Iconic sled from ‘Citizen Kane,' whip from ‘Indiana Jones' and hat from ‘Home Alone' hit auction block
Rosebud's sliding onto the auction block. The childhood sled that prompted the most iconic word uttered in the legendary film 'Citizen Kane' goes up for auction next month — along with more cherished movie set props. The Tinseltown treasures include Kevin McCallister's knit cap from 'Home Alone,' a lightsaber brandished in 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith' and a whip wielded in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,' according to Heritage Auctions. 'These aren't just props. They're mythic objects,' said Joe Maddalena, the firm's vice president. 'They tell the story of Hollywood's greatest moments, one piece at a time.' 4 Iconic movie props from 'Citizen Kane,' 'Home Alone' and 'Indiana Jones' will hit the auction block next month. AP The groovy blue velvet suit worn by Mike Myers' Austin Powers in the 2002 screwball comedy sequel 'Goldmember' is also among the haul, which hits the auction block July 15-19. It also includes Luke Skywalker's X-Wing from 'Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back' and original art for 'Apocalypse Now.' But the biggest score for some movie buffs may be the sled featured in 'Citizen Kane,' which is widely considered the greatest movie of all time. 4 The knit cap worn by Macaulay Culkin's character Kevin McCallister in 'Home Alone' is for sale. In Orson Welles' groundbreaking 1941 film, media mogul Charles Foster Kane mysteriously utters the word 'Rosebud' on his deathbed, setting off the story's central question. 4 The sled, named Rosebud, from 'Citizen Kane' is for sale. Courtesy Everett Collection 4 The whip brandished by Harrison Ford in 'Indiana Jones' will go up for auction. ©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection Viewers later learn 'Rosebud' is the name of his beloved childhood sled — and a symbol of the powerful character's lost innocence. The long-lost sled that's up for auction is one of three of the props known to have survived, the auction firm said. It's currently owned by 'Gremlins' director Joe Dante, who found it while filming on the former RKO Pictures lot in 1984. The sled's estimated value wasn't immediately clear — but one of the three props was sold to director Steven Spielberg for $60,500 at a Sotheby's auction in 1982, The New York Times reported that year. Meanwhile, the whip — cracked by Harrison Ford playing the titular character in 'Indiana Jones' — was given to Prince Charles by the actor at the 1989 premiere of 'The Last Crusade' in the UK. Also for sale is the retro Citroën 2CV car driven by Roger Moore playing James Bond in 'For Your Eyes Only,' along with artifacts from the collection of famed director Cecil B. DeMille.

