Documentaries and More Casting News: St. Denis Medical Pages Ariana Madix, Boyd Holbrook Joins Extraction and More Wednesday Part 2 Trailer Brings [Spoiler] Back from the Dead, Teases Lady Gaga's Arrival During Wednesday's visit to Willow Hill Psychiatric Hospital in the midseason finale, she and Uncle Fester stumbled upon an entire wing of patients who had reportedly died, including one woman (played by Mr Selfridge's Frances O'Connor) we can't help but assume is none other than the elusive Ophelia. 'Are you here to kill me?' the woman asked when Wednesday and Fester approached her cell. When they said no, she replied, 'Then leave me alone.' Unfortunately, our assumption will have to remain a theory until Wednesday returns, because the co-showrunners' lips are sealed. 'We can't, you have to keep watching,' Alfred Gough told TVLine when asked if he could confirm that O'Connor is playing Ophelia. Echoed Miles Millar, 'We need a reason for you to keep watching Part 2.' It's worth noting that an official still from Episode 4 identifies O'Connor as 'Francoise,' but that's very possibly a misdirect meant to throw us off Ophelia's trail. Hypothetically, if Ophelia were to officially enter the picture in Part 2, Millar acknowledged that 'there's a lot to explore there [about] a missing member of the family.' He invites viewers to 'imagine the four of them together,' referring to Wednesday, Morticia, Ophelia and Grandmama (Joanna Lumley). 'That would be really interesting. That's something that we tease and the audience can look forward to.' Do you think O'Connor is playing Ophelia? And what's your take on Part 2 in general?
