'Melania' falls steeply and 'Send Help' holds steady at No. 1 on a quiet weekend in theaters

NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood largely ceded attention to football over a slow box-office weekend, with the survival thriller “Send Help” repeating as No. 1 in ticket sales and the Melania Trump documentary “Melania” falling sharply in its second weekend.

Super Bowl weekend is typically one of the lowest attended moviegoing times of the year. It was the second slowest weekend last year and in 2024 it ranked dead last for moviegoing.

There is only one speed for maybe the fiercest competitor to ever snap into a pair of skis and point them down the side of a mountain: as fast as she possibly can, for as long as she possibly can, as relentlessly as she possibly can.

Other times, like a sun-splashed Sunday in a place that's long felt like a second home, at an event that has... Read More

BANGKOK (AP) — The Bhumjaithai party of Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul took a commanding lead in Thailand’s general election Sunday, with about 90% of the voting reported, according to unofficial results from the state Election Commission.

The commission’s running count, shown on its website, indicated that the conservative Bhumjaithai party had just before midnight attained 195 seats in the 500-member House of Representatives.

A simple majority of 251 seats is needed for the body to elect a prime minister to form a new government. It was not clear if that was... Read More
