“Weapons” had no trouble retaining its top spot at the box office on Friday, but there’s another release still chasing after it. With movie theaters getting quiet as the summer season winds down, Netflix’s animated streaming smash “KPop Demon Hunters” may actually end up winning the weekend, with a two-day release of a sing-along version.

Social networking startup Bluesky has made the decision to block access to its service in the state of Mississippi, rather than comply with a new age assurance law. In a blog post published on Friday, the company explains that, as a small team, it doesn’t have the resources to make the substantial technical changes this type of law would require, and it raised concerns about the law’s broad scope and privacy implications. Mississippi’s HB 1126 requires platforms to introduce age verification for all users before they can access social networks like Bluesky. On Thursday, U.S. Supreme Court justices decided to…

It is clear, as we look forward to this autumn’s new films, that a crimewave of sorts is happening. Whether cosy or brutal, true-crime-ish or fictional, filled with forensic crime scenes and hazmat-suited people shuffling out of despoiled apartments, or with twinkly-eyed character actors sampling cake and making coppers look like chumps, or with stylish lone women menaced by a criminal mystery that only they can solve … crime is everywhere, and showing it’s a solid bet at the movies.True crime and cold crime podcast fanciers are being catered for, and lovers of genteel murder mysteries, and those who might…
