The film starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, simply known as The Drama, has surpassed the $100 million mark in worldwide earnings. This milestone makes it the fifth film from the studio A24 to reach this figure in its 13-year history, solidifying the success of the film that has captured the public’s interest not only for its plot but also for the romance between its two main actors. Two luxury stars Directed and written by Kristoffer Borgli, the production had a net cost of $28 million. Despite its modest budget, […]
Directed and written by Kristoffer Borgli, the production had a net cost of $28 million. Despite its modest budget, The Drama has achieved remarkable box office performance, even surpassing the global earnings of other Zendaya productions that are not based on known intellectual properties.
This economic success reinforces the appeal of the protagonists, who have been in the media spotlight, fueling both interest in the film and their own professional careers.
The chemistry between Zendaya and Pattinson has been fundamental to the impact the movie has had on the audience, suggesting that their relationship, both on screen and in real life, could be attracting more viewers to theaters. This also indicates a growing trend in public interest in stories that explore the complexities of contemporary romance.
With its box office success, The Drama has decided to position itself among the A24 productions that have made milestones in the film industry. As the film continues its commercial run, more reflections on its cultural and commercial impact on the current film landscape can be anticipated.
It seemed like it would never arrive, but the third season of Euphoria has finally premiered, with Zendaya more at the peak of her game than ever and rumors of tension between her and Sydney Sweeney (apparently due to jealousy over Tom Holland). As always, the new episodes of the series have presented chaos, love, sex, madness, broken characters, and drugs, a cocktail that has been working perfectly since its premiere back in 2019. Well, or that’s what HBO has made us believe, completely hiding a reality that screams: Euphoria is not created […]
It seemed like it would never arrive, but the third season of Euphoria has finally premiered, with Zendaya more at the peak of her game than ever and rumors of tension between her and Sydney Sweeney (apparently due to jealousy over Tom Holland). As always, the new episodes of the series have presented chaos, love, sex, madness, broken characters, and drugs, a cocktail that has been working perfectly since its premiere back in 2019. Well, or that’s what HBO has made us believe, completely hiding a reality that screams: Euphoria was not created by Sam Levinson nor is it a completely original idea: in fact, it is a remake.
Euphoria Dysphoria
Seven years before the premiere of Euphoria on HBO, the Israeli channel Hot 3 premiered, well… Euphoria, a series created by Ron Leshem, Dafna Levin, and Timira Yardeni that aired from November 30, 2012, to February 1, 2013 causing all kinds of controversies along the way. If you have seen the American series, you already know that its protagonists navigate a path of loss, drug addiction, and sex, and the Israeli Programming Council did not like it at all. In fact, they disliked it so much that they ordered it to be removed due to public scandal.
In all honesty, they ended up doing it, but through the back door: after just one season and some not-so-good reviews, it was canceled without hesitation. After all, it didn’t have great success, partly because it aired in a very difficult time slot to build a community. In any case, its 10 episodes became a full cult, thanks to dialogues like this: “When you were seven, people jumped from the Twin Towers live. And it was repulsive, and exciting, and logical. Parents have drowned their children. Children have stabbed their parents. So at seven, you get hooked on the news. And then you feed on that. What could shock you when you’re eight?”. Imagine, for the time and in a society as enclosed as Israeli society, what that could have meant.
Using the British Skins as a basis (a fantastic series in every way, at least in its first two seasons), Euphoria aimed to show a reality that the media refused to portray in Israel. Shortly after its cancellation, Sam Levinson had a meeting with HBO to adapt it for the American market. However, he wanted to understand exactly what was appealing to the network, so they were very honest with him: the raw and honest portrayal of drugs and being young. “I started talking about my personal story with drugs. I was an addict for many years and now I’m clean. Then they said ‘Okay, write that'”, Levinson recounted.
Levinson did not copy Euphoria exactly, but he did create several parallels between the stories of the Israeli version and the new ones he specifically created for the United States. What’s the result? You know it all too well: three successful seasons on HBO, while the original can’t even be seen on a streaming platform, condemned to oblivion. That said, its creators can be happy, because they have made a fortune: in addition to Rue, Euphoria had its German version in 2025, although it wasn’t exactly a hit: in fact, it was seen as a plagiarism of the American one… Just without Zendaya in the mix. And whether you like it or not, it loses something.
So now you know: the next time you watch Euphoria, remember that, somewhere, its original version, forgotten by everyone, seems to remind us that this is and has always been a tale of the rich and the poor, of lucky people and those who are not. Of the United States and the rest.
The third season of Euphoria, the acclaimed series starring Zendaya, has arrived marked by adverse reviews that have made it the lowest rated to date. With a score of just 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, the reception has been considerably negative, which contrasts with the anticipation generated by its return after a long hiatus. Bad reviews? Sure hit Despite the harsh criticism, the series has positioned itself as the most watched on HBO Max, sweeping across 55 countries, including Spain.

