Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga’s Joker 2 is being underestimated by many, but if we check on the ground level, there’s genuine interest in the film and don’t be surprised if it clocks a double-digit start at the Indian box office. The film is just a couple of days away from hitting theatres and considering the big national holiday, it is aiming to set the cash registers ringing. Keep reading for a detailed advance booking report of day 1!

Undercurrent among the Indian audience

The first installment was released in 2019, and despite strong competition from War and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, it did really well and ended up being a Hit in India with a net collection of 64 crores. Apart from this commercial success, it was also a winner among critics with overwhelmingly positive reviews.

Weekdays were stable for Munjya in the fourth week as around 50 lakhs came from Monday to Wednesday. While Monday brought in 57 lakhs, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were 55 lakhs, 54 lakhs and 52 lakhs respectively. This is good because the film was anyways facing huge competition from Kalki 2898 Ad (Hindi). Moreover, it has been watched by its target audience and now whatever is coming is an added bonus.

There was a huge week-on-week drop, though, as the fourth week brought in 6.43 crores, which is a very sharp dip when compared to the third week of 24.63 crores. Munjya has anyways over-performed in its first couple of weeks when 36.50 crores and 34.50 crores respectively had come in, and a super strong hold in the third week had taken it close to the 100 crores mark. That milestone ass accomplished in the fourth week and...

Vikas Bahl Has Completed Queen 2 Script & Might Soon Collaborate With Kangana Ranaut ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

A few months back, Vikas Bahl and Kangana Ranaut hinted at a possible collaboration with the sequel of their blockbuster film Queen, and now Queen 2 is finally happening. The filmmaker has confirmed that he is done with the script of the sequel, and fans cannot contain their excitement ever since the news has dropped in.

However, it seems like Kangana Ranaut will have a huge target if she collaborates on the sequel, and beating the numbers of the first film will be a task almost next to impossible. Also, consider the fact that the film dropped at a time when the actress was climbing the ladder of success.

Now, 10 years later, a lot has changed – right from Kangana‘s persona to her image and right from the genre of films working at the box office.

The premiere of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" season 3 arrived on Paramount+ today, which is exciting twofold for Trekkies. Not only is one of the better "Trek" shows back, but "Lower Decks" in particular gives detail-obsessed nerds a chance to take out their notepads and go reference hunting. The "Lower Decks" writers clearly know "Star Trek" quite well, and their references from previous episodes run from the obvious to the downright oblique. One needs to look closely to see some of the clever in-jokes snuck into the background.

These kinds of references are cute, yes, but it's worth noting that callbacks and canonical mapping have long been a "Star Trek" birthright. In terms of sci-fi TV, the notion of a larger, expanded universe that is operating somewhere far beyond the events of the central show -- a universe that can be periodically visited -- is something that "Star Trek" helped pioneer.

Apa has added Grimm co-creator David Greenwalt to its client roster along with Roni Greenwalt and their Swan Song production banner. David was also the co-showrunner on the hit NBC series, which ran for six seasons. Prior to that, David served as executive producer on Buffy The Vampire Slayer before creating and exec producing the spin-off, Angel. He’s also the co-creator behind the short-lived cult series, Profit. David’s other reps include Lbi Entertainment and Brecheen Feldman.

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but ABC’s Castle is bringing on a familiar face to help the NYPD get to the bottom of a case a bit bigger than they’re used to tackling. But whereas a year ago it was Dana Delany playing a prickly G-Woman, this Monday at 10/9c, you get Adrian Pasdar as a hardcore Homeland Security honcho. And whereas Delany’s FBI Agent Jordan Shaw was enlisted to track a serial killer picking off innocents one-by-one, Pasdar’s Agent Mark Fallon is on hand to stop someone from killing a whole lotta people at once.

On the Feb. 21 episode of ABC's "Castle," the first in a two-parter, Adrian Pasdar makes his first TV appearance since the unceremonious end of "Heroes" in 2010.

Playing Homeland Security agent Mark Fallon, Pasdar comes in to assist Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) in uncovering a terror plot in New York. Head-butting ensues.

Pasdar tells Zap2it this isn't even his first opportunity to join the series. He was recently offered the role of Castle's friend (and murder suspect) in the Feb. 14 episode, "The Final Nail." He held out for something meatier, which happened pretty quickly.

"It just didn't seem appropriate," says Pasdar. "They came back a few weeks later with this episode. It was really well written, and it ended up being a two-parter."

From our viewing of the first part, we can confirm that it is one of the more suspenseful outings the show has ever put out,...

TV, I wish I knew how to quit you.

Actually…no I don’t. Without you, we’d all be bored, heartless, apathetic loners. Let’s never part. I’ll make you a deal: You stay highly entertaining, I’ll spoil, and we will all promise to consume our television programming greedily. And judging by what’s coming up on Castle, Outsourced, How I Met Your Mother, Gossip Girl and a ton of other shows, you’re going to be keeping up your end of the bargain.

(Roomies, don’t forget to send your questions — and general ramblings — to spoilerroom@ew.

