Get ready for autumn’s chilling festivities! As of July 23rd, that is, Tuesday, there are merely 100 days left before Halloween arrives. For those who can’t get enough of the eerie holiday, Mars Candy has got you covered with an early sneak peek into their spooktacular confectionery offerings for this year. Additionally, Mars has unveiled their latest “Mars Halloween Insights” report, filled with intriguing insights into how people celebrate and what’s trending during this beloved season.

Marvel Rivals’ Closed Beta Test servers have been launched, and the anticipation for this free-to-play hero shooter was already high due to its successful earlier testing phase and extensive sign-ups for the beta. The initial day of testing not only confirmed the game’s popularity but also amplified the excitement with an exceptional first-day performance. According to Steam Chats, a remarkable number of 52,515 players joined the closed beta at its peak during this writing, while approximately 30,000 – 35,000 players remained actively engaged.

I’m absolutely thrilled by Marvel’s dominance of our top 10 list this week! As a dedicated fan, I can’t help but be swept up in the excitement surrounding Deadpool and Wolverine’s releases. The films have single-handedly ignited a renewed interest in six out of the ten books on our list. One of these titles is generating massive buzz due to an explosive character reveal in the latest trailer!

At first glance, the movie “Twisters” seems like a mere title follow-up to the 1996 film “Twister.” However, upon closer examination, it diverges significantly from its predecessor. Unlike typical legacy sequels, “Twisters” doesn’t rely on bringing back old characters or introducing their offspring. Instead, it tells new stories unrelated to the original tales. This unique approach sets “Twisters” apart by not forcing nostalgia through repetition of past events. Nonetheless, there are unexpected similarities between the two films that might go unnoticed at first.

I’ve noticed that Concord didn’t manage to draw in a large number of players during its recent beta. On the other hand, Marvel Rivals, another upcoming hero shooter, appears to be experiencing more success in attracting players.

Ike Perlmutter, a former Marvel executive and once a significant Disney shareholder, has offloaded all of his Disney stocks. Based on a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, Perlmutter disposed of approximately 25.6 million shares, raking in nearly $3 billion. This decision was made following our unsuccessful attempt to claim two seats on Disney’s board of directors during a proxy fight, alongside activist Nelson Peltz. According to the report, Perlmutter sold his Disney stocks between April and mid-July, while Peltz reportedly did so at the end of May, earning around $1 billion from the sale.
