Netflix Sees Spike In Subscription Cancellations: Here's Why

Netflix is experiencing a surge in subscription cancellations over its animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park and controversial remarks by the show's creator, Hamish Steele. Last month, Steele sparked outrage when he commented on the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, calling him a "Nazi." The remarks did not sit well with many viewers, prompting some to cancel their subscriptions to the OTT giant as a mark of protest. When UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer paid tribute to Kirk in his social media post, Steele wrote, "Why the f**k are you even commenting on this, d***k***d? You sympathy for any of the families being slaughtered by your weapons but a random Nazi gets shot and its public statement. You're such a ducking shit evil."

Box Office Report: Ranbir Kapoor's Animal Is Still Going Strong

After the release of Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki and Prabhas' Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire, the box office numbers of Animal are slowly declining. On day 22, the film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, collected Rs 1.15 crore (for all languages), as per a Sacnilk report. In total, the film depicting a complex father-son relationship and power-packed action has garnered Rs 532.44 crore domestically. In addition to Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna's chemistry, fans have equally showered love on the antagonist Bobby Deol, who played Abrar Haque, and Triptii Dimri, who was seen as Zoya.

Despite the significant success of Animal at the box office, a portion of the audience expressed dissatisfaction with a particular sequence in the film, questioning the mindset of Ranbir Kapoor's character, who had an extra-marital affair with Zoya. The director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has recently addressed the concerns raised about a specific scene where Ranvijay asks his wife Geetanjali (Rashmika) not to remarry if he does not return.

In response to the criticism, Sandeep Reddy Vanga explained to Galatta Plus, “In relationships, most of the time, you're done. Multiple partners could be a habit. Once you're with one person, and share of love with that one person, you are done for life. That could be the exchange between Geetanjali and Ranvijay. And knowing the psyche of Geetanjali, there are so many things in a relationship that are unsaid, so he must have felt that she can't make it with anybody else, so she'd better remain single.”

“He doesn't want his kids to be seeing Geetanjali with another father. It has nothing to do with a generalised feeling, it's purely personal,” Sandeep Reddy Vanga added.

In his review for NDTV, Saibal Chatterjee gave Animal 1.5 stars and said, “Animal is the kind of film that would have us believe that it is no big deal for a loving son to go berserk when it comes to tackling those who threaten the well-being of his dad and his two sisters. Since danger seems to lurk over the family at every corner, he has the licence to be as boorish as he wants to be.”

Animal was released on December 1. Ranbir Kapoor's film clashed with Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur at the box office.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
