‘Dungeons & Dragons’ opens with $38.5M, takes down John Wick

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:29:48 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Riding terrific reviews and a strong word-of-mouth, the role playing game adaptation “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” opened with $38.5 million in U.S. and Canadian movie theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday, stealing the top box-office perch from “John Wick: Chapter 4.” The Paramount Pictures and eOne release appealed to more moviegoers than many expected a film based on a notoriously niche table top game to interest. “Game Night” directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley turned in a rollicking comic action-adventure, with a cast including Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page and Hugh Grant, that’s bringing in ticket buyers less familiar with “D&D.” Audiences gave “Honor Among Thieves,” which launched with a raucous opening-night premiere at SXSW, an A- CinemaScore.

For want of a pipeline: Canadian LNG should power low-carbon revolution, report says

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:29:48 GMT

WASHINGTON — As the world struggles to find the right balance between a carbon-free future and a present that still runs on fossil fuels, Canada could be leveraging its natural-gas riches to help fuel both, a new report suggests. The report, to be released Monday by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, urges the federal government to finally get serious about building the infrastructure necessary to fast-track the extraction and export of liquid natural gas. The carbon-credits clause of the 2015 Paris climate accord could be a “key driver of growth” for the LNG sector if Canadian natural gas were to become a viable alternative for coal-fired power plants around the world, it suggests.“This initiative could not only support natural gas exports but an array of services, technology, and materials exports,” writes Eric Miller, president of the D.C.-based Rideau Potomac Strategy Group and the report’s author.“Canada should use the global carbon market fra...

Fetterman outlines 'downward spiral' that led to depression diagnosis

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:29:48 GMT

(The Hill) – Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), who was released from the hospital last week following treatment for clinical depression, detailed the “downward spiral” that led to him seeking help for his depression in February.“It's like, you just won the biggest race in the country,” Fetterman said to CBS Sunday Morning in his first interview since checking into treatment. “And the whole thing about depression is that objectively, you may have won, but depression can absolutely convince you that you actually lost. And that's exactly what happened. And that was the start of a downward spiral.”Fetterman, who defeated Mehmet Oz in one of the most closely-watched and high stakes Senate races in 2022, was released from the hospital on Friday and will spend time with his family at home in Pennsylvania while the Senate is on a two week recess. The win over Oz helped Democrats secure a majority in the pivotal upper chamber.Fetterman said he expects to be back in the Senate when it reconvenes t...

Severe thunderstorm threat this afternoon and evening

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:29:48 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- The Storm Prediction Center continues to keep a watch on Central Texas with much of the area under a Slight risk (Category 2 of 5) for severe thunderstorms. Large hail will be the main risk but damaging straight line winds will also be possible. And, there will be a threat of an isolated tornado. We should always be prepared for these weather threats.The Storm Prediction Center is also suggesting that a weather watch is being considered for later this afternoon. What may deter or delay the development of thunderstorms is the cap as winds several thousand feet up are coming from the southwest, thus a warming wind.Severe risk for the afternoon and eveningThe flow off the Gulf has increased surface moisture reflected by noon dew points mostly in the middle/upper 60s to low/mid 70s. One of the weather features likely to influence the development of thunderstorms, the dryline, is out near Big Spring moving east. However, we have yet to see any rain/storms develop there....
