"Dracula's Last Voyage of the Demeter Sinks at Box Office, Delaying UK Release Indefinitely"

The UK release of the film "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" has been indefinitely delayed due to the closure of UK distributor eOne, which is being sold to Lionsgate. The movie had a poor opening weekend in the United States and is now facing uncertainty regarding its release in other countries, including India. Staggered international releases in the horror genre often hinder box office potential, and the delay in the UK release further dampens the film's chances of success.

Lionsgate Acquires eOne from Hasbro in $500M Deal

Lionsgate has finalized a deal to acquire Entertainment One's (eOne) TV and film operations from Hasbro for approximately $500 million. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The sale includes a talented team of employees, a content library of nearly 6,500 titles, active productions for non-Hasbro owned IP, and the eOne unscripted business. Hasbro will continue to focus on developing and producing entertainment based on its own brands, while popular IPs like "Peppa Pig" and "Transformers" will receive significant support in film, TV, animation, and digital shorts.

"Dungeons & Dragons" franchise sees mixed success in box office and previews.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves made $5.6M in previews, including advance Amazon sneaks, ahead of its projected $30M-$40M domestic opening. The film is the only live-action fanboy choice heading into the Easter frame next weekend and is hoping for a strong opening. However, it faces competition from Lionsgate's John Wick: Chapter 4, which is expected to open with at least $30M even if it tumbles 60%. D&D is also hitting 58 offshore territories with an outlook of $25M+ and a hopeful $65M global start.