‘Andor' star Genevieve O'Reilly on her unlikely two-decade Mon Mothma journey: ‘I've closed the circle on her'
Andor actress Genevieve O'Reilly's Star Wars journey has been longer and more circuitous than most actors in the franchise, but what a payoff she received. The ethereal Rebel leader Mon Mothma was originally portrayed by actress Caroline Blakiston in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Though her appearance lasted less than 30 seconds, the character quickly became an iconic part of Star Wars lore. O'Reilly later stepped into the role in her 20s for Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith — a brief appearance as well, but one that laid the groundwork for her deeper involvement in the franchise later on. More from GoldDerby Tramell Tillman could make Emmy history as the first Black Best Drama Supporting Actor winner Kristen Kish dishes on Season 22 of 'Top Chef,' Emmys, and the show's global impact: 'It's all driven by the fans' Patricia Arquette's 'Severance' character talks like that because 'she thinks that's what power sounds like' Much to her surprise, O'Reilly returned to the franchise as Mon Mothma just over a decade later in a slightly more fleshed-out role for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, accompanied by turns voicing the character for the animated series Star Wars Rebels. But those brief stints were just the amuse bouche for the gourmet feast that awaited the actress as Mon Mothma moved to the head of the table for Andor. The Chandrilan senator was given a sweeping backstory loaded with all the gravitas, sacrifice and subterfuge one could expect of an emerging Rebel hero; meanwhile O'Reilly was given her own epic opus as an actress. Attending an FYC event for the Disney+ series at the Writers Guild of America Theater in Beverly Hills, O'Reilly joined Gold Derby to reflect on her wildly unexpected two-decade tour of duty in the Rebellion (which has also continued forward in Ahsoka), including the challenging moments that tested her commitment as much as her character's. Lucasfilm/Disney Gold Derby: Is it too soon to lobby for a Mon Mothma series? From the end of this show to the end of , there's a lot of potential story still in there for her. Genevieve O'Reilly: I bet! Would you be excited if the right call came to pick this character up yet again? I mean, do you know what? It's been such a gift of a surprise for me to come back — and back — and Andor has been revelatory for me in regard to this woman. So, always! If we could go further, I don't know if that's possible because of what Andor has achieved, it's just extraordinary. But yes. You've participated in a lot of different projects. What did that mean to you to of be a part of what may be a whole new direction for a certain type of film or series? I can only speak from my perspective to the writing, to Tony [Gilroy] and all those writers and what they achieved, in regard to a depth of character, the depth of interaction. And I think something that Season 2 really achieved was by jumping that year every three episodes it allowed for a real specificity of character, a real specificity of this moment and who this is, which allowed for kind of big swings — swings of character. So that was really interesting to me, that you didn't have to carry the audience with you from one moment to the next. You could drop in and just reveal something quite different. Did you have any unanswered questions about Mon Mothma at the end of this, or are you pretty satisfied with what you do understand about her? I remember something when I started this so long ago, that there was something in Caroline Blakiston's performance [in Return of the Jedi] that I was really curious about, and what that pain was at the center of her. And I was always seeking that. And I feel like at the end of Andor I've kind of closed the circle on her. I understand her pain. I understand that personal trauma and that personal relationship to sacrifice the Rebellion much more. Tell me about when you got that very first call to pick up this character all those years ago, what your reaction was then? And now, when you're become truly the custodian of that character after all this time and really been the one who got to play the things that deepened her and filled out her mythology. Can you compare and contrast those moments? There're three big moments for me, actually. The first one was just getting that role when I was a very young actor and just being wide-eyed and just it was so extraordinary to step onto those sets and be a tiny part of that. The real interesting moment for me was when they called me to ask me to do Rogue One, because that was 10 years later. So much had happened in that time. They didn't have to ring. They didn't have to ask me, do you know what I mean? They kind of could have reached out to anyone at that point and that felt special. So I thought, 'OK, maybe I have something to offer here.' And then when Tony rang in regard to Andor, I mean he's such an extraordinary writer. He had such a vision for the piece and he really wanted to allow space for her to have a proper story, to have story time, narrative time, rather than just be an expositional force, which she was previously. What was the most challenging but perhaps the most gratifying day of work on for you? Yeah, that was the speech. Mon's speech. It took a day and it was extraordinary and that was so important to me. It was so important to me. I felt it was the fulcrum of who she is, really the center. I thought that everything else makes sense if she can land that, it was a real gift that he gave to me and trusted me with and, yeah, I brought everything I could to it. And I'm sure, too, the dance. The dance is her transition — now she's . There's blood in her hands at that point. And being able to release her physically was just everything, because it is a lens into character. And we'd never seen her move, we'd never really seen her outside of that calm that she has. So to be able to expose that trauma, that chaos, physically was so wonderful. Yeah, revelatory, I hope, for the audience, and also for me as an actor.

May the 4th be with you: The best Star Wars Day 2025 deals and new products
My favorite unofficial holiday is almost here! May the 4th, also known as Star Wars Day, is a celebration of all things from a galaxy far, far away. As an editor who has been fawning over Star Wars for nearly her entire life, I am so excited to be rounding up all the best deals and new product launches, many of which I will be shopping myself. This year's Star Wars Day is extra special because it coincides with the 20th anniversary of 2005's 'Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.' It's my favorite flick from the franchise, so these deals may be a bit biased to include some Episode III offerings. But even if you prefer the Original Trilogy, one thing you can count on is that these are the best May the 4th deals to shop this year. Ahead of May 4, many of the deals and new launches are already live. There's sure to be more this weekend, but you can get a head start now. I'll update this story for the next several days, so keep checking back for the latest offers. Take it from one Star Wars fan to another and dive in, below. Retailers including Amazon, Lego, Target and Walmart are getting in on the Star Wars Day action. If you're looking for all the different sales in one place, these are the best. Before I dive into different categories, this is the perfect starting point to save or check out what's new for 2025. Amazon Star Wars Day Sale Save on everything from DVDs to electronic lightsabers and so much more. Amazon also has many of the new product launches for May the 4th on its digital shelves.

Many of the new product launches for May the 4th can also be found at Walmart. Each time I get on a video call with a new coworker, we always spend the first half hour talking about every little collectible stationed on the massive shelf behind me, especially the majority that are Lego Star Wars kits. Luckily, the biggest sale of the year on Lego kits from the Star Wars universe is live for May the 4th. Below, you'll find deals on many of the sets I own. Lego dealsLego Buildable R2-D2 Astromech Droid Set R2-D2 may just be the most recognizable robot in all of sci-fi. Build your own version of the astromech droid at its second-best price yet.

This scaled-down starfighter is the perfect build to rest on your desk for showing off some Star Wars fandom.

It's one of my favorite ships in the Star Wars universe and makes for a great Lego build.

