The Godzilla-King Kong combo stomped on expectations as “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” roared to an $80 million opening at the weekend box office. Studio estimates Sunday showed that the monster mash-up from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures brought the second-highest opening in what has been a robust year. It fell just short of the the $81.5 million debut of “Dune: Part 2.” Projections for “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” put its opening weekend at closer to $50 million.

Hollywood actors union board approves strike-ending deal as leaders tout money gains and AI rights

Board members from Hollywood鈥檚 actors union voted Friday to approve the deal with studios that ended their strike after nearly four months.

The strike by Hollywood screenwriters is over. Leaders of the writers union declared their nearly five-month-old strike over Tuesday after board members approved a contract agreement with studios. The governing boards of the eastern and western branches of the Writers Guild of America both voted to accept the deal, and afterward declared that the strike would be over and writers would be free to work starting at 12:01 a.m. Wednesday. The vote came after numerous writers joined striking actors on picket lines. The writers deal brought renewed optimism to the pickets. There are currently no negotiations set between the actors and the alliance of studios, streaming services and producers.

The writers strike is over. Actors are still walking picket lines, but Wednesday is the first day in nearly five months that screenwriters can return to their jobs. So when will your favorite shows return? Well, it's complicated. Late-night talk shows — and talk shows in general — are the first productions to come back. Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert will be back Monday night with new episodes. The actors strike will complicate the return of filming on shows such as “Stranger Things” and movies like the “Deadpool” sequel. But some scripted writing rooms, like for the ABC hit “Abbott Elementary,” can now get back to work.

Screenwriters are waiting to learn what their five-month strike won and preparing for a possible return to work after their union reached an agreement with studio executives. The deal could help end the walkouts that brought Hollywood to a standstill. The historic shutdown will go on for now. Actors are still on strike with no talks planned. But the tentative writers deal announced Sunday night may provide momentum that could lead to a resolution for them too. That would allow full production to resume for the first time since May. The next step is for the governing boards of the Writers Guild of America to vote on the contract, which will happen Tuesday.
