🔥 The Hot Corner

🍿 Stat of the Day: Add family friendly movies next to low-rise jeans on the list of things making a resurgence in 2024. PG-rated films have made up ~33% of ticket sales at the domestic box office this year, the highest percentage since 1995, according to Axios. But while the box office is losing its edge, it’s not losing its edge – the recent record five-day Thanksgiving weekend was powered by PG-rated films Moana 2 ($221 million) and Wicked ($118 million), while the animated Inside Out 2 set multiple records in its $155 million domestic debut earlier this year. The only R-rated film to reach the top 10 in domestic ticket sales so far this year has been Disney's Deadpool & Wolverine.

🤔 Did You Know? In the early 1900s, Danes living under Prussian rule were outlawed from displaying the red-and-white Danish flag – so a group of separatist farmers secretly bred pigs to display a similar color pattern as the banned flag, called the “Danish Protest Pigs.”
