Audience Rejection of Joker 2 Could Impact James Gunn’s Superman Movie

Image
Photo: Joaquin Phoenix (Instagram) The latest DC movie, Joker: Folie À Deux , has not performed well at the box office, and this could affect future DC films, including James Gunn’s upcoming Superman  project.  The sequel to the original Joker  movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga , made less than $38 million during its opening weekend in the U.S. This is much lower than expected, and fans seem to be rejecting the film.

US Court Orders Mayweather To Pay Nigerian Firm $2.4 Million For Contract Breach

Image
Photo: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Instagram) A U.S. court has ruled that former boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. must pay $2.4 million to Zinni Media Concept Limited, a Nigerian company.  The case involves a contract breach from 2017 when Mayweather agreed to make appearances in Africa, including Nigeria.  However, he canceled the deal and did not return the money paid in advance. Zinni Media sued Mayweather in 2018, claiming breach of contract and fraud.  Photo: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Instagram) In October 2023, a court ordered Mayweather to pay nearly $2.4 million in damages, interest, and legal fees. Mayweather appealed, but in August 2024, the appellate court upheld the decision. The court also allowed U.S. attorneys to take action, possibly seizing Mayweather’s luxury cars to cover the debt. So far, he has not made the payment, and interest is adding up at 10% per year. Read Next: Alex Pereira Requests Break After UFC 307 Win; Magomed Ankalaev Eyes Title Fight Source: Vanguard
