“A Quiet Place,” an almost wordless Paramount production, stars actor/director John Krasinski and real-life wife Emily Blunt as a couple silently struggling to protect their family from invading aliens that are blind but can track their prey by sound.

The film took in a $22 million for a total of $132.4 million since opening atop the box office early this month.

Fallen from the top spot to number two was “Rampage,” starring hard-working Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson as a primatologist who befriends an albino gorilla — which grows to enormous size after a rogue experiment and then teams with Johnson to stop invading monsters. Naomie Harris co-stars.

The video-game inspired “Rampage” took in $21 million for the weekend for a total of $66.6 million in two weeks, against a budget of $120 million.

In third place was “I Feel Pretty,” an Amy Schumer film about a self-conscious woman who suffers a head injury and subsequently sees herself as beautiful, which made $16.2 million on its debut weekend.

In fourth was “Super Troopers 2” — the long-awaited sequel to the 2001 film about a ne’er-do-well group of cops — in which the protagonists are tasked with replacing a Mountie unit in a Canadian town that is found to be part of the US.

The partially crowd-funded film made $14.7 million on its first weekend.

In fifth was “Truth or Dare,” a supernatural thriller starring Lucy Hale and Tyler Posey as spring breakers caught up in an innocent game that turns deadly. The film made $7.9 million on its second weekend.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

“Ready Player One” ($7.5 million)

“Blockers” ($7 million)

“Black Panther” ($4.6 million)

“Traffik” ($3.9 million)

“Isle of Dogs” ($3.4 million)

The show is about the budding relationship between Yoon Jin-ah (played by Son Ye-jin) and her best friend’s younger brother, Seo Joon-hee (Jung Hae-in), who have known each other since childhood.

The story begins with Joon-hee’s reunion with Jin-ah after completing an overseas assignment. Working in the same office building, their feelings for each other grow through different daily encounters – both intentional and unintentional – and their friendship slowly transforms into somewhat different and sweet.

There’s no groundbreaking moment, but both admit they want to be more than just friends.

Directed by An Pan Seok, who worked on other K-drama series such as “Secret Affair”, the show stars Son Ye-jin, who rose to fame in romantic TV series and films such as “The Classic”. Her most recent movie, in which she stars with So Ji-sub, is a remake of the famous Japanese romance “Be With You” and will be released in Thailand on June 23.

Meanwhile rising star Jung Hae-in gained increased recognition for his supporting roles in the 2017 television series “While You Were Sleeping” and a later appearance in “Prison Playbook”.

Netflix members will be able to watch the first four episodes of the series today. Two more episodes will premiere on Netflix every Friday.

And it seems that when it comes to watching TV, 80 per cent of Thais find pets to be the best binge partner and 87 per cent of Thais have watched Netflix with their pets!

Watching a show with someone else can sometimes have its downsides, like being told what’s going to happen or incessant chatter, Not only do pets not hog the remote or judge your entertainment tastes (well, maybe), they make the perfect partners for the company. The cuddles are most prominent, with 47 per cent of Thai viewers turning to their furry friends for comfort during a sad or scary scene, making Thailand is the top country globally to cuddle with their pet.

Though you should be warned that pet bingeing can also be ruff. Thirty per cent of Thai members said they have moved seats so their pet would be more comfortable. Thirty two per cent have bribed them with treats to watch longer, and some (11 per cent) have even gone so far as turning off a show because their pet didn’t appear to like it. The snuggle is real.

So what are the shows everyone is barking, meowing and chirping about? Thai pet owners are more likely to choose a mix of sci-fi series like “Star Trek Discovery” and a little action like “The Last Kingdom” or even go for a teen drama like “13 Reasons Why”. Dark comedies like “Santa Clarita Diet” and “Big Mouth” made the top 5 as well.

Taviani and his brother Paolo formed one of Italian cinema’s most famous duos and together they made more than 15 films.

One of their best-known was the gritty biopic “Padre Padrone”, set in Sardinia, which won the top Palme d’Or prize at Cannes in 1977.

Born in San Miniato, Tuscany, on September 20, 1929, Taviani died in Rome after suffering from a long-term illness.

Another of the brothers’ critically acclaimed films is 2012’s “Caesar Must Die”, for which they won the Golden Bear prize at the Berlin International Film Festival.

The pair’s father was an anti-fascist lawyer and they had an early interest in social issues, which they later translated onto the screen.

Speaking to the industry magazine Variety, Ted Sarandos said the festival — whose selection will be made public Thursday — had instituted a new rule prohibiting any film without a theatrical distribution in France from competing for main prizes.

“We want our films to be on fair ground with every other filmmaker,” Sarandos said. “There’s a risk in us going in this way and having our films and filmmakers treated disrespectfully at the festival.”

“They’ve set the tone. I don’t think it would be good for us to be there.”

Netflix showed two films at the prestigious film festival last year — but triggered scandal over its refusal to show “Okja” in French cinemas before distributing it for streaming to its subscribers.

The streaming giant also showed the film “The Meyerowitz Stories” by Noah Baumbach at the festival.

French law stipulates movies cannot be available for home streaming until three years after a cinematic premiere.

The timeline is considered largely obsolete due to a spike in piracy and streaming platforms in the United States like Netflix and Amazon.

Netflix has voiced willingness to taking films to French theaters — but refuses to wait three years to make it available on its platform.

“I can confirm our office received a case” involving Spacey, said Greg Risling, a spokesman for Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey told AFP.

But according to celebrity news site TMZ, the case will likely be rejected because it involves an allegation from the 1990s and is outside the statute of limitations.

The 58-year-old is also being investigated over similar allegations in London and Nantucket, an island off the coast of Massachusetts.

Two-time Oscar winner Spacey has disappeared from public life. Considered one of the pre-eminent actors of his generation, he was dropped from Ridley Scott’s “All The Money In The World” and expunged from the Netflix hit show “House of Cards.”

Case files on Harvey Weinstein, the Hollywood producer whose downfall sparked the #MeToo movement against powerful male harassers, and martial arts star Steven Seagal “remain under review,” said Risling.
