Beyoncé está lista para ocupar el primer lugar de la taquilla este fin de semana con su nueva película "Renaissance", pero se está quedando muy por debajo de otro estreno de este año ... adivinen de quién.

La Queen B tuvo un buen comienzo este fin de semana, con una recaudación de unos 11,5 millones de dólares entre el jueves y el viernes. Las estimaciones apuntan a un total entre 20 y 24 millones de dólares hasta el domingo.

Como ya les contamos, es una cifra sólida en lo que respecta a las películas sobre conciertos -especialmente históricamente-, pero se ve opacada con lo que hizo la cinta "Eras" de Taylor Swift en el mismo periodo hace unos meses. Esta recaudó 39 millones de dólares en el mercado doméstico entre el jueves y el viernes, y terminó con una enorme recaudación de 92 millones de dólares en su fin de semana de estreno.

A la fecha, "Eras" ya ha recaudado más de $250 millones en todo el mundo.

No es por comparar a las dos, pero hay que hacerlo cuando Bey y Tay son las mayores estrellas del pop en el mundo y ambas lanzaron películas de conciertos en un corto período de tiempo. La yuxtaposición es natural y las cifras son las que son.

No hace falta decir que ambas se apoyan mutuamente y que asistieron al estreno de la otra, Bey en Los Ángeles y Tay Tay en Londres.

Y sí, posaron juntas en ambas ocasiones, por lo que no hay mala sangre en absoluto, o al menos eso parece. Sus fervientes seguidores tienden a ser un poco más competitivos a veces.

En cualquier caso, el verdadero ganador es AMC, que distribuyó en exclusiva ambas películas y está haciendo un buen dinero. En lugar de utilizar un estudio externo, lo hicieron ellos mismos y hasta ahora parece estar dando sus frutos.

Beyoncé is all set to take the top spot at the box office this weekend with her new concert film — but it’s falling way short of another this year … guess who.

The Queen Bey had a strong first-day start to the weekend with her 'Renaissance' flick — which raked in about $11.5 million between Thursday previews and Friday’s full day of showings. Projections have it pegged to make somewhere in the ballpark of $20-$24 million domestically through Sunday.

Like we said, it’s certainly a solid figure as far as concert films are concerned — especially historically — but it pales in comparison to how Taylor Swift’s 'Eras' movie did in the same window a few months ago … when it made $39 mil domestically between Thur/Fri, and ended up with a huge haul of $92 million for its total opening weekend.

Of course, at this point, the “Eras” tour film has grossed well over $250 million worldwide.

Not to compare the two, but you kind of have to when Bey and Tay are the biggest pop stars in the world … and they both released concert films within a short window. The juxtaposition is only natural, and the numbers are what they are.

It should go without saying … they most certainly support one another regardless, and attended the other’s premiere, respectively -- Bey in L.A. for Tay, and Tay in London for Bey.

And yes ... they posed together on both occasions, so it's no bad blood whatsoever -- or so it seems, anyway. Their fervent fan bases tend to be a little more competitive at times.

In any case, the real winner here is AMC — which exclusively distributed both movies and is cleaning up big time. Rather than use an outside studio partner, they did it themselves … and so far, it seems to be paying off.

Susan Sarandon is now walking back antisemitic remarks she delivered at a pro-Palestinian rally in NYC last month ... offering her apologies to anyone she offended.

The actress posted a lengthy statement on Instagram Friday night, explaining that she made a "terrible mistake" when she said Jews are “getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.”

Susan uttered the words in front of a large crowd at the November 17 rally in Manhattan's Union Square.

The demonstrators were protesting against the Israel-Hamas war, which broke out after the terrorist group invaded the Jewish state on October 7. Hamas militants, who rule over the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, slaughtered some 1,400 Jews, including babies.

In her IG post, Susan said she was invited to the event, but was not supposed to speak, yet ended up on stage with a mic in her hand, trying to communicate concerns about a rise in hate crimes throughout the country.

She pointed out the controversial phrasing she used falsely implied that Jews have not faced persecution. She then highlighted centuries of Jewish oppression and genocide in Europe, as well as the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, PA.

Susan went on to say she "deeply regrets diminishing the reality" and for voicing her hurtful remarks.

Susan Sarandon se está retractando de los comentarios antisemitas que hizo el mes pasado en una manifestación pro-palestina en Nueva York, ofreciendo sus disculpas a todos los que ofendió.

