BLACKPINK's DEADLINE World Tour Setlist: Every Song From the First Show
At long last, the members of BLACKPINK finally took the stage as a unit again in Goyang, South Korea, kicking off their first trek in two years with the opening night of their DEADLINE World Tour on Saturday (July 5). More from Billboard Pearl Jam Drummer Matt Cameron Is Leaving the Band 'After 27 Fantastic Years' Ed Sheeran Covers 'Teenage Dirtbag,' His 'Favorite Song of All Time,' With Wheatus Singer Brendan B. Brown Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong Celebrates 4th of July With 'F-k Donald Trump' Chant in Belgium Appearing in front of thousands of fans at Goyang Stadium, ROSÉ, LISA, JENNIE and JISOO performed a number of songs from the girl group's discography, including several of their Billboard Hot 100 hits. It marked one of the first times BLINKs have gotten to see smashes such as 'Lovesick Girls,' 'Pink Venom' and 'How You Like That' performed live since the Born Pink World Tour ended in 2023, after which the members took some time apart to focus on solo projects before finally announcing their reunion in February. And in addition to performing as a band on opening night, the foursome also dedicated time in the setlist for each member to showcase some of the solo material they worked on during the group's break. Each taking the stage sans their bandmates at different points in the show, JISOO shared songs from her EP Amortage, while LISA, JENNIE and ROSÉ performed selections from their debut solo albums — Alter Ego, Ruby and rosie, respectively. But what was perhaps most exciting for fans in the crowd was the debut of a brand new BLACKPINK song titled 'Jump,' which the ladies actually performed twice Saturday night. Though it hasn't yet been officially released, the track — which they teased the night before the show — marks the quartet's first new song since 2022's Billboard 200-topping album Born Pink and 2023's 'The Girls' for Blackpink the Game — and according to hints some of the members have dropped in recent months, more new music is coming soon. BLACKPINK will now spend most of the rest of this year and the first month of 2026 touring through North America, Europe and Asia. As the group travels the globe, check out the songs on the DEADLINE World Tour setlist — as it was laid out on Night 1 — and the respective LPs they come from Kill This Love EP (2019) Album: Born Pink (2022) Album: The Album (2020) Album: Square Two EP (2016) Album: Born Pink (2022) Album: Amortage EP (2025) Album: Alter Ego (2025) Album: The Album (2020) Album: Kill This Love EP (2019) Album: Square One EP (2016) Album: Square Two EP (2016) Album: The Album (2020) Album: Ruby (2025) Album: rosie (2024)Album: N/A Album: Square One EP (2016) Album: Square Up EP (2018) Album: N/A Album: Square Up EP (2018) Album: N/A Album: Square Up EP (2018) Best of Billboard Chart Rewind: In 1989, New Kids on the Block Were 'Hangin' Tough' at No. 1 Janet Jackson's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits H.E.R. & Chris Brown 'Come Through' to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay Chart

JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH Stomps to $147 Million Over July Fourth Weekend, but Can It Carry a New Trilogy? — GeekTyrant
Universal's Jurassic World Rebirth opened to $147.3 million domestically over its first five days, easily dominating the Fourth of July box office. Playing in 4,308 North American theaters, the film's $91.5 million traditional weekend haul put it comfortably in first place. While the numbers are solid, they do mark a noticeable decline from previous entries in the 32-year-old franchise. For comparison, 2015's Jurassic World stomped out of the gate with a massive $208 million debut weekend. Its sequels, Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Dominion (2022), pulled $148 million and $145 million, respectively, during their three-day openings. In five-day totals, the new film lags even further behind: Jurassic World hit $258 million, Fallen Kingdom brought in $181 million, and Dominion reached $172 million. Rebirth's drop reflects the wear and tear of a franchise that's been through a lot of evolutionary cycles since Jurassic Park first roared onto screens in 1993. Still, Universal was smart to rein in costs this time. While the previous World films carried price tags close to $250 million, Rebirth was made for a relatively modest $180 million (not including marketing). That number makes profitability more attainable, even if this installment doesn't crack the billion-dollar mark like its predecessors. Universal is hoping this latest entry, which features Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, and Mahershala