Box office weekend news… Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a new nominee… Jonas Brothers coming to Broadway… Paris Hilton ‘waiting’ for a girl… and Adele is ‘engaged’ to boyfriend
Listen to “Showbiz – Feb 27, 2023” on Spreaker.
It wasn’t number one, but “Cocaine Bear” blew past all expectations. Experts predicted the movie would earn between $15M-$17M in its opening weekend. Instead, “Cocaine Bear” earned $23M for a second place finish. “Ant-Man 3” earned $32.3M to remain No. 1 for a second week, but that was a 69% drop from its opening weekend, giving it the biggest week-to-week drop in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Coming in third was the new movie “Jesus Revolution,” with $15.5M. This was another one that blew past its projected first week earnings of between $6M-$7M. The movie had a $15M budget so they already broke even.
According to industry estimates, #AntMan could become the first Marvel entry ever to drop more than 70% in its second weekend at the box office. https://t.co/igHtyUVwJo pic.twitter.com/004QtAJcfx

Celebrity gossip site Deux Moi says a “very reliable source” claimed that Adele is engaged to sports agent Rich Paul, and they’re planning a summer wedding. Adele has been wearing a massive ring on THAT finger since February of last year. She was wearing it again at her Vegas residency this weekend. Last August, Adele said in an interview that her dream is to be a homemaker and that she planned on marrying and making babies with Rich. Last year, the couple bought Sylvester Stallone’s former mansion in Beverly Hills together. It has 8 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, so they have lots of rooms to fill!
