BLACKPINK to release new mini-album in November? YG Entertainment reacts to comeback news: ‘Will announce…'
New BLACKPINK music? Yes please! The quartet, known for releasing chart-topping music for the last nine years, recently dropped a comeback single track Jump, which has been on the hearts and minds of K-pop fans around the world. While fans were reeling from the hit that is JUMP, which was worked on by Diplo, there are rumors of the group releasing a mini-album soon. On August 11, a My Daily report claimed that BLACKPINK 's first album in three years since BORN PINK in September 2022, will be revealed to the fans. YG Entertainment gave a very diplomatic response, sharing that the right updates will be revealed in the coming days. BLACKPINK gears up for comeback after 3 years According to the initial report, the BLACKPINK members have already completed the jacket photoshoot for the album, and they plan to finish recording new songs and complete all the remaining work within the two months that they have left vacant in between their packed tour schedule. After ending their European leg of the DEADLINE World Tour in London with two concerts on August 15 and 16, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa will have a couple of months on their hands. The news shared by an insider quoted their plans as, "BLACKPINK will release an album within this year. Originally, they were aiming for an October release, but the schedule has changed, and they are planning to release it in November and possibly perform on music shows." In a response to Newsen, the group's management label, YG Entertainment, said, 'We will announce details through official promotions at a later date.' This more or less means confirmation from the agency's end; however, it remains to be seen how the idea pans out over the next few months. Their last record, a whopping 38 months ago, was the studio album BORN PINK, which included the title track Shut Down and managed to rip all charts to pieces to broken records.

Hollywood horror 'Weapons' scores big at the box-office, mints $42.5 million domestically from 3,202 theatres
The film's success also handed its distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures, the seventh No. 1 opening of the year, and became the studio's sixth film in a row to debut with over $40 million domestically read more It's August, and horror and humour came to play. In a month that's long been known to let edgier movies thrive, Zach Cregger's highly anticipated horror film 'Weapons' did not disappoint, topping the box office during its debut weekend with $42.5 million domestically from 3,202 theaters. It made $70 million internationally. The film's success also handed its distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures, the seventh No. 1 opening of the year, and became the studio's sixth film in a row to debut with over $40 million domestically. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Freakier Friday,' Disney's chaotic sequel to the 2003 classic, 'Freaky Friday,' took the second spot during its premiere weekend, earning $29 million in 3,975 North American theaters. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return, this time for a double body-swapping between the mother-daughter duo and Lohan's teen daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter. Viral marketing tactics, coupled with strong social media word-of-mouth, boded well for both films' success, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the data firm Comscore. 'The top two films could not be more different, and that's what makes this weekend so appealing for moviegoers,' Dergarabedian said. 'Both are perfectly tailored for their audiences to react in real time over the weekend to these films and then post on social media.' 'Weapons' transports audiences to the small town of Maybrook, where 17 kids up and leave their homes at 2:17 a.m., leaving bewildered parents in their wake. The town is left to navigate the lingering effects of trauma through horror, paranoia and a touch of existential humor. The film is Cregger's follow-up to his solo directorial debut with the 2022 genre-bending horror, 'Barbarian.' That critically-acclaimed film had a slower start and smaller budget, but still topped the charts during its premiere with $10 million domestically and made a splash in the genre. 'Weapons' generated a lot of buzz for its strong reviews (95% on Rotten Tomatoes). 'The Internet's exploding right now between Friday and today. You just see that people are having a great time with it,' said Jeffrey Goldstein, president of Global Distribution for Warner Bros. 'It starts with an exceptional movie, an exceptional marketing campaign, and the date was exceptional too.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The success of the comedy-horror double premiere meant 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' surrendered its two-week run in the top spot and landed in the third position, bringing in $15.5 million domestically. The superhero movie enjoyed a strong $118 million debut, but stumbled in its second weekend. 'The Bad Guys 2,' which got a healthy start at the No. 2 spot during its premiere weekend, came in fourth place, earning $10.4 million domestically. 'The Naked Gun' had a similar fate, reaching the fifth position with $8.4 million in North American theaters. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' which came in seventh this week, is expected to hit $800 million globally by Monday, according to NBC Universal, following a successful run in theaters. Warner Bros. started off slow this year, but made a comeback with the box-office hit, 'A Minecraft Movie,' which opened with $157 million domestically. Since then, movies like 'Sinners,' 'Superman' and now, 'Weapons,' have found success. The studio set 'a blueprint to how to create a perfect summer lineup,' Dergarabedian said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Weapons 'also joins a stream of successful horror movies this year, its opening numbers coming in just behind 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' and 'Sinners.'