La actriz publicó una larga declaración en su Instagram el viernes, en donde explica que cometió un "terrible error" cuando dijo que los judíos están "saboreando lo que es ser musulmán en este país, tan a menudo sujetos a la violencia".

Susan pronunció estas palabras ante una gran multitud en la manifestación del 17 de noviembre en Union Square en Manhattan.

Los manifestantes estaban protestando contra la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, que estalló después de que el grupo terrorista invadiera el Estado judío el 7 de octubre. Los militantes de Hamás, que gobiernan a los palestinos en la Franja de Gaza, masacraron a unos 1.400 judíos, incluidos bebés.

En su mensaje de Instagram, Susan dijo que había sido invitada al acto, pero que se suponía que no iba a hablar, aunque terminó en el escenario con un micrófono en la mano, tratando de comunicar su preocupación por el aumento de los delitos motivados por el odio en todo el país.

Señaló que la polémica frase que utilizó implicaba falsamente que los judíos no habían sufrido persecución. A continuación, destacó los siglos de opresión judía y el genocidio en Europa, así como el tiroteo de Tree of Life en Pittsburgh.

Susan continuó diciendo que "lamenta profundamente haber empequeñecido la realidad" y haber expresado estos dolorosos comentarios.

Jimmy Kimmel better watch his back ... because his 13-year-old nephew, Wesley Kimmel, is banking on taking over Hollywood.

After all ... for his role as Dylan Callahan in the upcoming movie "Red One," the teen's minor contract, obtained by TMZ, unveils his whopping payday of $100K!!!

According to the contract, Wesley pocketed $95K in base pay for his work in the movie and banked an additional $5K for promoting it.

Wesley stars in "Red One" alongside big names Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Liu -- bagging the gig after paying his dues in Disney+ shows such as "The Mandalorian" and "WandaVision."

The movie's official release date is still under wraps ... though considering its festive, action-packed theme, it looks like it'll hit Amazon Prime in the run-up to Xmas.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is speaking out against the barbaric, unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel ... meeting with survivors and their families.

The former governor of California got emotional as he condemned the Oct. 7 slaughter of innocent civilians ... saying it's unlike anything he's ever seen and offering his support for Israel.

Arnold met with family members of Israeli hostages who are still being held by Hamas in Gaza .. presenting them with bronze eagle statues.

After the meeting, Arnold told us he's looking to spread peace ... because it's more powerful than hate and anger.

14-year-old Ella Shani was among the survivors traveling from Israel to Santa Monica to meet Arnold ... she recounted how her father was murdered on Oct. 7 by Hamas terrorists at Kibbutz Beeri, and how her 16-year-old cousin Amit Shani was kidnapped.

Ella says her cousin was hiding in a safe room in his home when Hamas set the place on fire and broke down the door. She says Amit and two other Israeli men from a neighboring house were ordered into a car, kidnapped and taken to Gaza.

As Ella spoke for about 30 minutes, Arnold teared up ... and they hugged in the end. He also showed her some of his cool movie memorabilia, like a robot head from 'Terminator.'

David Lynch, el hombre detrás de "Twin Peaks", "Mulholland Drive" y "Blue Velvet", acaba de recibir una petición de divorcio.

La esposa de David, Emily, ha presentado una demanda para poner fin a sus 14 años de matrimonio y no parece ser muy amistosa.

La esposa de la leyenda del cine, de 77 años, está pidiendo la custodia exclusiva, legal y física de su hija de 11 años. Emily quiere que David tenga derechos de visita, pero solo eso.

También está pidiendo la manutención del cónyuge y el pago de honorarios del abogado.

No hay evidencia sobre un acuerdo prenupcial, pero David ha sido una fuerza creativa importante en Hollywood durante décadas. También ha dirigido "El hombre elefante", "Corazón salvaje", "Carretera perdida" e "Inland Empire".

David Lynch, the man behind "Twin Peaks," "Mulholland Drive" and "Blue Velvet," is on the receiving end of a divorce petition.

David's wife, Emily, has filed to end their 14-year marriage, and it doesn't seem all that amicable.

The 77-year-old directing legend's wife is asking for sole legal and physical custody of their 11-year-old daughter. Emily wants David to have visitation rights, but that's it.

Emily is also asking for spousal support and attorney's fees.

