Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home. They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️

The book rights to The Hunger Games sold for $200,000 in 2009. The franchise has made $3.3 billion at the box office since. When that deal closed, Lionsgate hadn’t turned a profit in five years. The studio was bleeding money, fighting off a hostile takeover from billionaire Carl Icahn (who owned a third of the company), and getting battered on Wall Street. To fund the first film, they raided the budgets of other productions and sold off assets just to pull together $88 million. Suzanne Collins’ agent later said “they had everyone but the valet call us” to lock down the deal. Fewer than 500,000 copies of the book had even sold at that point. Seven months before the movie opened, Icahn gave up. Sold his entire stake for $7 a share, about $309 million, roughly what he’d originally paid. He walked away at break-even after years of trying to take over the company. Then the movie came out. $152 million opening weekend on an $88 million budget. The first film pulled in $695 million worldwide. Catching Fire followed with $865 million, the biggest movie in Lionsgate’s history. By the end of 2012, the studio crossed $1 billion at the U.S. box office in a single year for the first time ever. I keep coming back to the stock chart. $5.69 a share in 2011. $34 by late 2014. $41 by October 2015. At that peak, Hasbro reportedly offered around $9 billion to buy the whole company. Lionsgate turned them down. Icahn had cashed out four years earlier at $7. That gap between $7 and $41 is one of the worst-timed exits in Hollywood history. A $200,000 book deal. Five films. $3.3 billion in total box office. A company that went from the edge of extinction to rejecting a $9 billion buyout offer. And the franchise still isn’t done. The sixth film, Sunrise on the Reaping, opens this November with a $150 million budget, Ralph Fiennes, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, and Jennifer Lawrence coming back. The original book rights cost less than a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan.

Pixar's Inside Out 2 earned more at the US box office ($652 million) than Elio, Lightyear, Onward, and Elemental made domestically, combined. That one number explains why Coco 2 is coming. And Toy Story 5 this June. And Incredibles 3 in 2028. And Monsters Inc 3 is in early development. Four sequels in the pipeline. The studio that built its reputation on original stories is now running a franchise factory. Let's look at the numbers. Inside Out 2 cleared $1.7 billion worldwide. The year before, Pixar's original film Elemental barely managed $496 million after the worst opening in studio history at the time. Then Elio broke that record in 2025 with an even worse debut of $21 million, finishing at $154 million on a budget north of $150 million. The whole industry looks like this now. In 2024, every single film on the top 10 highest-grossing list was a sequel, the first time that's happened in at least 50 years of tracked box-office data. Only two original films cracked the top 20 worldwide. In 1993, all ten of the top-grossing films were originals. Jurassic Park, Mrs. Doubtfire, Schindler's List. Pixar also has a cost problem, their competitors don't. Their films run $150 to $200 million each. DreamWorks and Illumination (the studios behind Shrek and Despicable Me) make animated movies for under $80 million. When The Wild Robot costs half what Pixar spends and still puts up solid numbers, a $200 million original that opens to $21 million is a crisis. Hoppers, released two weeks ago, opened to $88 million globally, the best original Pixar opening since Coco in 2017. But that nine-year gap between original hits tells the story on its own. Pixar's creative chief Pete Docter said recently that if the studio is "going to just crank crap out, let's shut the doors." They are still making originals (Gatto in 2027, plus two more in development). But the sequels are now the financial engine that funds everything else. Coco 2 is coming because the original made $814 million. Toy Story 5 because the franchise has passed $3 billion in lifetime grosses. Incredibles 3 because Incredibles 2 made $1.2 billion. The last time Pixar went this long without making a sequel to a specific property was the gap between Toy Story in 1995 and Toy Story 2 in 1999, when the studio only had one franchise to revisit. Now they have a dozen, and the box office is telling them to use every single one.