Lego 'A New Hope' Boarding The Tantive IV Speaking of the Tantive IV, this diorama-style kit stacks up to recreate the tense scene that introduced the world to Darth Vader. Lego Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor Set I recently picked this set up when it first hit store shelves in January. While I have many of the kits in this guide, there's a special place in my heart (and my collection) for these Jedi Interceptors inspired by "Revenge of the Sith."

So, I had to include its new Star Wars backpack.

‘Sinners' Wins Weekend Box Office In Stunning 10% Drop And $45 Million
It's another expectation-shattering performance for writer-director Ryan Coogler's Sinners, as the film dominates the domestic weekend box office with a stunning 10% drop from last weekend and nearly $45 million in receipts. Michael B. Jordan stars in "Sinners." Source: Warner Michael B. Jordan does double-duty in lead roles as twin brothers in Coogler's original horror-action blockbuster. Can we call Sinners a blockbuster yet? We sure can, with these types of overperformances and record-breaking holds, it should land around $170 million worldwide – with an impressive $120+ million domestic – if not higher by close of business Sunday, and I'm probably being conservative in these estimates at this point. I won't be shocked at all if the film beats even today's impressive estimates both domestically and internationally. It is entirely possible at this point that we could see a final cume of around $180 million when the dust settles. Alternately, if Sinners' must-see foot traffic is front-loaded, it might wind up settling closer to $165-170 million range. We need to see how much the positive word-of-mouth and reviews, combined with news of box office overperformance, drives international viewership this weekend. Meanwhile, runner-up The Accountant 2 is enjoying $25 million at the higher end of estimates and tops the original film's debut, in a tale of sinners turned saints who use their extraordinary brotherly killing abilities for good. Bad-a__ brothers facing overwhelming odds in an original action-driven moderately-budgeted story? Yes please, say audiences remembering why they love going to the movies. Yet despite Sinners taking such a huge lead for the weekend, and The Accountant 2 offering up a high-end outcome, the other weekend top contenders didn't suffer as a result after all. The Minecraft Movie is still on course for north of $20 million, while Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith appears poised to take third place with $22 million. The return of Star Wars to the big screen, just as Andor season 2 arrives on Disney+ with historic critical acclaim and amid a 'rising tide lifts all boats' situation in theaters proves to be a nice bonus for Disney, ahead of their summer tentpoles and in the aftermath of Captain America: Brave New World's disappointing $414 million result. Sinners seems to have stirred so much audience interest and passion at just the right time, when Minecraft was generating buzz and turnout typical of a summer IP release and warming weather. School vacations and a dearth of much else to be enthusiastic about in the world lately – economics, politics, climate, you name it and we've got it turned up to 11 these days – makes the escapism of cinema much more appealing. That the multiplexes are also seeing less inflationary pressure on ticket prices compared to other entertainment options makes theaters the relatively less expensive go-to option these days, especially with streaming costs themselves rising and driving home entertainment costs high enough that cinemas are no longer being out-priced. But none of that matters without Sinners being an exceptional film that delivers powerfully on the promise of its premise, with a terrific cast led by Jordan's star power and Coogler's directorial fame. The deeper themes about race and history and culture, as well as the sheer terror and excitement, all feed audiences craving to confront our demons and fears, but in a safe imaginary setting – all the more important when those fears increasingly stalk the daytime for so many people. What's happening isn't merely a convenient convergence of external factors and motivators, but specifically that art is calling out to the public the way it always does during important moments in history and during shared times of struggle and uncertainty and change. Sinners is the movie we needed, when we needed it. That's what happened. It spoke to something important and powerful within people everywhere, and that message is spreading so much that people are flocking to see it. So I think the combination of Sinners and The Minecraft Movie has helped buoy cinema higher and is driving traffic to other films as well. Which isn't just good news for the close of spring at the multiplexes, but great news heading into summer. 2025 was destined to be a weak year at the box office, and a lot of major projects were pulled from the release schedule or shuffled to safer calendar dates. But now, with a nice bit of positive momentum heading into the opening salvo of summer from Marvel with Thunderbolts*, and with some heavy-hitters waiting to take flight in coming weeks and months, spring's Sinner sanctuary could also wind up helping summer's salvation. Sinners and the rest of this weekend's top performers will soon face tough competition when Thunderbolts* arrives next weekend to kick off the summer movie season. But if this weekend is any indication, we should expect Thunderbolts* to play at the better end of expectations while Sinners and The Accountant hold strong, Minecraft enjoys a soft fall, and attendance helps turn the first week of summer 2025 into a healthy one for the box office. Studios could all use that sort of good news, and good omens for the rest of summer movie season. Fingers crossed!
