Singapore will be first market globally to launch Disney+ with the Star brand that offers more mature content
When Disney+ first launched in the US in November 2019, the streaming platform by the House of Mouse had five content brands — Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars, Disney, and National Geographic.

The War With Grandpa starring Robert De Niro tops Tenet at US box office
The War With Grandpa, a Robert De Niro comedy about the battle between a wily septuagenarian and his grandson over a bedroom, was originally supposed to hit theatres in 2018. Plans changed after Harvey Weinstein, the indie film producer whose company The Weinstein Company financed the Home Alone knockoff, was exposed as a serial sexual harasser and predator. His fall from power led to the dissolution of The Weinstein Company and plunged The War With Grandpa and other films that the studio had expected to release such as The Upside and The Current War, into a perilous kind of limbo. Two years after it was intended to hit theatres, The War With Grandpa finally debuted, although in a markedly different theatrical landscape, one that faces an existential crisis brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. The film grossed US$3.6 million (S$4.55 million) from 2,205 locations while receiving a brushoff from critics who dismissed it as derivative and joyless. In pandemic times when major … [Read more...] about The War With Grandpa starring Robert De Niro tops Tenet at US box office
