Photo Credit: Netflix Greta Gerwig has claimed an early win with her next directorial project, aka Narnia. Netflix’s earnings call revealed that the first trailer for her adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s classic has shattered a viewership record set by her own blockbuster, signalling massive audience anticipation. Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer got more than double of Barbie’s views The numbers tell a striking story. According to WaveMetrix data shared during Netflix’s earnings call, the Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer pulled in 481.3 million views within its first seven days. That total more than doubles the 240 million views that the Barbie trailer got in the same timeframe. The Greta Gerwig project also outpaced rival trailers including Wonka at 237.2 million and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie at 281.6 million. Audiences pushed the preview to No. 1 on X, and it still holds the top spot among trending movie trailers on YouTube. Traffic overwhelmed NarniaFilm.com so heavily that the site briefly went down. Netflix debuted the trailer on October 13 at an IMAX sneak-peek event in New York City. Gerwig spoke with Stephen Colbert about her personal history with Lewis’s work and her approach to filming the origin story for the first time on screen. The preview also broke new ground in music licensing. Led Zeppelin permitted “Stairway to Heaven” for a film trailer for the first time ever. Jimmy Page publicly called Gerwig “a powerhouse in the world of cinema.” Gerwig told Colbert she felt “so moved that they allowed me to use the song,” noting the band members revere Lewis and recognized the story’s spiritual core. Netflix backed the launch with worldwide paid media spanning TikTok, Reddit, Meta, X, Snap, Pinterest, YouTube, connected TV, and NFL programming (via Deadli

Photo Credit: NBC Curious about who’s been cast as Dominic Marino on Days of Our Lives and what his arrival means for Salem? As the supposed son of Marlena Evans and Stefano DiMera, his debut next month could reshape the dynamics between two of the show’s most powerful families. A recent episode already teased the mysterious newcomer, setting the stage for major storylines ahead. Here is everything we know about Dominic Marino’s casting and debut on Days of Our Lives. Days of Our Lives casts Kyle Pryor to play Marlena and Stefano’s son Pryor’s Dominic Marino will debut on Days of Our Lives on November 2. For months, the show has been setting up the arrival of his character. It’s known that he tried to buy the Kiriakis mansion and also seemed to have teamed up with Dante Vitali. During a recent episode, Dominic was spotted in a picture during Dante’s conversation with Marlena and Roman Brady. There, Dante asked them if he could marry Sami. Marlena and Roman eventually agreed, as they believed that he would in turn provide them with information about Dominic. Dante said that he doesn’t know much about Dominic, but he showed them a photo of him. While Marlena didn’t find him familiar, Dante noted that they have a physical resemblance. If Dominic turns out to be Marlena and Stefano’s son, then he would have access to both the Brady and DiMera families, making him related to several important characters. Pryor started his acting career as a stuntman on Underworld: Rise of the Lycans in 2009. He made his official acting debut in Spartacus: Blood and Sand in 2010.

Jimmy Fallon Takes a Shot at Melania Trump as ‘President Trump Fired’ Katie Zacharia

Photo Credit: @fallontonight / YouTube Jimmy Fallon drew a mix of laughs, groans and gasps from his studio audience Monday after aiming a joke at first lady Melania Trump while riffing on the alleged firing of White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia. The late night host opened his Monday monologue by tying the shake-up to the calendar. Zacharia’s exit came just days into the job, and the midterm elections are only weeks away. Jimmy Fallon stuns Tonight show crowd with a recap of Katie Zacharia’s firing “The midterm elections are just 15 days away. Yeah, that’s not a lot of time. That’s only three White House press secretaries from now,” Fallon said. He then turned to Zacharia’s exit. “Yeah, everyone’s talking about this, President Trump fired his new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, after just five days on the job. It’s not good when the edible arrangement you got on your first day is still edible on your last day. It’s finally ripe.” Fallon next turned to Kimberly Guilfoyle, joking that she “was like, ‘Hey, thanks for changing the subject.’” He said Zacharia “spent just five days in the White House.” The host further added, “On the bright side, Melania was like, ‘That’s five more than me.’” Fallon then moved on quickly and pivoted to FBI Director Kash Patel. “Five days. Kash Patel was like, ‘Damn, I’ve had hangovers last longer than that,” the TV anchor quipped. The host closed the segment by reading what he described as the official White House job application for Zacharia’s successor. The bit drew steady laughs. “Of course, now Trump needs a new press secretary, and we got to look at the questions on the official White House job application,” Fallon said. “Check these out. First up, there’s, ‘Are you free for the next five days?’ Up next, there’s, ‘Do you look a l