There's no evidence of a prenup, but David has been a major force in Hollywood for decades. He's also directed "The Elephant Man," "Wild at Heart," "Lost Highway," and "Inland Empire."

Macaulay Culkin has gone from "Home Alone" to the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame ... reuniting with his former costar Catherine O'Hara 33 years after the festive classic.

Catherine gushed over his "perfect performance" during a heartfelt speech as he scooped a coveted Star during the ceremony in Hollywood Friday.

The event was also a big personal moment for Macaulay as he was supported by fiancée Brenda Song -- and their sons, 2-year-old Dakota and their 11-month-old baby boy Carson ... who made their public debut.

Macaulay later thanked Brenda in his speech ... gushing she was "absolutely everything" and "the best person I've ever known" -- adding, "And, after the birth of our two boys, you've become one of my three favorite people."

Macaulay also delighted onlookers with the movie's iconic quote: "Ya Filthy Animal!"

Unless you've been hiding under a rock ... Macaulay is best known for the role of Kevin McCallister in the OG "Home Alone", which he took on at age 10 ... later reprising his role in the 1992 sequel.

Macaulay Culkin pasó de "Mi pobre angelito" al icónico Paseo de la Fama en Hollywood, reuniéndose con su ex coprotagonista Catherine O'Hara 33 años después del clásico filme.

Catherine se deshizo en elogios sobre su "perfecta actuación" en un sentido discurso, mientras el actor recogía su codiciada estrella durante la ceremonia del viernes.

El evento también fue un gran momento personal para Macaulay, quien estuvo acompañado de su novia Brenda Song y de sus hijos, Dakota, de 2 años, y su bebé Carson, de 11 meses, quien además hizo su debut público.

Más tarde, Macaulay le dio las gracias a Brenda en su discurso. Efusivamente, dijo que era "absolutamente todo" y "la mejor persona que ha conocido". Añadió: "Y después del nacimiento de nuestros dos hijos te has convertido en una de mis tres personas favoritas".

Macaulay también deleitó a los espectadores con la icónica cita de la película: "¡Ya Filthy Animal!"

A menos que hayas estado escondido debajo de una roca, Macaulay es conocido por su papel de Kevin McCallister en el clásico "Mi pobre angelito", el que interpretó con solo 10 años. Más tarde retomó el papel en la secuela de 1992.

Jussie Smollett has lost his big appeal in his fake attack case, but that doesn't mean he's going straight to jail to serve his sentence ... not by a long shot.

As we reported, an Illinois appeals court ruled by a 2-1 vote to uphold his conviction for faking an "attack" on the streets of Chicago back in January 2019. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail, but only served 6 days before being freed pending appeal.

Well now the appeals court has spoken, but it's not the only appeals court. Jussie can, and has vowed, to file a petition with the Illinois Supreme Court to review his case. The High Court is not required to hear it -- it's discretionary -- but while he pushes for the Court to hear his case, he won't go back to jail.

We did some digging, and here's the way it works. Jussie has 35 days to file his appeal with the Illinois Supreme Court. It usually takes around 2 months for the court to decide whether it wants to hear a case. If they reject Jussie's, his appeals are pretty much over, and that would mean he'd be back in the pokey by late February or March.

Now if the appeal is granted, it would take around a year for the court to hear the case and make a decision. During that time, Jussie would be free. So if the Supreme Court hears the case and upholds the verdict, Jussie would go to jail, but that wouldn't happen until mid-2025!

In other words, Jussie could dodge jail for three and a half years after his conviction under that scenario.

Timothée Chalamet is spending a lot of time with girlfriend Kylie Jenner lately ...  maybe so much so, there's evidence the "Wonka" star could be taking style tips from KJ and her famous family.

Timothée hit the red carpet in Paris Friday for the premiere of "Wonka" at Cinema UCG Normandie. The actor looked sharp in black pants and a metallic chain-like top. Funny enough, the top is kinda-sorta similar to a popular look the KarJenner sisters have worn over the years -- with flashy metallic designs featuring a flowy style.

Of course, Timothee is no stranger to being fashion forward and pushing the envelope ... especially at his premieres.

Speaking of the "Wonka" movie ... TC's girlfriend Kylie attended the premiere in London earlier this week -- jetting overseas to watch the flick and attend the after-party.

The two have certainly gotten more comfortable going out in public over the last few months ... hitting tennis tournaments and various parties.

