Cinemas from Philly to New York State and Boston (Coolidge Corner Theatre, you were missed) shuttered all or part of Sat., rattling but not routing the specialty box office. And a shout-out to theaters in NYC proper where all stayed open – sparse by day but picking up in the evening thanks to “younger people not afraid to trudge in the show,” said one distributor.

Easy On Me singer Adele's relationship with American sports agent Rich Paul is reportedly the reason “she can’t perform” and has cancelled gigs. The Grammy award-winner, 33, announced earlier this month that she's had no choice but to reschedule all 24 of her Las Vegas shows less than 24 hours before they were due to kick off. She put the delay down to Covid telling her 48.7million followers on Instagram: "Hiya, listen, I'm so sorry but my show ain't ready," as she started the video.

Editors note: When we think of Robert De Niro and Italy, it’s easiest to focus on the Sicilian town of Corleone, because of his Oscar-winning turn in The Godfather: Part II. But De Niro wanted to focus on Naples, which director Paolo Sorrentino brought to life in The Hand of God. De Niro was so moved, he wrote a guest column for Deadline on why the film touched him so dearly.

Todd Spangler NY Digital EditorSerial Productions, the company behind the true-crime show that helped trigger the podcast boom, is coming out with a new limited-series looking into a panic in Britain over an alleged Islamic plan to infiltrate the country’s schools — which may have all been a hoax.“The Trojan Horse Affair” is hosted by Brian Reed, known for his hit series “S-Town.” Reed teamed with Hamza Syed, a doctor-turned-reporter, to investigate what was dubbed Operation Trojan Horse.

Garrett Hedlund was reportedly arrested for public intoxication in Tennessee on Saturday amid reports that his relationship with Emma Roberts has ended.  The "Country Strong" star may be in some serious legal trouble given that this current arrest happened while he was still on probation stemming from another incident that occurred in 2020. TMZ reports that Hedlund was nabbed for public intoxication on Saturday night in Franklin County.  However, the outlet reports that he has since been released on $2,100 bond and is due back in court in March to answer for the incident. No details were available regarding the circumstances that led up to the "Friday Night Lights" actor’s arrest.  Garrett Hedlund and Emma Roberts  reportedly broke up.

where has this been all my life?Did you know that Tony Scott and Denzel Washington made a time-travel thriller (complete with a car chase occurring in two different timelines) almost a decade-and-a-half before Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet,” which starred Washington’s son John David? Well, it’s true! Co-written by “Pirates of the Caribbean” scribe Terry Rossio, “Déjà Vu” concerns the aftermath of a terrorist bombing in New Orleans (this was one of the first big post-Katrina productions in the city) with Washington’s ATF agent being sucked into an experimental government time travel project; initially it’s just surveillance but, of course, Denzel zaps himself to the past to try and prevent the tragedy. Most of the cast, including Adam Goldberg and Val Kilmer as the nerds behind the project, is operating at an 11 (perhaps in an effort to compete with Scott’s gonzo visual aesthetic), with Paula Patton adding some nice emotional nuance as a victim that could be key to the terrorist (Jim Caviezel).

In custody. One day after Garrett Hedlund’s breakup from Emma Roberts made headlines, he has been arrested for public intoxication.
