Agatha: Darkhold Diaries', has unveiled its first glimpse, offering viewers a sneak peek into the magical realm of Agatha Harkness, portrayed by Kathryn Hahn. While not officially designated as Season 2, this series marks Marvel's return to Disney+ after the groundbreaking success of «WandaVision,» delving once again into the enchanting universe of witches and Westview.

Since 2008’s “Iron Man,” the Marvel machine has been one of the most unstoppable forces in box-office history. Now, though, that aura of invincibility is showing signs of wear and tear. The superhero factory hit a new low with the weekend launch of “The Marvels,” which opened with just $47 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. The 33rd installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a sequel to the 2019 Brie Larson-led «Captain Marvel», managed less than a third of the $153.4 million its predecessor launched with before ultimately taking in $1.13 billion worldwide. The previous low for a Walt Disney Co.-owned Marvel movie was «Ant-Man», which bowed with $57.2 million in 2015. Otherwise, you have to go outside the Disney MCU to find such a slow start for a Marvel movie — releases like Universal's “The Incredible Hulk” with $55.4 million in 2008, Sony’s “Morbius” with $39 million in 2022 or 20th Century Fox’s «Fantastic Four» reboot with $25.6 million in 2015.

Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea — as revenues remain a relative straggler to data usage. Case in point: While the just-ended cricket World Cup may have boosted mobile data usage by over 4% sequentially in the December quarter for the top three telcos, that will translate only into relatively modest sequential revenue growth — at best 1% — since consumers invariably have large chunks of unused data, precluding mass upgrades to higher value plans. Furthermore, some digital viewing of World Cup action on smartphones was via WiFi and not mobile data. But the saving grace this quarter is likely to be the festive season and the slew of assembly elections in multiple states (Rajasthan, Chattisgarh, MP and Mizoram), coupled with 5G user additions by Jio and Airtel and extra days during the October-December period. This, analysts, estimate could potentially boost overall data usage levels by almost 7-8% sequentially, which, in turn, could drive around 3-3.5% sequential growth in sectoral India mobile revenues during the current quarter. «The World Cup factor will have pushed up data usage levels north of 4% sequentially in Q3FY24 for the top 3 telcos, but it's likely to at best trigger only around 1% revenue upside on-quarter for them as data packs, typically, tend to be under-utilised, which limits possibility of consumers upgrading to higher value packs,» Prashant Singhal, Emerging Markets, Technology, Media & Telecom leader, EY India, told ET. The top 3 telcos collectively reported 3% and 2.4% sequential growth in India mobile revenues in Q1FY24 and Q2FY24 respectively as per company data.
