Box Office Frozen 2 Is The Highest Grossing Animated Film Of All Time Rise Of Skywalker Approaches Us 1 Billion

Frozen 2 is also now officially the highest-grossing animated film of all time. This is of course if we don’t consider Jon Favreau’s remake of The Lion King ($US 1.6 billion) an animated feature. After all, despite being entirely designed and rendered on computers, the film was billed as a “live-action” remake. Either way, Disney wins. Frozen 2 is really making a splash outside of North America more than anything else....

Captain Marvel Origin Story In The Movie Was Supposed To Be Different

The film was of course inspired by its comic book counterpart. However, as with any adaptation, the scriptwriters and director definitely changed up some things in the characters transition to the big screen in order to make it more palatable for the wider audience. In fact, if it were up to comic book writer Kelly Sue Deconnick, the film would have played out much differently. In an interview with io9, she had this to say:...

Captain Marvel Directors Would Love A Team Up Movie With Valkyrie

The sequence also made many fans clamour for an all-female Avengers spinoff film. While we’re not sure if we’re going to be getting that any time soon, we can still hope for smaller female team-up films, especially when some MCU directors are expressing their excitement over it. One team-up a lot of fans desperately want to see is that of Captain Marvel and Valkyrie and it looks like Captain Marvel directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck feel the same way too....

China Bans Exports Of Homemade Loongson Cpus To Russia

The Loongson ban is reportedly due to the fact that, for some time now, several Russian companies have been scouring the globe for alternatives to x86 processors and Compute GPUs from US developers. As you well know, tech giants AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA all ceased operations and exports to Russia, after the country invaded the neighbouring country of Ukraine, unprovoked. Couple that with the long list of sanctions, and it’s easy to see why the Slavic nation would look for alternatives....

China Bans Social Media App Clubhouse After Users Discuss Taboo Topics

To download Clubhouse, users in China had to resort using non-local based Apple IDs. Because joining the app also requires an invitation, a black market for invitation codes had developed right before the ban. According to the NYT, the going rate went up to 300 yuan (~RM189) for one code. Despite the ban, some China users are reportedly still able to access Clubhouse using a VPN. But searches for “Clubhouse” on Weibo were blocked and many posts on the local social media page discussing the app’s banning were quickly purged, the NYT and Reuters reported....

Command Conquer Remastered Collection Arriving 6 June

To recap, the tasking of remastering the two titles had fallen into the hands of Petroglyph Games, a video game studio comprising of several developers who initially worked at Westwood Studios. In addition, Petroglyph Games would also be receiving some help from the Malaysia-based company, Lemon Sky Studios.

Corsair Xeneon Flex Is Both A Flat And Curved Monitor

Perhaps it is more accurately described as bendable rather than foldable. It even comes with handlebars on both ends of the monitor, so that you can give it up to an 800R curve whenever you feel like it. Either way, the Corsair Xeneon Flex is a 45-inch flexible OLED WQHD display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, the exact resolution being 3440 x 1440. The company claims that this combination of screen size and aspect ratio gives it 20% more screen area than the average 49-inch 32:9 display....

Digimon Survive Gets 29 July Release Date

Announced all the way back in 2018, Digimon Survive promised a darker story compared to what fans may have come to expect from the series. Where previous games see the protagonists being the one to save the digital world from some sort of crisis, this one is a lot simpler: staying alive. In many ways, the Fire Emblem series serves as the best reference point, with story bits being similar visual novel style and gameplay being a tactical RPG....

Discord Rolls Out Screen Sharing Function On Its Mobile App

The feature to allow for screen sharing on mobile is a long time coming for a majority of Discord users.

Support to view screen sharing live streams was eventually added to the mobile app sometime after, but with no ability for mobile users to stream their own content until now. Discord says that screen share on mobile can be broadcasted to up to 50 viewers simultaneously, and that there will be no limit on how many users can live stream their content in the same channel or server....

Doctor Sleep Massively Disappoints At The Box Office

Unfortunately, it looks like not many people actually went out and saw it. The film grossed a shocking $US 14 million in North America and $US 20 million outside of North America, bringing its global cume to a disappointing $US 34 million, which is $US 10 million short of its production budget. Weird, considering how well horror flicks, especially the ones to come out of big studios, do at the box office, regardless of how they’re reviewed....
