Coldplay have spent the last two decades trying to nail a James Bond theme. Chris Martin has told "NME" that the band is sitting on five unreleased Bond movie themes that he admits weren't "very good." Despite working so hard on theme songs for five movies, Chris says they never ended up sending them. He doesn't even think Daniel Craig would like the tunes. "I don't know if we're spiritually on the same trip as James. As much as I like the films, I don't know if us singing would do it for him," he notes. "He'd be like, 'That's not what I'm into at all, fellas. I like guns and s---. All this hippie stuff just isn't going to work.'"
"Halloween Kills" scared its way to the top at the domestic box office this weekend. According to "Variety," the horror flick starring Jamie Lee Curtis made $50-point-four-million for its debut. That's the highest-grossing opening weekend for a movie with a same-day streaming service premiere – Peacock, in this case. That means "Halloween Kills" beats the record previously set by "Godzilla vs Kong," which had made $31-point-six-million despite also premiering on HBO Max. "The Last Duel" was a flop. The theater-exclusive debut and all-star cast didn't do much for the film starring Adam Driver, Jodie Comber, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck… debuting in fifth place with $4-point-eight-million. As for the rest of the list, "No Time To Die" dropped 56-percent in earnings for its second weekend out, making another $24-point-three-million. The top five is rounded out by "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" in the third spot, and "The Addams Family 2" in fourth.

She made the announcement official herself with an image of her being embraced on the beach by Barker… at sunset… surrounded by thousands of roses and candlelight. Her caption? One word: "Forever."
