Trevor Noah Announces
Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Black Adam’ To Wake Up Fall Moviegoers With $65M-$70M Opening
That He's Leaving The Daily
Show With Trevor Noah
Seven years after taking over the satirical Comedy Central news show, Trevor Noah is reportedly preparing to leave The Daily Show. This is per Deadline, which reports that Noah announced the news to the show’s audience at the end of a recent taping.
South Africa-born comedian Noah took over The Daily Show in 2015, stepping into the unenviable position of host in the wake of the high-profile departure of long-time lead Jon Stewart.
In his message to fans today, Noah thanked both his fre- quent collaborators, and his audience. “I remember when we first started, so many peo- ple thought it was a crazy bet, I still think it was a crazy choice, this random African... what a journey’s it’s been. It’s been
Given the wonky market- place, studios haven’t been re- ally bullish about putting advance box office projections out there. No one wants to get over their skis. However, New Line’s DC Dwayne Johnson movie Black Adam is tracking to a $65M-$70M opening ac- cording to industry sources.
Black Adam opens on Oct. 21, and it’s the first major tent- pole we’ve had since Sony’s Bullet Train during the first weekend in August. That pic

just crossed $100M.
The pic is very hot on track- ing now, like a one-eyed giant in the land of the blind. Mean- ing there’s nothing else like it right now. The movie is strong with guys over and under 25, then women under 25, Latino and Hispanic moviegoers and families. If the pic exceeds $68.1M in its domestic start, it becomes Johnson’s best solo opening after 2001’s The Mummy Returns in which he had a cameo as The Scorpion King.

'P-Valley' Reportedly Being Renewed For Third And Fourth Season On STARZ
THE CAST OF ‘P-VALLEY’ AND CREATOR KATORI HALL
Our trips down to Chu- calissa won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. STARZ hasn’t officially renewed P- Valley yet but an inside source said it is in the works. According to LoveBScott, the series will be renewed for a third and fourth season.
The source added that there
was some discord behind the scenes between STARZ and the show’s creator Katori Hall. The show’s renewal hit a standstill for a bit because Hall was allegedly unhappy with P-Valley not getting as much attention as other STARZ shows, like the Power trilogy. There’s no doubt that

Katori Hall was more than elated about the high rat- ings.
