In Christmas, ‘The Color Purple’ surpasses ‘Aquaman 2’ at the American box office

As a result, the musical made an impressive US$18.1 million at the box office, pushing the DC film into second place, with US$10.6 million grossed. With this, The Color Purple had the second best opening for a film released at Christmas, behind only Sherlock Holmes, which made US$24.6 million in 2009.

It’s worth remembering that the weekend between December 21st and 24th, Aquaman 2 topped the American box office, but had a lower-than-expected result, with one of the worst openings for a film from the DCEU, the DC extended universe.

Architectural firm recommends demolition of Old Trafford, home of Manchester United

The official purchase of part of Manchester United by billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe once again places the renovation of Old Trafford as one of the priorities for the club in the coming years, as the agreement made by the businessman also foresees an investment exclusively destined for the stadium.

However, the architecture company responsible for reviewing the project points out that just a redesign may not be the best choice for the legendary stage, indicating the demolition of the ‘theater of dreams’.

Therefore, in an interview with “Telegraph”, Chris Lee, executive president of Populous, the company that also built Tottenham’s new stadium, pointed out that the costs of renovation could even exceed the costs of building a stadium from scratch. 

“I wouldn’t say it suits me, but I feel that new construction could end up being the most economical solution. Yes, the initial investment is obviously the highest of the three options, but there is a lot of land to develop there. United could continue to use the current land while construction is underway,” Lee said.

Furthermore, the architect indicated that, in this way, United would not have an abrupt drop in revenue from game days, with ticket sales, official products and food items, among others. This would be possible because the club owns land much larger than the Old Trafford space.

Thus, they could build a new stadium practically next to their current home, which would continue to be used while the new construction progressed.

“Architecturally, in the available space you could do something really innovative and exciting. There would be no space constraints.”

With this, the architectural company would have indicated three options so that United can have a modern stadium: a structural renovation of the entire stadium; the remodeling of the ground with the expansion of the south stand; or the demolition of the current structure and the construction of a new stadium.

It is worth remembering that the Glazer family, which has controlled the club for decades, already had a renovation of Old Trafford in its plans and had begun a review of the local structure. However, the project did not progress as expected, given the uncertainty about the future of the businessmen’s domain, harshly criticized by the fans.

In this way, the way was open for British businessman Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who is a United fan, but who would only buy 25% of the club. The process for the sale stretched over months but was confirmed to be complete on Christmas Eve.

The club have indicated that Ratcliffe’s investment will be around £1.25 billion and guarantees the businessman control over the institution’s football. As part of the deal, he will provide a £237 million fund for investment at Old Trafford.

Mariah Carey breaks up with dancer

One of the most iconic voices of Christmas, Mariah Carey celebrated this year’s holiday single.

As reported by Page Six, the “All I Want for Christmas is You” singer ended her relationship with dancer Bryan Tanaka.

The couple had been together since 2016, having met during rehearsals for the artist’s shows, with Bryan acting as a choreographer on her team since mid-2006.

According to information from the North American website, the reason for the breakup was Bryan’s desire to be a father. “He wants to start a family, and that’s something she doesn’t want. Bryan is eager to start a new phase in his life,” a source revealed to Page Six. Mariah Carey, aged 54, is the mother of 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, from her marriage to actor Nick Cannon.

Diaz, who has been married since 2015 to musician Benji Madden, guitarist for Good Charlotte, revealed the idea of ​​having separate houses, with the family residence in the middle.

“For me, I would literally have my house and he would have his,” commented Diaz, responding to one of the presenters’ observation about her husband’s snoring. “We would have the family house in the middle. I would sleep in my room. You would sleep in your room. All good”.

Diaz added nonchalantly, “And we would have the room in the middle just to meet for our relations.” Between laughs, Katherine Power, Cameron’s partner in his wine brand, joked, suggesting that perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to expose this unconventional wedding routine in public. “It’s already been said,” Diaz responded with a laugh. “In fact, we don’t practice this currently because my husband is wonderful. But I already supported this idea even before we got married.”

Organized Liverpool fans express their disquiet over Klopp’s concerns about the lack of enthusiasm at Anfield

Liverpool fans, known as the “Spirit of Shankly”, have announced that they have nothing to add to Jurgen Klopp’s criticism of the lack of vibrant atmosphere at Anfield. The organization pointed to the high cost of tickets, which have become prohibitive for young fans who wish to attend the stadium.

Last week, Klopp expressed his dissatisfaction with the atmosphere at Anfield during the League Cup game against West Ham (5-1). He called for more active support from the stands for the upcoming home game against Premier League leaders Arsenal, emphasizing the importance of fan engagement. Furthermore, Klopp suggested that if some fans are not willing to participate, they should give their tickets to someone else.

The “Spirit of Shankly” expressed concern not only about the lack of passion at Anfield, but also about the negotiations that have begun with the club to address this issue. The group stressed that it did not disagree with Klopp’s remarks about the atmosphere at the stadium and highlighted the importance of Anfield’s unique atmosphere, known as the “Anfield effect”.

