The Odyssey India Box Office day 5: Christopher Nolan's film nears 100 cr

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues to run strong at the Indian box office, crossing ₹77 crore net in India and inching closer to the ₹100 crore milestone, on Tuesday

Federal judge halts Paramount and Warner merger for at least two weeks

A federal judge on Monday ordered Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery to halt their USD 81 billion merger for at least two weeks, allowing states that are challenging the deal more time to see their case through in court. Twelve states, led by California, sued to block Paramount's pending buyout of Warner last week - alleging that such a combination would "extinguish competition" in Hollywood and lead to fewer choices for consumers, particularly moviegoers and cable customers across the US. The states' top prosecutors called on Warner and Paramount to not close the transaction until after a court had time to "fully evaluate" their claims. And when the companies refused, they filed for a temporary restraining order - which is what District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin granted on Monday. That opens the door to a potential preliminary injunction that the states are also seeking to effectively block the deal.

Matthew Perry death: 'Ketamine Queen' gets 15 yrs jail for supplying drugs

A federal judge on Wednesday handed down a sentence of 15 years in prison to a woman who pleaded guilty to selling actor Matthew Perry the ketamine that killed him in 2023. "You're going to have to show some epic resilience," Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett said to Jasveen Sangha, echoing the defendant's words earlier in the hearing about her self-improvement. Citing the unique role Sangha admitted to playing in Perry's death and her broader drug-dealing business, the judge gave the 42-year-old a sentence that will almost certainly be more than all four of her co-defendants combined. The hearing Wednesday in a Los Angeles courtroom was in many ways the pinnacle of the two-and-a-half year investigation and prosecution that followed the overdose death of the 54-year-old actor, whose role as Chandler Bing on NBC's 'Friends' in the 1990s and 2000s made him one of the biggest television stars of the era. Keith Morrison, Perry's stepfather and correspondent for NBC's 'Dateline', told the ju