With a score of just 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, the reception has been considerably negative, which contrasts with the anticipation generated by its return after a prolonged hiatus.
Bad reviews? Guaranteed success
Despite the harsh criticism, the series has positioned itself as the most-watched on HBO Max, sweeping across 55 countries, including Spain. This phenomenon demonstrates that, despite the unfavorable ratings from both the audience and critics, viewers remain very interested in following the storylines of teenagers in Los Angeles.
In this return, Euphoria has managed to dethrone The Pitt, which had previously dominated the platform’s ranking. The popularity of the series persists, even though its third season has been the subject of intense criticism and mixed opinions. This reception seems to have had no effect on its audience, at least in terms of viewership.
The first episode of the new season shows certain influences from The Idol, a series that has also faced criticism from an audience that continues to explore the complexities of the entertainment world and fame. In this sense, it can be observed that three of the protagonists of Euphoria deal with issues related to the entertainment industry, something that seems to resonate with the audience, as evidenced by the growing popularity of The Idol, now ranked as the fifth most-watched series on the platform.
While the official audience data has not yet been published by HBO, the phenomenon of Euphoria seems to continue despite negative opinions, raising questions about the future of the series and its narrative development in this new chapter.
HBO has officially announced that the third season of the acclaimed series Euphoria will return on Sunday, April 12. Fans of the series will be able to enjoy new episodes every Sunday night, which promises to keep viewers hooked with the intense and emotional narrative that characterizes the production. The return of Rue The third season, created by Sam Levinson, will consist of eight episodes, an extension that allows for a deeper exploration of the complicated lives of the main characters and their internal struggles.

The Return of Rue
The third season, created by Sam Levinson, will consist of eight episodes, an extension that allows for a deeper exploration of the complicated lives of the main characters and their internal struggles. This return has been highly anticipated, and to heighten the excitement, HBO has released a trailer that offers a first look at what fans can expect. The images from the trailer suggest a continuity in the series’ distinctive visual style, as well as a renewed focus on the dynamics between the characters and the challenges they face.
As the release date approaches, speculation about the direction of the plot and character development is on the rise. Although some rumors suggest that this season could delve deeper into themes of identity and personal growth, it is important to note that no specific details about the narrative have been confirmed by the creators. However, the anticipation for new twists and intriguing plots is high among the series fans.
Euphoria has been a phenomenon since its debut, receiving critical acclaim and amassing a loyal fan base. With the return of its third season, HBO hopes to further solidify the relevance of this series in today’s entertainment landscape.
Spider-Man is one of the most beloved characters in American comics. Outside of Batman and Superman, there is probably no other character more recognized, loved, and adored around the planet. And there are plenty of reasons for it. With a rich and deep story, with comics that continue to this day and numerous adaptations for different generations, Marvel has done an excellent job of making him our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Spider-Man is one of the most beloved characters in American comics. Outside of Batman and Superman, there is probably no other character more recognized, loved, and adored around the globe. And there are plenty of reasons for that. With a rich and deep story, with comics that continue to this day and numerous adaptations for different generations, Marvel has done an excellent job of making him our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
That doesn’t change the fact that neither Marvel nor Disney+ is the big beneficiary of its time in theaters. Not in modern times. Because if you want to watch Spider-Man streaming, we fear it has been more difficult than it should have been for a long time. At least until the man in red decided to get to work and bring us our favorite spider. Because Spider-Man is coming home for Christmas.
Spider-Man arrives with all his movies to streaming
The first movie to arrive in the HBO Max catalog on December 22 is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. An animated film directed by Peter Ramsey, Rodney Rothman, and Bob Persichetti that surprised both fans and newcomers for several reasons. The first is that this Spider-Man was not Peter Parker, but the more recent Miles Morales. The other is that it took place in a comic book line that has been very popular in recent years: the Spider-Verse.
For the uninitiated, the Spider-Verse is a comic book series published since 2014, featuring Spider-Mans from different universes within the continuity of Marvel comics. This means that there are all kinds of Spider-Man, with all kinds of unique characteristics, something that had been explored previously in Spider-Man comics, but which began to be exploited more methodically starting with this comic book series.
With Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, they wanted to bring this to the big screen with a movie that not only introduced as many different Spider-Men as possible but also featured a striking and very dynamic visual style. And they succeeded. With a vibrant and very unique style, this movie cost 90 million dollars and managed to gross over 384 million dollars, becoming one of the most beloved and appreciated Spider-Man films to date.
So much so that even the critics surrendered at its feet. Winning the Award for Best Animated Feature at the Annie Awards, the Golden Globes, the Critics’ Choice Awards, the BAFTAs, and the Oscars, it was the big winner of 2018 among live-action and animated films. Demonstrating that there were still many things to do with Spider-Man.
Three for the MCU and a much-anticipated return
But Spider-Man doesn’t end here for Christmas. On the 24th, to have the best possible Christmas plans, the three most recent movies of the web-slinger will arrive on the streaming service Max: Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Directed by John Watts, the three films need no introduction. Although they cost 200 million dollars each, they made ten times their budget at the box office and were a tremendous success for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, who made a joint investment in these films to allow Spider-Man to appear in the MCU. With Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya as MJ, they have already become three films that, for an entire generation, are synonymous with Spider-Man.
The next movie in the franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is scheduled to be released on July 31, 2026, and we only know one concrete detail: this time it will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. This also explains why this trilogy is now coming to streaming services.
On December 27, just in time to close the year, we will get the last of the Spider-Man movies we were missing, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. A sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, directed this time by Joaquim dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, and which expands the premise of the original by having Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy travel through the entire Multiverse to save the rest of Spider-Man from a threat that could jeopardize their existence.
Thanks to the success of the previous film, its budget swelled to 150 million dollars, but with the audience already familiar with the movie, they also responded better. Achieving over 690 million dollars at the box office, it was one of the big successes of 2023, being considered by critics as the best animated film of the year and even one of the best films of the year, overall.
With a sequel in development, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, scheduled to be released on June 25, 2027, we will still have to wait to see the continuation of the stories of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy. But in the meantime, thanks to Max, we have a fantastic way to spend this Christmas.

