Reasons for another falling out between The Challenge’s Nicole Zanatta and Laurel Stucky after they dated and split again may have finally been revealed.
The MTV castmates dated years ago and also appeared on a season of MTV’s Ex on the Beach: Peak of Love, which featured part of their rocky relationship.
Based on spoilers (below), the two reconciled while filming another project together. However, several issues, including alleged cheating, may have caused the two to split again.
Taking to her Instagram this week, Nicole shared a slideshow with her new girlfriend set to a song by Morgan Wallen.
It features a quick video clip of them together and multiple photos of them smiling with one another.
“This is what a healthy relationship looks like,” Nicole wrote in an edited caption for the post, seemingly throwing shade at her ex.

Michael Bay’s time at the helm of the Transformers franchise may have brought in billions of dollars at the box office, but the movies themselves kept getting progressively worse. As he’s wont to do, the filmmaker steadily increased the levels of scale and spectacle while completely overlooking such trivial things as plot and character.
By the time fifth entry The Last Knight rolled around, things had gotten almost incomprehensibly stupid, and audiences clearly lost interest as a result. After Dark of the Moon and Age of Extinction both crossed the $1.1 billion mark, Bay’s final entry in the series saw earnings fall off a cliff. True, 99% of blockbusters would kill for a haul of $605 million globally, but it was viewed as a huge disappointment by Paramount.

Box office in Spain crashed 72% in 2020 to a total €169.7 million ($207 million), with Covid-19 wiping over half a billion dollars from box office sales this year, Comscore announced Tuesday.
By way of comparison, 2019 total box office in Spain stood at €605 million ($738 million). Spanish cinema admissions similarly plunged from 105 million tickets sold last year, a recent-year record, to 28.2 million in 2020.
In line with analysts’ expectations for not only Spain but much of Europe, admissions were the lowest since records began in 1965, and plunged despite cinema theaters remaining open in most of Spain since late June, save for Catalonia and Andalusia, in contrast to Europe’s other biggest markets.
Yet even in such dire circumstances, there were blue sky moments. The highest-grossing movie of the year opened in Spain, for example, after Covid-19 had hit Madrid harder than any other city in Europe.

After We Collided is the sequel to After, the teen drama adapted from the series of novels written by The New York Times bestselling author Anna Todd. Directed by Roger Kumble, it follows the tumultuous love story of Hardin Scott and Tessa Young - played by Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Josephine Langford - after Tessa first falls for Hardin because of a pretty awful prank in the first film. College is tough.
The second of the four-part franchise, After We Collided sees Tessa start her first internship at Vance publishing, a company owned by a friend of Hardin's dad. With some surprisingly familiar faces in the cast - including Pia Mia, Dylan Sprouse, and Selma Blair - the second installment of the After series is even juicier than the first, but it's not been an easy ride. The film first premiered on demand on Oct. 23, but if you didn't catch it the first time,...

The Weeknd recruited saxophonist Kenny G to perform their recent collaboration “In Your Eyes,” a remix of the After Hours hit, at the 2020 American Music Awards.
The two artists took over a bridge in Downtown Los Angeles, where the Weeknd revived the fireworks motif from his MTV VMAs performance and strutted down the street with sparklers going off all around him. Along with “In Your Eyes,” which got a great sax intro from Kenny G, the Weeknd squeezed in another After Hours track, “Save Your Tears,” during the grand fireworks finale.

“After We Collided” is the big winner this week. It is #1 at both Apple TV and Google Play, and #2 at FandangoNow (where its $6.99 price on the revenue-based chart put it at a disadvantage). Its Friday debut precluded Spectrum.
This is the sequel to 2019 college romance “After,” which grossed $12 million domestic and $57 million overseas. “After We Collided” also had a theatrical release this weekend, but earned only $420,000 at theaters willing to play day and date. This opened weeks ago in international theaters (including Canada), where it’s earned over $46 million. It’s a sign of how foreign results are dwarfing domestic ones (albeit with minimal competition).
Briarcliff opted to go at a non-premium VOD price and this clicked right away. “After” cost $14 million; figure this is more. It’s recouped a nice share of its cost overseas, and now can collect 70 percent of its domestic VOD from what appears to be a strong response.

Liam Neeson’s thriller “Honest Thief” repeated as the winner of a subdued domestic box office with $2.4 million at 2,502 locations.
The Open Road release declined 44% from its opening frame and has taken in $7.5 million in its first 10 days in North America. The distributor added screens in New York state following New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s decision to give movie theaters outside of New York City permission to reopen at reduced capacity starting on Oct. 23.
Tom Ortenberg, CEO of Open Road said: “Our belief was that releasing a crowd-pleaser of a film, like ‘Honest Thief,’ at this point in time, would generate the positive word-of-mouth necessary to successfully propel the film for many weeks. Back to back weeks at number 1, confirms that belief.”
The “Honest Thief” number is one of the lowest-winning weekend totals in theaters during the past two months, but Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for Comscore, said...

Tenet posts strong holds in international markets
Christopher Nolan’s Tenet grossed an estimated $11.5m in its sixth session internationally, down from $16.2m for the previous weekend - a decline of 29%.
The robust performance was achieved thanks to strong holds, rather than the arrival of the spy thriller in fresh markets. The estimated international total for the Warner Bros release now stands at $262m, and the global total – including North America – is an estimated $307m, with $35m coming from IMAX screens.