One big thing we've yet to see though, is the two together on a red carpet ... there are still plenty of "Wonka" premieres coming up, so maybe it'll happen.

Taylor Swift está reconociendo a una nueva Reina en Inglaterra ... ¡¡¡Beyoncé!!!

La estrella del pop acaba de publicar un enorme agradecimiento a Beyoncé por invitarla al estreno de su película "Renaissance" en Londres, rindiendo homenaje a la Queen B.

En una serie de fotos en sus redes, Taylor aparece posando con Beyoncé en el estreno y con su íntima amiga, Blake Lively, aparentemente en un evento posterior a la fiesta.

Taylor también le está pidiendo a sus fans que apoyen a B con la taquilla con el mensaje: "Renaissance: Una película de Beyoncé", que está llegando a los cines de todo el mundo.

Como informamos, Taylor voló para el estreno de la película en Londres esta semana, devolviéndole el favor después de acoger a Beyoncé en octubre para el lanzamiento de su película "Eras" en Los Ángeles.

Por supuesto, ambas superestrellas han realizado giras mundiales de gran éxito este año, presentando sus nuevos álbumes y sus éxitos en diferentes lugares con las entradas agotadas, y ambas han convertido sus conciertos en películas.

Se espera que la película de Bey recaude 40 millones de dólares en todo el mundo. La película "Eras" de Taylor ha recaudado 250 millones de dólares desde su estreno en octubre.

Taylor Swift's recognizing a new Queen in England ... Beyoncé!!!

Taylor just posted a huge thank you to Beyoncé for inviting her to the London premiere of the 'Renaissance' movie ... paying homage to the Queen B.

In a series of photos shared on her social media, Taylor is posing with Beyoncé at the premiere, and hanging out with her close friend, Blake Lively, seemingly at an after-party event.

Taylor's also calling on fans to go support Beyoncé at the box office ... telling them to see her concert film, "Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé," which is hitting theaters worldwide.

As we reported ... Taylor flew out to this week's movie premiere in London, returning the favor after hosting Beyoncé back in October at the Los Angeles release of her 'Eras' tour movie.

Of course, both superstars had wildly successful world tours this year -- performing new albums and classic hits to sold-out venues -- and they both turned the concerts into movies.

Bey's flick is expected to rake in as much as $40 million globally. Taylor's "Eras" movie has grossed $250 mil since its release in October.

10:05 AM PT -- Jussie Smollett y su equipo no van a caer sin antes luchar, un representante nos dice: "Queremos destacar que la decisión fue dividida, con el juez Lyle ofreciendo un análisis detallado a favor de Smollett. Nos estamos preparando para elevar este asunto al Tribunal Supremo, armados con un conjunto sustancial de pruebas".

Jussie Smollett acaba de recibir un gran portazo en los tribunales, pues su condena por haber falseado un ataque acaba de ser confirmada.

Un tribunal de apelaciones de Illinois emitió el fallo el viernes. El panel de tres jueces votó 2-1 para mantener la condena de Jussie, de acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ.

La clave de la apelación de Jussie era el argumento de que él no puede ser procesado porque, después de la acusación inicial, la Fiscal del Estado del Condado de Cook, Kim Foxx, decidió no procesar el caso. Ello suscitó enormes críticas y se nombró a un fiscal especial que, en última instancia, acudió al gran jurado que lo volvió a acusar.

Los dos jueces que confirmaron la condena dijeron que no era relevante que se hubiese retirado la acusación inicial. El juez que discrepó, en tanto, dijo que la decisión de Foxx de no procesar el caso era en realidad una promesa a Jussie de que este había terminado.

Con el fallo, es probable que Jussie regrese a una cárcel de Chicago para completar su condena de 150 días.

Recordemos, el actor fue condenado inicialmente en 2022 y pasó 6 días en la cárcel del condado de Cook antes de ser puesto en libertad mientras intentaba conseguir que anularan su sentencia.

Ahora, Jussie se ha quedado con las manos vacías, pero su equipo legal tiene la opción de apelar la decisión a la Corte Suprema de Illinois, que luego decidiría si escuchar el caso.

Durante su apelación, Jussie lanzó nueva música, dirigió una película con Vivica A. Fox, hizo ejercicio con Taraji P. Henson, fue a rehabilitación y se afeitó la cabeza.

Será interesante ver si Jussie apela nuevamente, o bien, si se dirige de otra vez a la cárcel ... Permanezcan atentos.