The fans’ organization attributes part of the responsibility for the situation to the ticket sales policy adopted by the club, pointing out that high prices exclude young fans, resulting in a change in the demographics of stadium-goers. The “Spirit of Shankly” expressed concern about the lack of opportunities for young people to experience the passion at the stadium and preserve the culture of the Kop, which has existed for decades. On the other hand, Klopp commented on the recent decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in relation to the Super League, a project that he completely disapproves of. Although he criticizes the Superliga, the coach points out that UEFA and FIFA have received a warning that they cannot act arbitrarily, a point that he does not view with displeasure.

“Stephen Curry is one of the best in the NBA,” says Shaquille O’Neal

Everyone has their own list of the greatest NBA players of all time. While it’s rare to reach unanimity, the consensus generally includes around seven to eight names in the top 10. However, Shaquille O’Neal expresses the opinion that Stephen Curry already deserves a place among the league’s elite, going further and suggesting that the point guard surpassed even iconic figures like himself.

“I’m considering it, although I haven’t said it categorically yet. Stephen Curry has consistently shown himself to be the best shooter throughout his career. I’m considering putting him as the best player of all time. Yes, above me. He He’s my favorite player,” Shaq said.

Despite this perspective, ESPN’s latest rankings, in July 2022, placed Shaquille O’Neal as the 11th and Stephen Curry as the 16th best player. Although this list is not official, it is widely followed. However, rankings change annually, with each achievement. It is plausible that, at the end of his career, Curry will join the select group of the ten best. The uncertainty lies in the fact that Curry has not set a deadline for retiring from the NBA.

“I’ve played for 20 years, watched another 20 before that, and I’ve never seen anyone like him. He’s consistently performed and has titles. I’m not declaring he’s the best, but it’s time to include him in the conversation about the greatest players of all time,” concluded Shaq. Recently, Stephen Curry reached the remarkable mark of 3500 three-pointers, leading in this aspect in the NBA since December 2021, when he surpassed Ray Allen as the greatest scorer of all time in this regard.

“I need to fight for fractions of what male directors receive”, says Sofia Coppola

Sofia Coppola commented on the difficulties of being a female filmmaker who makes films independently. The American director is currently promoting her new film, ‘Priscilla’, which had a budget of around US$20 million — very low by Hollywood standards.

++ After 95 years, the first Mickey Mouse short will enter the public domain

“I see these men getting millions of dollars, and I need to fight for a small fraction of that,” she said in an interview with the BBC. “I think this is due to the culture of this medium. It’s frustrating, but I’m always fighting to get [the money] and I’m happy to make my films independently and find people who believe in them.”

Coppola, however, believes there is a creative advantage to making independent films without ties to big studios: “There is challenge and freedom in making a small film, because if you have a big budget, you have a lot of input from studio executives, and I could never make a film like that.”

“So I have this freedom,” he continued, before focusing on Priscilla’s behind the scenes: “You have to be very cunning; it was difficult, but I had the best team. We managed to reuse the sets, and I don’t even know how we made so many costumes ! Everyone helped, and I had very creative department heads.”

‘Priscilla’ follows the story of Priscilla Presley, who was married to Elvis between 1967 and 1973. Read the film’s synopsis: “When teenager Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who was already a rock superstar becomes someone completely unexpected in private moments: an exciting passion, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend. 

Through the eyes of Priscilla, Sofia Coppola tells the invisible side of a great American myth during Elvis’ long courtship and turbulent marriage and Priscilla, from a German military base to her dream estate at Graceland. A profound and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy and fame.”

Priscilla premiered in theaters at the end of October and is already available on digital platforms.

University of Michigan focuses on Jim Harbaugh contract renewal

Last Friday (22), according to journalist Ian Rapoport, from NFL Media, the University of Michigan has sought to formalize a new contract renewal with Jim Harbaugh. The vehicle reports that the college provided the coach with two agreements, one for ten years with a total value of US$125 million.

++ Celtics defeat Lakers in NBA Christmas round classic

However, the contract aims to monopolize the coach with one of the clauses reinforcing that Jim Harbaugh will not be able to seek or accept jobs in the National Football League (NFL), especially in the 2024 season. The second offer states that the former athlete could earn US$11 million dollars in a shorter period.

There is speculation that the University of Michigan made both proposals due to surveys by NFL teams such as the Los Angeles Chargers, Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers in front of the coach, however, there were no further details of the teams or even the values offered.

Recently, the University of Michigan received a notice from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) for Jim Harbaugh’s actions taken and committed during the dead period during the Covid-19 pandemic. The measures reflect on- and off-campus recruitment, training activities, and potential violations of university codes and standards during the pandemic period.

The NCAA continues to determine whether members of the football team met Jim Harbaugh to practice new practices during the prohibited period. If the information detailed by the Detroit News outlet is proven, the coach, once again, will be penalized for four Level II and one Level I violations.
