Materialists locks OTT release date: When and where to watch Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal starrer
Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, has finally locked in its digital release date. The romantic comedy, which hit theatres on June 13, grossed over $50 million worldwide and is now headed for on-demand streaming. The film follows a young matchmaker from New York City torn between her imperfectly perfect ex and a picture-perfect new match. Critics gave it a lukewarm response, and fans were quite divided on Celine Song's take on modern love. Starting Tuesday, July 22, the Celine Song directorial will be available for on-demand purchase, A24 Films confirmed to USA Today on Friday. The film is still in its theatrical run and will continue to play in cinemas alongside the digital release. Globally, Materialists will start streaming on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Google TV/YouTube Movies. Apart from that, it will also be made available on Fandango at Home and local cable providers in the US.

On the global front, it pulled in $3.5 million, with a cumulative worldwide haul of $15.5 million. Totalling everything, Materialists made $50 million globally (International: $14,411,692 (28.8%), Domestic: $35,645,793) and earned a Best Picture nod at the Oscars. Apart from the lead actors, the movie also stars Zoë Winters as Sophie, Marin Ireland as Violet, Dasha Nekrasova as Daisy, Louisa Jacobson as Charlotte, Eddie Cahill as Robert, Joseph Lee as Trevor, and John Magaro as Mark P.

Anne Hathaway's Colleen Hoover Thriller ‘Verity' Moves to Fall 2026 Release
Colleen Hoover fans will have to wait until a bit later in 2026 to see the feature adaptation of the author's best-selling thriller novel Verity. Amazon MGM Studios has set director Michael Showalter's film for wide theatrical release on Oct. 2, 2026, after having previously dated the project for May 15, 2026. Anne Hathaway leads a cast that also includes Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, Ismael Cruz Cordóva and Brady Wagner. More from The Hollywood Reporter Guy Ritchie Exits as Director of Amazon's 'Road House 2' Charlie Coleman Joining Amazon MGM Studios as Head of International Theatrical Marketing Silicon Valley Stalks the Cineplex Director Alejandro Iñárritu's untitled Warner Bros. movie starring Tom Cruise is also set for release on Oct. 2, 2026. Nick Antosca wrote the Verity script following the previous work of scribes Hillary Seitz, Angela LaManna and the team of Will Honley and April Maguire. Producers include Hathaway, Hoover, Showalter, Antosca, Alex Hedlund, Stacey Sher and Jordana Mollick. Verity centers on struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), who is hired by Jeremy Crawford (Hartnett) to complete the remaining books in a series penned by his wife, author Verity Crawford (Hathaway), after she suffers a mysterious accident. Lowen soon learns that a secret unfinished manuscript may reveal clues about the family's past.

To tell someone and, you know, given your history,' Edebiri asks Roberts at one point in the trailer. 'What does that mean, my history?' Roberts responds with what becomes a key point in the feature from Imagine Entertainment as her own past threatens to be revealed. At first Gibson accuses Price of plagiarism. But at another point in the teaser, an increasingly desperate Gibson tells Olsson 'you know the truth, and you won't say it, because it'll make you look bad.' The trailer ends with Edebiri telling Roberts, 'I don't feel comfortable having this conversation with you anymore.' And Roberts responds with a tagline for the movie: 'Not everything is supposed to make you feel comfortable.'

Gregg Wallace's ‘MasterChef' Co-Host John Torode Reveals Himself To Be Person Accused Of Using Racist Language
John Torode, Gregg Wallace's MasterChef co-presenter, has revealed himself to be the person accused of using racist language in the report published today into Wallace's behavior. Taking to Instagram, Torode said 'for the sake of transparency I can confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion.' More from Deadline BBC Shelves L.A. Wildfires Documentary From 'Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone' Director Jamie Roberts UK Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy Cools Attacks On BBC, Praising "Big Strides" In Gripping Crises BBC Says Individuals Were Present At Glastonbury Who Had "Authority" To Cut Bob Vylan Feed Torode, who along with Wallace has presented MasterChef for 20 years, said the incident is alleged to have happened in 2018 or 2019, but he has 'absolutely no recollection of this and I do not believe that it happened.' 'However I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment,' he added. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegations as I would never wish to cause anyone offence.' Torode came forward around 12 hours after the independent report published into Wallace's behavior, which substantiated 45 of the 83 allegations made against Wallace, whose position hosting MasterChef was described as 'untenable' by the boss of MasterChef production company Banijay UK. Wallace has apologized but reiterated his view that 'none of the serious allegations against me were upheld.' Aside from Wallace, the report said 10 standalone allegations were made against other people over the period 2012 to 2019, with two of these having been substantiated, one of whom Torode is now revealing to be himself. The other was over a complaint of 'swearing' and Banijay has said it is dealing with both. In its own statement, the BBC said it 'takes these findings very seriously and we have asked Banijay UK to take action to address these issues, which is underway. This will be completed as a priority.' Torode struck up a close relationship with Wallace over their two decades presenting MasterChef. When allegations against Wallace first emerged late last year, Torode said he found them 'truly upsetting.'

12-year-old boy heading to British Transplant Games
A 12-year-old boy from Ferndown is heading to Oxford at the British Transplant Games later this month. It will be the third time Albie has competed in the Games since undergoing a life-saving transplant after suffering acute liver failure in 2021. Albie, who has always been sporty, will be taking part in the tennis, table tennis, football and athletics competitions and will be joined by his mum and three brothers for the donor run, a huge celebration of the gift of organ donation. The event has become a fixture in the family's calendar since Albie received his liver transplant. His mother Verity said: 'It gives us a chance to celebrate him and how brave he is. 'He gets to be with other children who take the same immunosuppressant medication, who have to deal with hospitals and tests on a regular basis and who all have massive scars. "He's no longer the odd one out, like he is in his everyday life. "It's great for me as a parent and his brothers to be with other parents and siblings who have to care for a transplanted child, to share stories and advice. "And it's really encouraging for me to see older children and adults who have gone on to lead a normal healthy life after a liver transplant. 'We'll also get to catch up with the team from Children's Liver Disease Foundation who have provided us with information and support since Albie received his transplant. It's important in these situations to know that you're not alone.' Michelle Wilkins, head of children's and families services at Children's Liver Disease Foundation, said: 'The Transplant Games is a wonderful example of what organ donation really means. 'We're really looking forward to catching up with families we have supported over many years and seeing the fantastic progress their children have made. "We know how much Albie loves his sport, so we have high hopes we'll be celebrating some medals!' Children's Liver Disease Foundation, which has now merged with the British Liver Trust, provides services to children and adults with liver disease by providing support services, information, and research funding.
