Additionally, «The Exorcist: Believer» made its international debut with $17.8 million, resulting in a global launch of $45.1 million. Given its $30 million production cost, the 'Exorcist' sequel is in a promising position for its theatrical run. The horror film directed by David Gordon Green is set to hit theaters exactly 50 years after the release of the original «Exorcist,» a cinematic landmark that grossed nearly $450 million at the global box office (before adjusting for inflation). Directed by William Friedkin, the original film was adapted from the novel by William Peter Blatty and featured stars like Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn.

Running time: 111 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Middle East for a new era. But the old Middle East, it turns out, still has something to say about it. The stunning Hamas assault on Israel on Saturday served as a gut-wrenching reminder that the decades-old conflict with Palestinians remains a cancer that has not gone away even as leaders in Washington, Jerusalem, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and other Arab capitals would prefer to focus on building a revamped region. U.S. officials said it was too early to say whether the attack was explicitly motivated by a desire by Hamas or its patron Iran to disrupt President Joe Biden's effort to broker a landmark deal between Israel and Saudi Arabia that would profoundly reorient the Middle East. But they acknowledged that it could complicate the already delicate negotiations and make it that much harder to reach an agreement akin to the Abraham Accords between Israel and smaller Arab nations.
