‘Captain Marvel’ clobbers the competition to stay atop box office

IBP/net

Lupita Nyong’o plays both a mother named Adelaide, and Adelaide’s doppelganger in the film.

Lupita Nyong’o hails ‘refreshing’ portrayal of black families in new movie Us LOS ANGELES - Lupita Nyong’o, who stars in new movie Us, says it was “refreshing” to have a film that shows a black family in a way they are not usually represented on screen. In director Jordan Peele’s horror thriller, the Oscar-winning actress plays a woman whose family is confronted by a group of doppelgangers. She said it was “refreshing” to see a middle-class, black family on screen. “And how normal it is, is the remarkable thing,” she said. “I love it.” “I loved how unremarkable it was that they were black, because I often feel quite unremarkable, I don’t live my life always considering the colour of my skin and it was nice to have that - a family that we could project our own understanding of a family on to no matter what colour our skin is, and that the paradigms to which they were navigating this particular monster

had nothing to do with the colour of their skin. “Yeah, that’s refreshing.” The Kenyan-Mexican actress said she was shocked to learn that having a black family as the central family in the horror genre was also uncommon. “I was like, ‘wow, it’s about time’,” she said. Nyong’o plays both the mother, Adelaide, and Adelaide’s doppelganger. Winston Duke plays her husband Gabe. The actress said although she felt “very intimidated” by the double role, it was “an opportunity of a lifetime”. Discussing what the film had to say about society, she said: “It was this thing of recognising the monster in the man in the mirror, and there’s a duality in all of us, there’s a darkness that we often suppress and it is in suppressing that side of ourselves that it can become destructive, because we project it out of ourselves and onto other people and onto other things.” (net)

LOS ANGELES - Female-led superhero movie “Captain Marvel” took in an estimated $69.3 million over the weekend, outearning the combined North American totals of the next nine films, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday. The Disney/Marvel blockbuster had a huge opening last weekend -- the biggest ever for a female-fronted superhero flick -- and, with the foreign total of $494 million added in, “is now assured of ultimately earning $1 billion,” according to the Hollywood Reporter. The film, which stars Brie Larson as a former fighter pilot who gains superpowers and finds herself embroiled in a galactic conflict, has already passed the lifetime takes of superhero adventures including “Ant-Man and the Wasp” and “Iron Man 2,” according to Variety. Far back in second spot for this three-day weekend was a new animated production from Paramount, “Wonder Park,” at $16 million. The film, set in an amusement park based on the imaginings of a young girl (Brianna Denski, whose previous work included a Lysol commercial), has far to go to make up the nearly $100 million Paramount spent to make it. Jennifer Garner, Matthew Broderick, Mila Kunis and John Oliver also provide voices. In third was another new release, CBS and Lionsgate’s teen drama “Five Feet Apart,” at $13.2 million. It stars Haley Lu Richardson and Cole Sprouse as teens who fall in love while being treated for cystic fibrosis, a disease that requires them to keep a distance from each other. Universal’s “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” took in $9.3 million for fourth place. Voiced by Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett and F. Murray Abraham, it tells the story of young Hiccup and his dragon Toothless on their quest to find a dragon utopia. And in fifth was Lionsgate’s “A Madea Family Funeral” at $8.1 million. Actor/director Tyler Perry, who plays the irreverent title character, says it will be the last in the profitable Madea series. (afp)

Police had earlier launched a huge manhunt for Gokmen Tanis, 37, issuing a picture of the suspected gunman and warning the public not to approach him following the attack, in which five other people were wounded. Mosques and schools were closed across the Netherlands’ fourth-largest city following the bloodshed, before heavily armed officers surrounded a building and arrested him. Dutch authorities said they were still investigating a likely terrorist motive for the shooting but Prime Minister Mark Rutte said they “cannot exclude” other motives, including a family dispute. “We have just heard that the suspect we are looking for has been arrested,” Utrecht police chief Rob van Bree told a dramatic press conference seconds after being handed a piece of paper with news

of the arrest. The city’s mayor Jan van Zanen told the same news conference it was a “black day for Utrecht”, while prosecution officer Rutger Jeuken said that “it looks like what we are dealing with is a terrorist motive”. - ‘Questions and rumours’ The drama began when gunfire broke out on a tram near the 24 Oktoberplein square, sending people fleeing from the tram and triggering a huge police response. One witness told broadcaster NOS they saw an injured woman running out of the tram with blood on her hands and clothes who then fell to the ground. “I brought her into my car and helped her. When the police arrived, she was unconscious,” the witness, who was not named, told the broadcaster.

A body covered in a white sheet could later be seen lying on the tram tracks. Police then launched a massive manhunt during which the suspected gunman is believed to have carjacked a Renault Clio before being arrested about seven hours later, around three kilometres (two miles) from the attack site. Security forces were on high alert at airports and other government buildings following the attack, which came just days after 50 people were killed at mosques in New Zealand in a rampage by an alleged white supremacist. Dutch national counter-terrorism chief Pieter-Jaap Aalbersberg said authorities had lowered the terror threat in Utrecht one notch from the top level after “the arrest of the main suspect for the shooting”. Rutte said afterwards that the Netherlands would “never give way to intolerance”. “There are many questions and rumours,” he told a news conference in The Hague. “What the mo-

tive is, terrorist or other, we don’t yet know, but we can’t exclude anything.”

- ‘Terrible events’ Ordering flags to be flown at half-mast on Wednesday, Rutte added that a “sense of horror and disbelief prevails over the terrible events of today.” Provincial elections that will determine the make-up of the Dutch senate will still go ahead on Wednesday, Rutte said. Political parties halted campaigning on Monday because of the attack. As the focus turned to the alleged attacker, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country’s intelligence agency was “looking into the matter”, without providing further detail. “Some say it is a family matter, some say it is a terror attack ... Our intelligence agency is looking into the matter. I haven’t talked to our intelligence chief yet”, Erdogan told Ulke TV. The suspect’s father, Mehmet

Tanis, said his son “must be punished” if found responsible, Turkey’s DHA agency quoted him as saying. He said he had lost contact with his son having returned to his homeland in 2008 after divorcing his wife, DHA reported. She remained in the Netherlands with Gokmen. Dutch police said Gokmen Tanis was known to them while NOS reported that he was in court in a rape case two weeks ago. - ‘America stands with you’ The Netherlands has been largely spared the kind of attacks which have rocked its closest European neighbours in the past few years, but there has been a series of recent scares.
