Banned Movie Is Flying Off The Charts

Armie Hammer's controversial movie has now become a major success on Apple TV's PVOD service. Directed by a German filmmaker, Uwe Boll, the movie was banned in his home country for its themes. And despite being available to watch for free for two days, the movie has earned a high rank on the digital platform.

According to PopVortex, "Citizen Vigilante" is currently the #2 movie on Apple TV's Top Movie Downloads 2026 list. It became available to rent and purchase on the platform from 19 June. Within a short time, it has outperformed other recent hits.

"Toy Story 5" Surges, While "Supergirl" Falters

Disney/Pixar Studios' "Toy Story 5" is holding onto No. 1, as we knew it would, but pre-weekend estimates were a bit high. The second weekend now is looking more like US$ 74M at 4,425 sites, which would get the Andrew Stanton-directed animated mover over the US$ 300M domestic in 10 days. And that's nothing to whine about.

The pic's second Friday is looking like US$ 22M. At US$ 74M, that's a -54 percent second-weekend hold, which is close to the -56 percent second weekend hold of "Incredibles 2" (US$ 80.3M), which was coming off the record domestic opening for an animated movie (U$ 182.6M).

Teen Invents Pedestrian Tracker To Help Grandparents Cross The Street

Jay Jung, 18, grew up with his grandparents in South Korea. Walking around Seoul with them as an elementary schooler, he noticed they often couldn't keep up with the pedestrian crossing signals, struggling to cross the street in time before cars came whooshing by.

"Whenever I would go with them to the local grocery store or the local park, I would realize that we were not even halfway and then the light just suddenly turns red," Jung said.

Fans Are Disappointed At Digital-Download-Only "GTA VI"

Pre-orders for the next instalment in the "Grand Theft Auto" series went live last 25 June after more than a decade of waiting, but to the disappointment of many fans, "GTA VI" is only arriving as a digital download.

Physical discs are preferred by many gamers over digital download codes since they mean actual ownership of the game. Meanwhile download-only versions can't be shared with or sold to other players.

More Bad News For Supergirl

The superhero movie "Supergirl" is flying toward an even bleaker opening weekend at the domestic box office than originally projected, as "Toy Story 5" is expected to win the box office crown for a second-straight weekend.

"Supergirl" plays in special fan screenings on last 24 June, with preview screenings set for the nexy day. The film opens nationwide in 3,600 North American theaters on 26 June. "Supergirl" marks the second film under James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, following the release of the Gunn-directed "Superman" in July 2025. Gunn serves as a producer on "Supergirl".
