What's trending

Aerosmith has confirmed suspicions of a farewell tour, announcing Peace Out — a 40-city North American trek celebrating their career. The tour starts September 2nd in Philadelphia, makes a New Year's Eve stop in the band's hometown of Boston, and ends in Montreal on January 26th. Aerosmith made the announcement in a video with folks like Ringo Starr, Terry Crews, Eminem, Kelly Clarkson, Slash, and Bill Burr. Check it out here. Below are a few of the other Aerosmith tour stops: Sept. 21 – Cleveland, Ohio @ Rocket FieldHouse, Jan. 4, 2024 – Cincinnati, Ohio. @ Heritage Arena, Jan. 23, 2024 – Columbus, Ohio @ Schottenstein Center.

When it comes to what the critics have to say, movie-going audiences clearly don’t care. Although reviews were split about 50/50 on “Super Mario Bros.,” audiences worldwide have voted with their wallets. The film broke the $1 billion mark internationally, making it the 10th biggest animated film globally. It’s also the first film release of 2023 to cross that threshold.
