‘Ballerina' targets $35 million opening in box-office clash with ‘Lilo & Stitch'
This weekend sees the debut of just one major new film: Lionsgate's From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, which is set to claim the top spot at the box office. The spinoff, starring Ana de Armas (and with franchise star Keanu Reeves making a brief appearance) is projected to open with strong numbers — with estimates ranging from $35 million to $40 million — as it battles Disney's Lilo & Stitch for first place. Directed by Len Wiseman, the action-packed film earned approximately $4 million during previews, according to Deadline, and its performance is likely to benefit from the increasing popularity of the John Wick series. Early reviews have been positive, with the movie holding a 72 percent "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 145 reviews and an impressive audience score of 93 percent. Ballerina is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, following de Armas' character, Eve Macarro — a dancer who transforms into an assassin and seeks revenge for her father's death.

The quirky, star-studded comedy is expected to land in fourth place, trailing Lilo & Stitch and Paramount's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Meanwhile, Sony's Karate Kid: Legends rounds out the weekend's top five. Gold Derby readers predict that Ballerina will win the June 6-8 weekend with between $25 million and $50 million domestically. Lilo & Stitch is the runner-up selection of our oddsmakers. NEW RELEASES Director: Len Wiseman Distributor: Lionsgate An assassin trained in the traditions of the Ruska Roma organization sets out to seek revenge after her father's death. The action thriller, starring Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, and Gabriel Byrne (with a cameo by Keanu Reeves), has a running time of two hours, five minutes, and is rated R. Ballerina is certified "fresh" with a 72 percent score per the aggregated critic reviews at Rotten Tomatoes; "mixed" reviews compiled by Metacritic resulted in an overall score of 59 percent. BOX-OFFICE PREDICTIONS Ballerina is poised to pirouette its way to the top of the box office with an estimated opening of $35 million to $40 million. This would mark the third-best debut in the franchise, surpassing John Wick's $14 million in 2014 and John Wick: Chapter 2's $30.4 million in 2017. However, it falls short of overtaking John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019) and John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), which opened to $56.8 million and $73.8 million, respectively. Meanwhile, Lilo & Stitch, which recently passed the $300 million milestone, is expected to hold steady in second place with earnings between $30 million and $35 million. In third place, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning is projected to add $15 million to its total. The Phoenician Scheme is expected to move up to fourth place with $9 million, while Karate Kid: Legends will round out the top five with an estimated $8 million in its second week. Here are Gold Derby's predictions box-office rankings for the top five: 1. Ballerina 2. Lilo & Stitch 3. Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning 4. The Phoenician Scheme 5.

