‘How to Train Your Dragon' Stays No. 1 as ‘Elio' Earns Pixar's Lowest Box Office Opening

Universal/DreamWorks' 'How to Train Your Dragon' will hold on to the No. 1 spot at the box office with a $35 million second weekend, topping the estimated $30 million opening of Sony's '28 Years Later' and the studio-worst $20 million start of Disney/Pixar's 'Elio.' The 'How to Train Your Dragon' remake is dropping 58% from its opening weekend for a 10-day domestic total of $159 million. It needs to pass $217 million to become the top domestic grossing film in the 'HTTYD' franchise before inflation adjustment. With families flocking to the familiar face of the dragon Toothless on the big screen, Pixar's 'Elio' is having a harder time drumming up interest as an original animated film with just $9 million earned on its opening day from 3,750 theaters. As a result, its $20 million estimated opening weekend has passed the $29.6 million opening of 'Elemental' for the lowest opening ever for a Pixar film. If this result holds, 'Elio' would have a lower opening weekend than the $22 million that last year's 'Inside Out 2' made in just its first Monday in U.S. theaters following its $154.2 million opening weekend. While Disney was hoping for an opening closer to what 'Elemental' earned, the poor start of that film followed by its lengthy box office run has prepared them and theaters for the possibility of a rebound for 'Elio.' And the good news is that like 'Elemental,' reception for 'Elio' has been very strong with an 85% Rotten Tomatoes score and an A from audiences on CinemaScore. For Disney, the hope now is that this strong audience buzz will reach the ears of audiences who either don't have 'Elio' on their movie radar or went to go see 'How to Train Your Dragon' first will come back around to see this original film based on its word-of-mouth, particularly during Fourth of July weekend. Things are looking better for '28 Years Later,' Sony/Columbia's legacyquel to Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's famed 2002 horror film '28 Days Later.' The $30-31 million start is consistent with pre-release box office tracking and puts it on pace for a decent theatrical run against its $60 million budget. The bigger question is whether this film will drum up enough sustained interest for Boyle and Garland to turn it into a trilogy. The second installment, '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple,' is set to come out this winter, but the third film has yet to be greenlit. While critics have praised the film with a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, its more cerebral nature and unexpected tonal shifts have left audiences mixed with a 66% RT audience score and a B on CinemaScore. Whether that causes its theatrical run to be more frontloaded remains to be seen.

Sorbet Nails Are Literally The Coolest Manicure Trend For 2025

All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission. I won't pretend sorbet nails are a brand-new trend. Let's be real — they look a lot like the pastel manicures that pop up every year at this time. But while they're not exactly groundbreaking, there's no denying that the biggest nail artists are obsessed with them right now. From Iram Shelton's shimmering strawberry manicure to Harriet Westmoreland's mint sorbet French tips, sorbet nails provide a cool pop of colour among the wave of neutral princess nails and milky manicures. For the sceptics amongst us, there is a subtle difference between this year's sorbet nails and more traditional pastels: 'Though they're in the same family of soft tones, sorbet shades are slightly more vibrant versions of pastel colours,' explains session manicurist Ami Streets. 'Inspired by their namesake edible summer treat, they're even brighter and juicier, often with a sheer or jelly-like finish that gives a gorgeously glossy and playful vibe.' Think of fruity hues inspired by your favourite ice cream flavours, such as banana, peach, strawberry, or pistachio, if you're unsure where to start. View this post on Instagram A post shared by faye louise dennis (@fayelouisedennis) How do you wear sorbet nails? Streets points out that sorbet shades lend themselves beautifully to nail art looks. 'Soft ombré gradients in sorbet colours are a dreamy nail look... effortlessly blending shades like pinks and peaches, for example, creates a sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,' says Streets. Additionally, for minimalists, French tips, half-moon manis, and simple, dainty dot designs are a great way to wear sorbet hues more subtly. Orange Jelly View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nail Bar Milwaukee (@nailbarmke) This dewy citrus manicure created by Nail Bar Milwaukee has a beautiful jelly-like texture, which gives it a really playful edge. Recreate it at home with Essie's Expressie Nail Polish Don't Hate, Curate, $20. Rhubarb & Custard View this post on Instagram A post shared by ✨🪩🇲🇽 𝓡𝓪𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓓𝓾𝓻𝓪𝓷 🇲🇽🪩✨ (@craftedbyaprince) Why pick just one colour when you can wear two? This strawberry milk and lemon sorbet fade created by nail artist Ramon Duran is utterly delicious. Strawberry Sorbet View this post on Instagram A post shared by Iram Shelton (@iramshelton) We're with this sheer and shimmery delight created by nail artist Iram Shelton, and will be rushing to recreate this combination of soft sparkling base and juicy pink ombré. Peach Cooler View this post on Instagram A post shared by Victoria | Nail Artist (@nailsxgoldenhour) Juicy and ultra-glossy, this peach manicure created by nail artist Victoria is to die for. OPI's Infinite Shine Nail Polish in Dreamsicle, $25, has the same sheer, watery feel, but with a touch of shimmer. Lemon Ice Streets pointed to pale yellow being one of the 'huge breakout sorbet hues', and this monochromatic look created by @kkdnails proves that it isn't going anywhere. Try Manucurist's Mimosa Nail Polish, $23, for a similar buttery lemon hue. Watermelon Shine View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zanë Jashari (@zanasnails) Aura nails lend themselves beautifully to sorbet hues, as nail artist Zanë Jashari proves with this delicate blush-colored design. Mint Tips View this post on Instagram A post shared by Harriet Westmoreland (@harrietwestmoreland) The simplest way to dabble in sorbet shades if you're a minimalist at heart is by switching the color of your French tips. This punchy mint look by Harriet Westmoreland is so fresh and chic. Try OPI's Infinite Shine In Mint Condition Nail Polish, $24.95 to get the look at home.

Machine Gun Kelly makes rare red-carpet appearance with daughter Casie: See the photos

Machine Gun Kelly may be an award-winning musician, but fatherhood remains the top gig. The Grammy-nominated rap-rocker (real name: Colson Baker) stepped out with his eldest daughter, Casie Baker, for a rare red-carpet appearance at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on June 21. Kelly shares Casie, 15, with his ex Emma Cannon. He "definitely gives a lot of advice. He's more like a hype man, though," Casie told People magazine in an interview ahead of the ceremony, to which Kelly replied, "Yeah, I'm a cheerleader." The teen added that her rockstar dad encourages her to be herself. For their Kids' Choice Awards appearance, Casie was dolled up in a strapless bubblegum pink dress, while Kelly kept things sleek in an all-black romper and matching boots. Machine Gun Kelly reveals baby's name, gives shout-out to ex-fiancée Megan Fox Kelly has been busy in the fatherhood department as of late. The "My Ex's Best Friend" singer welcomed a daughter, Saga Blade Fox-Baker, in March with ex-fianceé Megan Fox. "Megan is in the no sleep club, for sure," Kelly, 35, told People. "Women are in the rougher trenches of the newborn process, but my specialty is music and laughs and whatever I can do to make her smile and kind of get introduced to the world with love." Earlier this week, Kelly revealed the baby's name in a June 17 Instagram post, which included an adorable video of the singer serenading the infant with a ukulele. Casie gushed that becoming an older sister has been "fun," adding, "It's really just so cute. I love her so much." 10 bingeable memoirs to check out: Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé Saga marks Kelly and Fox's first child after calling off their January 2022 engagement. In a March 2024 interview on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, Fox declined to go into detail about their current relationship status. "I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption, so I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se," she said. "What I can say is: That is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him no matter what."