It would be unfair to blame Harry Styles for “After We Collided,” the sequel to 2019’s “After,” just because both films are based on a series of novels that evolved from One Direction fan-fiction. But he should maybe lie low for a bit because by the time the end credits roll like a potential warrant list, we are looking for someone — anyone — to blame.
“This is a story you’ve heard before,” drones the toneless opening voiceover, but thing is, we really haven’t, because this is not a story. It is a numbingly repetitive series of manufactured minor dramas between the two terminally self-involved, staggeringly uninteresting protagonists of the first film, which set the bar so low it has to be the result of special effort that the sequel fails to clear it. “After” was merely awful. “After We Collided” is atrocious. Naturally, it’s proving an enormous pandemic-era hit.

Tenet debuted in first place in Japan with $4.3m, which Warner Bros reports is ahead of both Dunkirk and Interstellar for the three-day opening weekend. IMAX delivered 27% of the Japan total. Japan enters its Silver Week holiday this week, which should boost business throughout the period.

Aided by 100 additional theater openings, “Tenet” fell only 29 percent in its second North American weekend. That’s a good hold — however, that represents just $6.7 million in 2,910 theaters. Based on that drop, “Tenet” earned about $9.5 million in its opening weekend.
There’s lots of caveats here: About 70 percent of theaters are open in the U.S., but the top-grossing locations in New York and Los Angeles remain closed. This weekend didn’t have a holiday attached, and since “Tenet” played for four days (including Thursday with full shows) before the weekend, that would likely reduce the first weekend’s total.
The best news is that Warners reports that among the five top grosses for “Tenet,” four were in newly reopened areas. The top market was Los Angeles driven by cities in Orange County (Orange and Irvine), just south of Los Angeles. Fourth was the Paramount Drive-In (in L.A. County), with fifth best in Fort Lauderdale.

Updated, after 3:22 Pm post: It should come as no surprise to After fans that they’ll be getting a third and fourth movie based on the Anna Todd novels. Even though Part 2 to last year’s indie hit After — After We Collided — hasn’t opened stateside just yet, the hearts of Tessa Young and Hardin Scott go on.
The franchise’s stars Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes Tiffin made the news of a threequel and fourthquel official today on the movie’s Instagram page, for Todd’s respective After We Fell and After Ever Happy. Both titles are going into production. It also was announced that Castille Landon will direct both films. She recently helmed the Katherine Heigl-Harry Connick, Jr. drama thriller Fear of Rain. The first movie, made for $14M, grossed close to $70M WW last year — a huge success in Europe, where the novels are very popular.

Are there signs of green shoots of recovery for the indie film industry following the profound business disruption wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic?
“We’re living through a rapidly changing time,” says Brian Beckman, CFO of international sales company and producer Arclight Films, which is handling worldwide sales on “The Furnace,” an Australian adventure story, screening in Venice Film Festival’s Horizons section. “I think it feels like the worst part of the situation is now behind us.”
Physical production remains a challenge for independent filmmakers, amid continuing difficulties in securing Covid-19 production insurance as well as international travel restrictions.
However, many independents realize that there is now a unique window of opportunity for those who are able to make and deliver films.
Some have risked shooting films without specific Covid-19 related insurance, such as L.A.-based finance, production and distribution firm Voltage Pictures and producer/financier Limelight. Others,...

Book your blowout at Christophe and pop your luxury tents — Sony Pictures has ordered a sequel to the 1989 comedy “Troop Beverly Hills.”
The film, about a pampered Los Angeles housewife (Shelley Long) who roughs it as Wilderness Girls scout to bond with her daughter, is getting an update from director Oran Zegman, Variety has learned.

In February, “Mission: Impossible 7” was forced to halt production in Italy days before its planned shoot in Venice, as the country contended with one of the highest coronavirus death rates in Europe.
Cut to September. The Venice Film Festival is the first top-tier fest physically taking place, and Tom Cruise is expected back in the lagoon city later this month to resume shooting, according to multiple sources.
The Paramount production is getting logistical support from Rome’s Cinecittà Studios, where “Mission: Impossible 7” currently has an operational office. And, barring complications, Cinecittà is gearing up for a boom.
At the iconic – and recently revamped – facilities outside the Italian capital, cameras resumed rolling in early July on high-end British TV series “Domina,” the Sky original looking at power of women in Ancient Rome, which had shut down production in early March.

Just a month after the April 2019 debut of After, a sexy romance flick based on the bestselling series of the same name, franchise creator Anna Todd took to Twitter with the best news: "After We Collided era is here," she tweeted on May 19, 2019. "We're getting a sequel, guys." It wasn't long before it was confirmed that Josephine Langford and Hero Fiennes-Tiffin would be reprising their roles as Tessa Young and Hardin Scott, respectively, and in August 2019, it was announced that Dylan Sprouse was joining the cast as Trevor Matthews. But now, the question that still remains is: when will After We Collided come out?
On July 17, the After Instagram page shared the film's official poster, as well as a few international release dates. While After We Collided is set to release in some countries like Canada in September, the United Kingdom and United States are still Tba. However, based on the other dates announced,...
