Disney faces heat for ruining a couple’s marriage proposal moment

Los Angeles, June 6 Problems don’t seem to cease for entertainment giant Disney. After being stripped off of its self-governing status in Florida, the corporation is under fire once again a video showing a Disneyland Paris theme park marriage proposal being interrupted, went viral.

The video is drawing fierce online criticism for ruining a couple’s special moment, reports Deadline’.

According to ‘Newsweek’, the video, which was initially posted to Reddit and has now gone viral, has been upvoted 85,000 times.

The man proposing marriage to his girlfriend reportedly asked permission from a park employee before mounting a platform in front of Cinderella’s Castle to pop the question.

As he dropped to his knee holding a ring box, a male employee runs into the scene, darted between the couple, and grabs the ring box.

He then gets off the platform and gestures to the couple to complete their ceremony off the platform.

A Disney spokesperson told ‘Newsweek’: “We regret how this was handled. We have apologized to the couple involved and offered to make it right.”

In 2018, a man sued the company for interrupting his proposal at Orlando’s Disney World. The lawsuit also accused an employee of physical harassment.

‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ opens 2nd at Korea Box Office with $15 mn haul

Los Angeles, June 6 Director Colin Trevorrow’s film ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ scored the third-highest opening weekend of the year in South Korea, but still managed only second place at the box office, a further sign of recovery in the country.

For the third weekend in a row, proceedings were dominated by the local crime action film ‘The Roundup’, reports Variety.

It earned $10.4 million over the Friday to Sunday period, down 32 percent from its previous weekend, according to data from Kobis, the tracking service operated by the Korean Film Council (Kofic), reports Variety.

After nearly three weeks of release, the film has an accumulated total of $73.3 million.

Its cumulative total is 8.87 million spectators.

The total, already the highest so far of any film in 2022, is certain to be given a further push on Monday, Korea’s Memorial Day public holiday, making it likely that ‘The Roundup’ will soon join the elite group of films that have achieved ten million ticket sales in Korea.

Over the latest weekend, the market share of ‘The Roundup’ fell from a previous 84 percent to a healthier 51 percent, as some cinemas switched to screenings of ‘Jurassic World’.

The dinosaur adventure movie earned $7.94 million from 949,000 spectators between Friday and Sunday, representing a 39 percent market share. Released on Wednesday, the film’s five-day total stands at $15.0 million earned from 1.82 million ticket sales.

Such was the dominance of the top two titles, that all remaining films had to share just 10 percent of the market.

In third place over the weekend was the Japanese anime title: ‘Pokemon: Giratina and the Sky Monster’ from 2008.

Between Friday and Sunday, it earned $1.06 million.

Korean title, ‘The Red Herring’ continued its progress in fourth place with a $307,000 weekend and a two-weekend cumulative of $2.08 million.

‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ earned $237,000 over the weekend, taking fifth place. After more than a month on release, it has now accumulated $49.7 million.

The most recent week also saw a spurt of releases by smaller titles.

‘Cassiopeia’, a drama about youth dementia, opened in sixth place with $109,000 over five days. The US drama, ‘After Yang’ opened in Korea with $104,000 over five days.

Chinese animation ‘Agent Backkom: King’s Bear’ landed in eighth with $51,800 over five days.

Korean-made holdover titles ‘Hot-Blooded: The Original’ and ‘I Want to Know Your Parents’ filled out the remaining top ten places with weekend scores of $17,300 and $7,000, respectively.

Lata Mangeshkar had a spiritual side to her singing: Arijit Singh

Singer Arijit Singh recently shared his thoughts and learnings from legendary playback singer Lata Mangeshkar, in an ‘Arijit Singh Special Episode’ on ‘Naam Reh Jayegaa’.

Many big names from the industry have been showering their love for the melody queen Lata Mangeshkar on her tribute show ‘Naam Reh Jayegaa’.

In the latest episode, Arijit Singh who also has a huge fanbase around the globe and is a big-time fan of Lata, came onto the stage of ‘Naam Reh Jayegaa’ to share his love for Lata.

While speaking about the emotions that Lata’s songs spark in him, Arijit shared “She is like Rabindranath Tagore. How he wrote everything and he wrote on every emotion no matter what book you pick up there is something that you find relatable. Lataji’s songs are like that only, no matter any song you pick up, you will always find something that you can relate to, she has sung songs in every emotion you can think of. It’s a blessing we have her”.

“There is a lot you can learn from her songs. The spirituality that she has carried in her singing with utmost passion till the end, is truly a big learning. She used to sing complex songs with such ease that it is amazing. When you listen to the song it seems like it’s such an easy song but when you try singing it then you realize how difficult it is. She never presented herself as a great singer, she always sang like a commoner. Technically there is a lot you can learn from her”.

With Star Plus’ 8-episode series aNaam Reh Jaayega’, 18 of the biggest Indian singers including Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Shankar Mahadevan, Nitin Mukesh, Neeti Mohan, Alka Yagnik, Sadhana Sargam, Udit Narayan, Shaan, Kumar Sanu, Amit Kumar, Jatin Pandit, Javed Ali, Aishwarya Majumdar, Sneha Pant, Pyarelal Ji, Palak Muchhal and Anwesha join hands to pay tribute to the legendary Lata Mangeshkar.

Even ‘Dr Strange 2’ made nearly 3 times more money than ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ on first day

Mumbai, June 4 The much-hyped Akshay Kumar-starrer, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, had an unimpressive opening day, its box-office collections adding up to Rs 10.6 crore.

The Yash Raj Films production ranks No. 7 among this year’s big Hindi releases, below another Akshay Kumar film, ‘Bachchan Pandey’, and barely above Alia Bhatt’s woman-centric virtuoso act, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’.

This year so far has clearly belonged to films dubbed in Hindi, the chart-toppers being ‘KGF: Chapter 2’ (Rs 53.95 crore), followed by Marvel’s ‘Dr Strange in Multiverse of Madness’ (Rs 28.35 crore) — the figures tell us that even Benedict Cumberbatch has a greater drawing power — and ‘RRR’ (Rs 20.07 crore).

Even the second edition of the old Akshay Kumar hit supernatural comedy, ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’, with Kartik Aaryan playing the lead character, is two notches above ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, at Rs 14.11 crore.

In the words of the trade website, www.bollywoodmoviereviewz.com, considering the subject, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ had a “very weak trailer” and “lacks the grandeur needed for historical movies”, which is seen in Bhansali productions, or in ‘RRR’.

“It has opened purely on Akshay Kumar’s star power and will depend on the audience’s word of mouth for growth,” the website added. The film has been released on 3,750 screens across India in Hindi and 200 screens in Tamil and Telugu and 1,200 screens in overseas territories.

Worldwide, these numbers add up to 4,950 screens, according to the website, which makes it a humongus opening. ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ was produced at a cost of Rs 300 crore.

‘Samrat Prithviraj’, notes www.bollywoodmoviereviewz.com, has been sold to Amazon Prime Video as a part of a Rs 250-crore four-film deal with Yash Raj Films. To quote the website, “Two of the four films — ‘Jayeshbhai Jordaar’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ — have flopped, leaving the streamer to handle the loss.”
