Wonder Woman 1984 could end up on HBO Max very quickly – Engadget

Even so many months into the coronavirus pandemic, movie studios and theaters are still considering the release of blockbuster titles, and Wonder Woman 1984 is scheduled for a theatrical release on Christmas. With COVID-19 infections and deaths rising across the country it’s unclear whether that will hold, but Variety and Bloomberg report that Warner Bros. is negotiating with theater owners over a new release strategy. Apparently their big idea is to release it in theaters where possible, and potentially bring the movie to Warner’s streaming service HBO Max within a week or two. While theater owners have relented on exclusivity windows — AMC’s new deal with Universal dropped it to 17 days in some cases — allowing viewers to access it via subscription...

Quando Rondo Claims His Crew Was Defending Itself In Brawl Before King Von Shooting – TMZ

Women At War Form The Heart Of ‘The Shadow King’

Library Text by Vivek Tejuja. Photographed by Joshua Navalkar So here we are, at the last write-up of the Booker shortlist – The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste. The book that speaks of war, or rather sings about it (given the lyrical nature of its prose) and portrays people’s lives amid something as grand and pointless as a war. The Shadow King tells the story of Hirut, a young Ethiopian servant who finds herself on the battlefield. She and an unnamed female cook work in the household of a man named Kidane and his wife, Aster. And then the war comes – the Second Italo-Ethiopian war of 1935 when Italy attempted to colonise Ethiopia. The book is about how Hirut, Aster and the cook ...

Pennsylvania COVID: Delaware, Montgomery counties sounding alarm on coronavirus surge – WPVI-TV

Officials in Montgomery and Delaware counties are sounding the alarm on COVID-19, warning that the surge is putting a strain on the hospital system.

Europe, North America have a really clear need for Covid vaccine, says expert – CNBC

With cases of the coronavirus disease still surging in the West, countries in Europe and North America have a "really clear" need for a vaccine, a medical expert said on Friday.

Over in the U.S., where cumulative cases are the highest globally, California became the second state after Texas to top a million infections, data compiled by Johns Hopkins University showed.
