Over the course of the first season of “Single Drunk Female,” success comes in wildly different forms. Whether it’s the incremental steps that multiple characters take toward maintaining sobriety or learning how to say sorry, it’s sometimes hard for Sam (Sofia Black-D’Elia) to gauge how much she should actually celebrate.

(And no, we never thought we’d be writing those words.)

Beyond “Terrifier 2” — which just held onto a domestic top 10-box office spot in its fifth weekend — last Saturday’s live stream of the “2022 League of Legends World Championship” made $405,000 from just over 400 locations. A recent live stream of two Coldplay concerts in Buenos Aires made over $1 million, just missing the top 10 for its weekend. Fathom’s ongoing showings of the MET Opera and its recent Studio Ghibli Fest continue to perform, in some cases better than pre-pandemic levels....

“Your first thought is, ‘Oh my God, I’m absolutely terrible,’” Robert Pattinson confessed to Moviemaker Magazine after first watching back his “Batman” scenes. Reeves, he said, had asked him for a lot of takes, and he was also challenged by one particular element of the costume design. “There’s a whole different language, body language, you have to learn to make it do what you want it to do,” Pattinson continued. “If you look too much into the light, [the mask] looks completely ridiculous, and you’re wearing a Halloween costume....
