Borderlands, directed by Eli Roth and starring Cate Blanchett, made its digital debut on August 30, 2024. This comes just three weeks after its theatrical release. The movie, which features an ensemble cast including Kevin Hart, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jack Black as the voice of Claptrap, has faced mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike. The movie's plot revolves around Blanchett’s character, an outlaw who assembles a team of misfits to find the missing daughter of a powerful universe figure, portrayed by Ariana Greenblatt and Edgar Ramirez respectively.

In an unprecedented move against a major tech CEO, prosecutors argued Durov bears responsibility for the alleged illegality on his platform, placing him under formal investigation on organized crime charges. He is suspected of complicity in running an online platform that allows the posting of child sex abuse images, drug trafficking and fraud.

Shyamalan in 2024, has now made its way to streaming platforms, following a mixed reception in theaters. Produced by her father, the renowned filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, The Watchers marks Ishana's directorial debut. The film, based on A.M. Shine's novel, stars Dakota Fanning as Mina, a 28-year-old artist who is trapped in a forest in Ireland alongside three strangers and faces mysterious nocturnal creatures. Premiering in theaters on June 7, The Watchers garnered $33 million against its $30 million budget, a modest figure that reflects the film's lukewarm reception, as mentioned in a report by Screenrant. Unlike M. Night Shyamalan's other 2024 release, Trap, which performed more robustly at the box office, The Watchers did not capture a broad audience, leading to its quick transition to streaming. As the film begins to find a new audience online, its impact on Ishana Night Shyamalan's budding career remains to be seen.

INS Arighaat can also deploy K-4 missiles with a range exceeding 3,000 km, unlike INS Arihant, which is equipped with 750-km range K-15 missiles.