For the past few months, Steven Soderbergh has been all over the place with the cast and crew of Contagion. They've been shooting in San Francisco over the past week or so, and will close out work in that city with a massive scene at Candlestick Park that involves over 1000 extras. (The production manager for the film described the scene [1] at the 49ers home field as "like a large vaccination center.") Before that happens, we've got some set pics showing at least one urban setting for the film, which follows the outbreak and effects of a global pandemic. Contagion has shot in Geneva, Atlanta, Chicago, Hong Kong, London, Morocco before hitting Sf, which will be the film's final location. It stars Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, John Hawkes, Laurence Fishburne, Bryan Cranston, Elliott Gould, Demetri Martin and many more. (Since this is a film in a similar mode as Traffic,...

When I think back to the season 3 finale of Sons of Anarchy, I’ll remember three things:

1. The moment that Jax’s face turned to a smile in the paddy wagon as he got word that the plan none of us saw coming had worked: Turns out the club knew, probably all along, about him turning rat with Agent Stahl to clear Gemma and get their sentence reduced to three years (14 months with good behavior). With Unser having no hope of saving the Charming Pd after Salazar’s death last episode (is that why Jax really did it?), he was...

An Officer And A Gentleman star Lisa Blount has died, aged 53.

The Oscar-winner's mother found the actress-turned-producer dead at her home in Little Rock, Arkansas on Wednesday.

The Pulaski County Coroner, Garland Camper, has stated that Blount most likely passed away two days earlier on Monday, but he ruled there were no signs of foul play.

Blount was best known for her work onscreen in 1982 movie An Officer And A Gentleman alongside Richard Gere, as well as her role in John Carpenter's 1987 horror Prince Of Darkness and TV show Profit.

Blount later stepped behind the camera and became a successful producer, sharing an Academy Award with her actor/director husband Ray McKinnon for their 2001 short film, The Accountant.

Blount's cause of death was not known as WENN went to press.

Stephen J. Cannell didn’t produce every show on television during the late 1970s and 1980s—it just seemed like he did. The Rockford Files. The Greatest American Hero. The A-Team. Over the course of a 40-year career, Cannell, who died Friday at age 69, produced more than 40 TV series. For anyone who grew up on his shows, the man and his creations simply defined television.

While it’s natural for any appreciation of Cannell’s career to begin by noting how prolific he was, a closer look at that considerable body of work reminds us that entertaining TV—and certainly...

Omg! I was so saddened to hear this news this afternoon. One of the greatest television creators, Stephen J. Cannell, has passed away today at 68 due to complications associated with melanoma. Here is a statement his family made to the press:

“Aside from being a legendary television producer and prolific writer, Stephen was also a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and a loyal friend. Mr. Cannell is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 46 years, Marcia, their three children, Tawnia, Chelsea and Cody and three grandchildren. Stephen was the pillar of strength within his family and he touched everyone he met. He will be most deeply missed. The family asks that in lieu of flowers donations be made to the American Cancer Society or The International Dyslexia Association. Details regarding his memorial service will be released.”

Cannell was renowned for his creations of shows like 21 Jump Street,...

Sendhil Ramamurthy and Dania Ramirez had the misfortune to star as two of Heroes' most annoying characters: gasbag scientist Mohinder Suresh and poison-crying Maya Herrera. But Hollywood can forgive anything, and yesterday brought good casting news for both of them. Ramamurthy hopped into USA's Covert Affairs, while Ramirez will recur on the next season of Entourage. (She'll play Turtle's love interest. Hey, a job's a job.) I couldn't be happier for both actors. Ramirez was awesome as A.J.'s girlfriend during the final season of Sopranos, and Ramamurthy has been trying to escape from Mohinder's shadow for awhile now.

Ok, so maybe that title's a stretch. But the thing is, these are all television writers with solid track records and who could easily and happily fill up those hours of television NBC's handing over to Leno. We're sticking with writer-producers who specialize in drama, that could fill that 10 p.m. slot, and are not currently attached to any series (there's one exception), and a quick glance at IMDb doesn't indicate they have anything in development. There's no reason to believe they couldn't produce a compelling 13 hours of television (remember, we're going with the cable paradigm here -- 13 episodes and you're out.)

1. Lee Goldberg. I'm an unabashed fan of Goldberg's, and it might just be how much he obviously loves television. His post about "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" isn't written by someone who just watches TV, but is passionate about it, about its power and its influence, and...

NEW YORK -- Universal-owned digital network Trio will transform its Brilliant but Canceled programming stunt into its primetime anchor in September. First introduced by the pop-culture channel as a monthlong initiative in December, Brilliant replayed such short-lived but critically acclaimed TV series as Profit, Kolchak: The Night Stalker and The Famous Teddy Z. Although which series will return has yet to be determined, Trio will schedule them at 8 p.m. weekdays. The network, available to 18 million homes, also said it will tweak its brand with a new logo and tag line. Previously described as "popular arts television," Trio's new tag line is "pop, culture, tv." Trio president Lauren Zalaznick believes the change emphasizes the network's embrace of the medium as a cultural force. "We're the first channel to celebrate TV as an art form," she said.