Ali, will kick off a brand-new trilogy. The global response so far supports that hope. Overseas, Jurassic World Rebirth pulled in a thunderous $171 million across 82 markets, bringing its worldwide debut to $318 million. As David A. Gross of FranchiseRe puts it, 'The series has been especially good overseas and, so far, foreign business is outstanding. Dinosaur action is understood in all languages and across all cultures.' Directed by Rogue One 's Gareth Edwards and written by Jurassic Park 's original screenwriter David Koepp, Rebirth shifts the formula with a tighter focus. The plot follows a covert mission tied to dinosaur DNA and its potential as a wonder drug. It's a slightly more grounded, espionage-flavored take, but still packed with teeth and spectacle. Critically, it's faring better than the Chris Pratt-led trilogy. Word-of-mouth seems to be helping, with Universal's president of domestic distribution Jim Orr stating: ' Jurassic World Rebirth is exactly what audiences want to see in a summer blockbuster: a great cast, great direction and great visuals. Word of mouth is phenomenal, which points to a great run throughout the summer.' The film didn't face much competition. Its biggest rival was F1 , Brad Pitt's racing thriller, which skidded into second place with $26.1 million in its second weekend, which is a 54% dip. Still, that brings its North American total to $109 million and $293.6 million globally, making it Apple's highest-grossing theatrical release to date. In third, Universal's live-action How to Train Your Dragon remake added $9.7 million, bringing its worldwide total to $516 million. Pixar's Elio took fourth with $4.9 million, though with a global total of $96 million, it's on track to be one of Pixar's lowest-grossing films. Rounding out the top five , 28 Years Later dropped 64% to earn $4.6 million, pushing its global haul to $125.8 million. Meanwhile, Disney's Lilo & Stitch remake is quietly becoming a monster hit, nearing the $1 billion milestone with $972 million worldwide. Naturally, a sequel is already in development. After a strong Fourth of July stretch, the 2025 box office is now tracking 14% ahead of last year, though it's still over 25% shy of pre-pandemic levels in 2019. As Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian noted, 'With the Fourth of July holiday floating around the calendar, apples-to-apples comparisons become a bit difficult, [but] this will be one of the better Independence Day frames for cinemas. The combination of films in this theatrical marketplace is impressive.' Jurassic World Rebirth may not be a record-breaker, but it's clearly alive and kicking. Now the real question is: can it keep the momentum going? I loved Rebirth, so I'm looking forward to see what come next in the franchise. Via: Variety

Pom Klementieff Reportedly Leading New DCU Series, and She Might Be Playing Huntress — GeekTyrant
Pom Klementieff is making the leap from Marvel to DC, and this time she's not just passing through. The Guardians of the Galaxy actress is reportedly set to lead a new DCU live-action TV series, according to Nexus Point News. While details are still being locked down, it sounds like James Gunn is once again teaming up with one of his MCU alums for something big. This wouldn't be Klementieff's first brush with the DC world. She had a silent cameo in The Suicide Squad back in 2021, but if this new project pans out, it'll mark her full-fledged entry into Gunn's freshly rebooted DC Universe. So who's she playing? Word is, Klementieff has been tapped to portray Helena Bertinelli, aka Huntress, a fan-favorite vigilante who previously appeared in Birds of Prey , where she was played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The character first appeared in the 1989 Huntress comic by Joey Cavalieri and Joe Staton and has remained a gritty, complex staple of the Bat-family ever since. The report adds that this version of Huntress will be half-Korean and half-Italian, offering a fresh spin on the character's backstory. That makes the rumored involvement of South Korean filmmaker Jung Byung-gil ( The Villainess ) even more exciting. If this is true, he'll be serving as writer and director. Nothing's been officially confirmed yet because, as the report notes, 'there hasn't been a formal deal in place.' Fans have started speculating after Klementieff was seen visiting the set of Peacemaker Season 2. Could she show up there first before launching into her own series? It wouldn't be the first time Gunn introduced a new character that way. Whether or not the Huntress news is true, this much is clear, Gunn is building a new DC Universe, and it makes sense that he would want to work with Klementieff again.
