"Al Mashrue X" Enters All-Time Highest-Grossing Egyptian Film List
Egyptian stars Karim Abdel Aziz and Yasmine Sabri's film "Al Mashrue X" ("Project X") is officially one of the highest-grossing films at the domestic box office.
"Al Mashrue X" hit theatres and IMAX on May 21 and has so far grossed EGP115 million, coming sixth in the highest-grossing films in the history of Egyptian cinema.
The pic features an ensemble cast that includes Eyad Nassar, Mariam El Gendy, Essam El Sakka, Ahmed Ghozzi, and more. Hannah El Zahed and Maged El Kedwany will also make an appearance in the project.
Peter Mimi directed the film from a script he co-wrote with Ahmed Hosny. Synergy Plus is the studio behind the pic.
The film's official logline reads: "When a troubled archaeologist uncovers ancient secrets that could revolutionize the world's energy supply, he becomes the target of a shadowy organization determined to keep the knowledge buried. In a race against time and powerful enemies, he must decide between revealing the truth and protecting his daughter from the deadly forces closing in on them."
"Al Mashrue X" witnesses the first collaboration between Sabri and Mimi and the third between Abdel Aziz and Mimi after the blockbuster film "Beit El Ruby" as well as the hit TV series 'El Ekhteyar S1 & S2" and "Al-Hashashin".
The pic is one of the high-budget projects this year, with the shooting taking place in several countries, including Egypt, Turkey, Spain, and Italy.

Cardi B Drops Single "Imaginary Playerz"
Yara Sameh With just over a month until Cardi B's anticipated sophomore album arrives, the Bronx native follows up 'Outside' with the release of the ' Imaginary Playerz ' single on Friday. The track samples Jay-Z's legendary 'Imaginary Players' from his 1997 In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. Earlier this week, Cardi revealed she received a stamp of approval from Hov. 'If he didn't approve it, I probably wouldn't even feel a certain type of way neither, because it's like, 'OK, maybe I just had to come a little bit harder,'' she said in an X Spaces. 'But I'm glad that I came hard and he loved it.' Cardi announced the single on Monday alongside sharing the opulent cover art, which finds her in a white fur coat and sitting on the front of a matching Rolls-Royce. 'Just a lil taste of the drama. IMAGINARY PLAYERZ THIS FRIDAY,' she wrote on Instagram . It remains to be seen if Cardi will be releasing a third single before the timer expires on her sophomore LP release date. "Am I the Drama?" boasts 23 tracks, including previously released singles 'Up' and 'WAP.' The Grammy-winning rapper defended her decision to keep the pair of years-old songs on the album. 'This will be the last and only time I'm gonna address this,' she wrote on X in June. 'WAP and Up are two of my biggest songs, my fans have been asking me to put them on an album, and people search for them on IOP all the time… they deserve a home.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