Patricia Arquette's ‘Severance' character talks like that because ‘she thinks that's what power sounds like'
Even after two seasons of Severance, Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) remains an enigma. The woman occasionally known as 'Mrs. Selvig' seems like the ultimate example of Lumon's management style, and yet she herself is constantly at loggerheads with her superiors. She apparently invented the severance procedure as we know it, and yet helps Mark Scout (Adam Scott) break through it. Many mysteries remain as Severance fans look forward to Season 3, but certain things about Cobel can be explained in the meantime. In a new interview with Gold Derby, Arquette says that she is responsible for both the character's look and her mannered way of speaking. More from GoldDerby 'Ballerina' targets $35 million opening in box-office clash with 'Lilo & Stitch' 'Brilliant Minds' creator Michael Grassi on how his love of Oliver Sacks inspired NBC's new medical drama The Making of 'The Eyes of the World: From D-Day to VE Day': PBS variety special 'comes from the heart' READ: 'When I was first thinking of building that character, I saw her with silver hair, white hair,' Arquette says. 'I felt like her hair should be a little older than she is. But also I wanted to have this affected, weird voice. I liked this idea that she's got this affected voice because she thinks that's what power sounds like. That's what these middle managers sound like. It's probably something she heard in school and you hear it a little bit from her aunt when you see the squalor she actually grew up in. So this is a made-up voice, a voice of success, and it's become this corporate sound.' Arquette continues, 'there's also an inscrutability when you're raised in an organization or structure [like Lumon], where you're not supposed to feel your feelings. You're supposed to swallow your feelings and you're not supposed to tell everyone what's going on or you'll get in trouble. You learn to play things close to the vest. I don't think Harmony's ever been really safe in her life anywhere or with anyone. And then when we went to Salt's Neck, it was like, 'Wow, this is a very Bergman-looking color palette, with actual icebergs floating by.' If your character looked like a piece of nature, she would look like an iceberg.' Cobel was not as prominent in Severance Season 2 as she was in Season 1, since she lost her position both at Lumon and as Mark's next-door neighbor. But she was able to take the spotlight in the episode 'Sweet Vitriol,' in which viewers followed Cobel back to her hometown of Salt's Neck — once the location of a major Lumon ether factory, now a left-behind wasteland full of poverty and addiction. Among other things, the episode revealed that Cobel basically invented the severance chip, despite getting little credit for it. It seems like a paradox that the Lumon employee responsible for its most important technology also defies upper management as often as Harmony does, but Arquette says that paradox is central to Severance. 'It may seem like a perversion, but honestly, her interior unresolved story informs the creation of the severance chip,' Arquette says. 'She's trying to prove something through this thing. There is a synchronicity between the severance chip and her interior landscape. They are very closely wedded to each other, these two things. It's not accidental.' The epidemic of ether addiction that pervades present-day Salt Neck is also no accident. Think of it, Arquette says, like an earlier attempt at separating people's work memories from the rest of their life. 'Ben [Stiller] wanted this rotting factory town,' Arquette says of Salt Neck. 'This is an early version of Lumon's attempt to create a corporate town, and these are the vestiges left over after the poisoning of the water and the ether factory and everyone becoming addicts. In a weird way, ether is an early form of severance. It's like the drug of forgetting. So what if you could forget, like with ether, but without the drug? Well then you would need a chip, and that's severance.'

NCIS Season 23: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 6, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 6, 2025, 12:41 IST NCIS , the long-running CBS procedural drama, continues to captivate audiences with its compelling mix of crime-solving, character-driven storytelling, and military intrigue. With Season 22 concluding on May 5, 2025, fans are eagerly anticipating NCIS Season 23. Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more. NCIS Season 23 Release Date Speculation CBS confirmed the renewal of NCIS for Season 23 in February 2025, alongside other franchise shows like NCIS: Origins and NCIS: Sydney . While an exact premiere date has not been announced, the series has historically been a fall staple. Based on previous seasons, such as Season 22's premiere on October 14, 2024, and industry reports, NCIS Season 23 is expected to debut in late September or early October 2025. Some reports speculate a potential premiere as early as August 11, 2025, though this seems optimistic given CBS's typical scheduling. The show will likely return to its new Tuesday 8/7c slot, following its shift from Mondays in the 2025-2026 lineup, as noted by TV Insider . NCIS Season 23 Cast: Who's Returning? The NCIS Season 23 cast is expected to feature the core team from Season 22, as no major departures were reported following the finale. The main cast members likely to return include: Gary Cole as Supervisory Special Agent Alden Parker Sean Murray as Senior Special Agent Timothy McGee Wilmer Valderrama as Special Agent Nicholas 'Nick' Torres Katrina Law as Special Agent Jessica Knight Brian Dietzen as Dr. Jimmy Palmer Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance NCIS Season 23 Plot Details: What to Expect? As a procedural drama, NCIS Season 23 will likely continue its case-of-the-week format, with each episode introducing standalone mysteries tied to Navy or Marine Corps crimes. However, the Season 22 finale set up a significant overarching narrative that will drive Season 23's plot, particularly centered on Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and his pursuit of Carla Marino (Rebecca De Mornay). The Season 22 finale revealed a devastating twist: Carla Marino, Parker's longtime nemesis, is likely responsible for the murder of his father, Roman Parker (Francis X. McCarthy), as suggested by a lipstick stain on a wine glass. This personal tragedy will push Parker into 'very dark places,' according to TV Insider , setting the stage for an emotionally charged arc. The team's hunt for Marino, connected to a high-stakes plot involving stolen nuclear material and the Nexus cartel, will likely dominate the season's narrative.
