Box Office: Kingdom flops in North America; Vijay Deverakonda shifts focus to VD24
Kingdom Flops In North America With An Expected USD 1.75 Million Closing
Kingdom started well in North America, with excellent occupancies on the premiere day. The North America distributor Shloka Entertainment failed in giving the movie, the number of screens and shows that it deserved on the premiere day. After the mixed initial response, Kingdom was never able to pick up and it looks to end its run with a total gross of around USD 1.75 million in North America.
Kingdom Will End Up As A Rare Biggie That Incurs Losses To Producers
The Gowtam Tinnanuri movie has barely doubled its premiere numbers and this is never good news. Most movies with excellent premieres should be looking to triple the premiere numbers and that has unfortunately not happened. Kingdom is rare movie where even producers will lose money. Even non-theatrical rights won't be enough for the movie to recover the theatrical losses.
Vijay Deverakonda Shifts Focus To Upcoming Biggies After Kingdom Failure
Vijay Deverakonda movies onto his next couple of biggies which he announced on his last birthday. They are both massive movies with a big supporting cast. The actor will hope that these films click so that he can get back to winning ways. The fact that he is still able to deliver big openings, proves that there is audience pulling power in him. It's all about harnessing this pull to deliver blockbusters.
Tollywood Is Having A Forgettable 2025
Tollywood has had a horrible 2025. Only Sankranthiki Vasthunam, Hit 3 and a couple of other small movies have been able to emerge hits. The major stars are not having frequent releases and that is hurting the business. All eyes are on dubbed releases War 2 and Coolie to bring some respite.

Taylor Swift Makes More From One Concert Than BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Earns in a Year
Taylor Swift's concert earnings can outshine the yearly paycheck of one of the most powerful executives in finance. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who has led the global investment firm since 1988, took home USD 36.7 million in total compensation in 2024. Yet, the pop superstar can make more than that from just a single performance. Fink's pay package includes a USD 1.5 million base salary, alongside cash bonuses and stock awards. According to Fortune, his 2024 total was 33% higher than the previous year. BlackRock, founded in 1988, is one of the largest asset management companies in the world, serving clients like Microsoft and Credit Suisse. How much does Taylor Swift make per concert? Swift, who has 12 No. 1 hits and 59 top-10 Billboard tracks, continues to set records in the music industry. Her Eras Tour reportedly grossed over USD 3.2 billion, making it the highest-grossing tour in U.S. music history. Reports estimate she earned around USD 13.6 million per show during the tour, nearly nine times Fink's base salary. In 2024, Taylor Swift also performed six exclusive shows in Singapore, earning about USD 3 million for each. Even at that lower figure, her per-show earnings still doubled Fink's annual base salary. Here's how Taylor Swift's tour earnings compare to CEO pay Comparing Fink's full USD 36.7 million package to Swift's tour earnings still places the pop singer ahead. Her debut Fearless Tour in 2009 grossed USD 66.5 million, over USD 30 million more than Fink's total annual compensation. While Fink has built a USD 1.3 billion net worth over decades leading BlackRock, Swift has already surpassed him. Forbes reported in 2024 that she holds a USD 1.6 billion fortune, making her the world's richest female musician. Swift began her career in country music before successfully transitioning to pop, amassing a global fan base. Her ability to draw massive crowds and deliver record-breaking tours has made her one of the highest-paid entertainers in the world. For Fink, running a company with a presence in 30 countries comes with substantial rewards. For Swift, stepping on stage for just one night can match, or even surpass, the earnings of a top Wall Street CEO for an entire year.

Hollywood stars Zendaya and Tom Holland are spending the summer in England, balancing packed filming schedules with relaxed moments together. The engaged couple, whose engagement was confirmed in January, were recently photographed walking through London's Richmond Park on August 2. Zendaya wore a baby pink sweater, oversized black shorts, white socks, and lace-up Mary Jane sneakers for the outing. She also sported her five-carat old mine cut diamond engagement ring, estimated at USD 120,000, on her left hand as per E! News. Tom Holland kept it casual in a light blue T-shirt, black pants, sneakers, and a red cap featuring his nonalcoholic beer company, Bero. The couple walked their dogs, Zendaya's miniature schnauzer Noon and Tom's new pup Daphne, while chatting casually. Tom Holland and Zendaya's engagement details The proposal took place quietly between Christmas and New Year at one of Zendaya's family homes. Holland's father, Dominic Holland, shared on Patreon in January that his son was 'very incredibly well prepared' for the big moment. 'He had purchased a ring. He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter,' Dominic wrote. 'Tom had everything planned out…When, where, how, what to say, what to wear.' Here's how the couple is spending time in England Alongside their off-duty walks, the couple were seen in London's Gerrards Cross on Friday. Holland was filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, reportedly shooting a scene of Peter Parker visiting Aunt May's grave. Zendaya, whose character MJ had an emotional ending in the last film, visited the set to see him. They also stopped at local Indian restaurant Caraway Café, which posted on Instagram: 'Homework can wait, Gerrards Cross can't! Thrilled to be visited by the amazing @tomholland2013 and the ever so beautiful @zendaya…a moment our team will always cherish!' Zendaya's longtime stylist Law Roach told E! News last month that wedding planning hasn't started yet. 'Zendaya is working on so many movies. She's now filming the next iteration of Dune, so she's away doing that. It's so many movies, so we have time. We have a lot of time,' he said. The couple's work commitments include Dune: Part Three, Euphoria season three, The Odyssey, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland has been filming major action scenes in Glasgow, which has been transformed into downtown New York for the Marvel sequel.