However, what should be a week of joy turns into a true challenge when a series of unexpected twists disrupt their plans. This dramatic turn raises questions about the nature of love and the difficulties that can arise even in the most anticipated moments of life.

The narrative, which combines elements of drama and comedy, suggests a story rich in both emotional and hilarious situations, characteristics that A24 has proven to master in its previous productions.

In a news story that has taken many movie and comic fans by surprise, Sadie Sink, known for her role as Max Mayfield in the series Stranger Things, joins the cast of Spider-Man 4. The production, which will begin this year and is expected to be released on July 31, 2026, will feature Tom Holland reprising his iconic role as Peter Parker, while Zendaya has not yet been confirmed, adding an air of uncertainty about the romantic future of her character, MJ, following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
A role that is still not fully decided
The nature of Sink’s role remains a mystery, which has led to speculation and theories among fans. Some suggest that she could bring Gwen Stacy to life, a character who has been central in several adaptations of the spider and a significant love interest for Parker. Other rumors point to Sink possibly portraying Felicia Hardy, better known as Black Cat, a highly anticipated character on the big screen. Finally, there is the possibility that she is destined for a more ambitious role: that of Jean Grey from the X-Men, which could represent a significant step in the integration of mutants into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Since Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, fans have been anticipating the arrival of the X-Men in the MCU, and the potential choice of Sink as Jean Grey could be a sign of future plans. Her inclusion in Spider-Man 4, whether as Gwen, Felicia, or Jean, would indicate Marvel’s intention to expand its narrative universe and offer new directions for Peter Parker, after completing his previous trilogy.
With the release of Spider-Man 4 still a few years away, fans are eager to find out what direction the franchise will take and who will be Peter Parker’s next big love interest. In the meantime, the debate continues on social media. Will Sadie Sink become the new face of one of these iconic heroines? Only time will tell.

Denis Villeneuve has surprised the film industry by announcing that he will begin filming Dune: Messiah in June 2025, thus advancing production several months ahead of schedule. This revelation came during an event prior to the BAFTA gala, where several sources close to the production shared the information. This change of plans puts the third installment of the saga on a fast track, with the aim of releasing it in December 2026.
The new movie will continue the narrative of the saga and will be set years after the events of Dune: Part Two, exploring the consequences of Paul Atreides’ rise to power and the beginning of a brutal space jihad. Villeneuve has emphasized his “personal responsibility to finish the story,” which has fueled his interest in this sequel. It is already anticipated that *Dune: Messiah* will be very different from its predecessors, as the book it is based on does not conform to the standards of a conventional blockbuster and presents a very different Paul Atreides.
A new famous face for the largest current science fiction franchise
Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya return to reprise their roles as Paul and Chani, respectively, and the addition of Anya Taylor-Joy to the cast promises to bring freshness to the project. However, the production will also bring significant changes; Linus Sandgren will replace Greig Fraser as director of photography while Hans Zimmer will continue his collaboration as the composer of the soundtrack.
As fans await more details about this ambitious project, they can immerse themselves in the universe of Dune by enjoying the first two parts, which are already available on Max. The anticipation for what is to come is palpable, and Villeneuve is ready to tackle this new cinematic challenge with a unique and ambitious vision.
