Since Rekindling
JASON STATHAM IN WRATH OF MAN
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are back, and they're done hiding it ... because the first clear shots of them to- gether have surfaced, and they look all too pleased in each other's company.
Affleck flew into Miami Sunday to meet up with his old flame, trying to look incognito.
Affleck was rocking sun- glasses, a baseball hat pulled down low and a face mask for good measure. Yet, even with all that, he kinda stuck out like a sore thumb ... and photogra- phers picked up on the scent. Lopez didn't take long to get back into the streets after the break-up with Alex Ro- driquez.
Director Guy Ritchie's (The Gentlemen, Sherlock Holmes franchise) “Wrath of Man,” a heist thriller starring Jason Statham, is a certi- fied classic action/ drama film that is a must-see film for movie-goer.
The summer box office is expected to rebound with
“Cruella” and “A Quiet Place Part II” debut this week on Friday, May 28. “The num- bers don’t feel yet like sum- mer, but a movie like ‘Wrath Of Man’ can certainly get consumers in the mood for the upcoming summer kick- off on Memorial [Day] week- end,” he said.
If audiences want to see a vengeful Statham kick a** and take names, the only place to do so is their local theater. Ticket buyers ap- pear to be pleased with their purchase; the film has an “A- ” CinemaScore from movie- goers.

BOW WOW WITH SOULJA BOY AND ROMEO MILLER
Fast & Furious 9 is bringing the international box office back to life following the coro- navirus pandemic. The ninth installment of The Fast Saga has already earned $127 mil- lion from global markets and will likely make $160 million by the end of the weekend. That surpasses Godzilla vs. Kong to become the highest- grossing international debut for a film since the coron- avirus pandemic hit the film and theater industries. That's a good sign for the movie as it speeds towards its late June domestic opening in North America. Currently, the film is playing in eight countries, in- cluding Russia, South Korea, China, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt.
In China, a prominent and influential market, F9 has earned $105 million since

opening, the best start for a Hollywood movie in the re- gion since the pandemic began. It's on pace to become Universal Pictures' second- biggest opening in the market, behind only The Fate of the Furious.
In F9, Dominic Toretto and his crew join forces to battle the most skilled assas- sin and high-performance driver they've ever encoun-
tered -- his forsaken brother. The film stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Lu- dacris" Bridges, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell, and Charlize Theron. Director Justin Lin put together another ac- tion- packed film.
Last July, Bow Wow made it clear he had no intentions of doing a Verzuz with his on- and-off-again rap buddy, Soulja Boy.
However, on Saturday (May 22), the “Crank Dat” creator revealed that plans, like
minds, can change, and an- nounced they would be taking the digital Triller stage after all.
“Soulja Boy vs Bow Wow #verzuz it’s official,” he tweeted before adding eyeball and fire emojis.
