Killers of the Flower Moon, a cinematic masterpiece helmed by renowned director Martin Scorsese and produced by Apple, Paramount, and Imperative Entertainment, has stormed the global box office, shattering the $100 million mark. As it strides into its third week, this epic western crime saga stands at $102.1 million in worldwide earnings. It includes an impressive $45.3 million from the domestic market and an additional $56.8 million from international theaters. The star-studded cast, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Lily Gladstone, captivated audiences when it premiered at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, followed by a global theatrical rollout in late October.

This accomplishment occurred during a time when the cast couldn't engage in traditional promotional activities due to an ongoing actors' strike.

North Korea is poised to close as many as a dozen embassies including in Spain, Hong Kong, and multiple countries in Africa, according to media reports and analysts, in a move that could see nearly 25 percent of Pyongyang's missions close worldwide. North Korea's recent closing of its diplomatic missions was a sign that the reclusive country is struggling to make money overseas because of international sanctions, South Korea's unification ministry said on Tuesday. On Monday, North Korean state media outlet KCNA said the country's ambassadors paid «farewell» visits to Angolan and Ugandan leaders last week, and local media in both African countries reported the shutdown of the North's embassies there. Both Angola and Uganda have forged friendly ties with North Korea since the 1970s, maintaining military cooperation and providing rare sources of foreign currency such as statue-building projects.
