Dennis Quaid Opens Up About Finding God in His Marriage to Laura Savoie
Dennis Quaid wasn’t “looking” for romance when he met wife Laura Savoie, but faith ultimately brought the pair together — and God has remained a crucial part of their marriage ever since.
“God is in our relationship. That [had] never even occurred to me before,” Quaid, 71, exclusively shared in the latest issue of Us Weekly while discussing his new film, I Can Only Imagine 2. “I thought, ‘Well, I have a relationship with God, so did she,’ but to have God be the third entity in the relationship is kind of a new idea. But that’s really the way it is.”
The Parent Trap star met Savoie, 32, in Las Vegas and proposed to her in October 2019, tying the knot the following year. Quaid, who was previously married three times before meeting Savoie, explained that the couple’s shared faith is a key part of what helps them maintain a healthy relationship.
“Otherwise you would wind up making the other person,” he explained. “You look to the other person to solve your problems, and we’re not equipped to do that. There’s a lot of things that we have, the baggage coming in [to a relationship], and it’s stuff that you need an expert [to deal with] — and that would be God.” (Quaid was married to P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983, Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2001 and Kimberly Buffington from 2004 to 2018.)
Dennis Quaid has been married to Laura Savoie for five years and couldn’t be happier. Quaid, 71, told Fox News Digital in an interview published on Monday, July 28, that he and Savoie, 32, are doing great. “My life is paradise,” he said. “Every day is paradise with her. It really is.” “It’s the closest […]
While God existing within his marriage is new territory for Quaid, his faith has “always” been with him in both his personal life and professional career. He began his foray into faith-based content with 2011’s Soul Surfer before being cast in 2018’s I Can Only Imagine as Arthur Millard, the real-life abusive father of MercyMe frontman Bart Millard.
It’s a role that Quaid admits he was “uncomfortable” to play, particularly as a father himself. The actor shares son Jack Quaid, 33, with Ryan, 64, and twins Thomas and Zoe, 18, with Buffington, 53.
“The way [Bart’s] father was, no matter the era, even from back then, [was] very abusive, almost criminal,” Quaid explained. “And people who are like that, they were abused themselves as kids as well.”
I Can Only Imagine tells the true story of how Bart wrote the now-famous titular song and formed the Christian band MercyMe in the early 2000s after finding inspiration from his tumultuous and fragmented relationship with his father. Things changed for the pair, however, when Arthur revealed a terminally ill cancer diagnosis, and the twosome explored a path to forgiveness before Arthur’s death.
Quaid returns as Arthur in I Can Only Imagine 2, which hits theaters on Friday, February 20. The actor said it was important to him to “finish the story out the right way,” noting that the second film feels more like a “continuation” than a traditional sequel. The movie also gives audiences a chance to experience some of Bart and Arthur’s happier moments, as well as get a better look at Arthur’s redemption.
“The part of Arthur was very dear to me, and maybe the No. 1 movie that people come up to me in airports and whisper that they really love,” Quaid told Us while praising director Andrew Erwin. “And I just wanted to be a part of it in that sense.”
Quaid felt a certain protectiveness toward Arthur, who he feels was “genuine” in his attempt to repair his relationship with his estranged son. “Rarely do I find that people can actually really fundamentally change,” he explained. “It really takes a lot to do that. And I think that can only happen with God’s help.”
He continued, “It’s hard to ask for something you feel like you don’t deserve, but [Arthur] and Bart, not right away, they developed a relationship that turned out to be sweet in the end. It broke the chain of that abuse. That’s the gift that Arthur was able to give.”
Quaid noted that “the real” Bart was on set during the filming of the movies, an added challenge in having to portray some of the singer’s most traumatic childhood memories.
“You know, he’s watching all these scenes on the monitor in the next room of pretty horrific scenes,” Quaid said, adding that he was thankful to have the musician there. “He was very upfront and honest with me, which I really appreciated.”
Quaid, of course, is no newcomer to portraying real-life figures. He’s played the likes of astronaut Gordon Cooper, rock musician Jerry Lee Lewis and Ronald Reagan in his decades-long career, among many others.
“I actually have a kind of a preference to play real people, real stories. Real stories are pretty fantastic, because if they were fiction, you wouldn’t believe them,” Quaid told Us. “II feel like our responsibility to the person that I’m playing is to play them from their point of view. Nobody thinks of themselves as a villain or really as a hero. It’s just to try to get down to the essence of a person.”
“I know if somebody was playing me in a movie, I’d at least want to have it be my point of view of my life,” he added with a laugh.
I Can Only Imagine 2 hits theaters on Friday, February 20.

Jelly Roll‘s wife, Bunnie Xo, gets candid about her reality with her medicated weight loss journey.
The podcaster revealed the emotional downside she faced as she worked on her physical being. Talking about a phase she does not wish to relive, she acknowledged that many others might be silently going through similar experiences, offering encouragement.
Jelly Roll’s wife, Bunnie Xo, has often shared her personal experiences on a wide range of topics with the public as a medium to build a connection with her fans. From events surrounding her childhood, adulthood, faith, health, and marriage, she leaves no stone unturned.

Inside Jelly Roll’s Wife’s Experience With Weight Loss Drug
Bunnie Xo shared her recent ordeal with the popular weight loss drug, GLP-1, noting that the aftereffects were not pleasant. She revealed that in December last year, it got so bad that she went through a bout of suicidal ideation while using the medication.
Before getting on the diabetic medication, she priced herself in the fact that she never dealt with depression despite her difficult life phases. She admitted that she had only battled with anxiety, so having depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts was a new wave for her.

“That was one of the darkest times of my life, and it was scary,” the podcaster exclusively told PEOPLE. “So when you get slammed with suicidal ideation and visions and just, oh, it was horrific.” Bunnie Xo did not waste time elaborating on the difference between the feelings of anxiety and depression.
She said, “You want to have anxiety because you want to be scared to die. You don’t want to have depression because you literally don’t care if you want to die. So yeah, it was really dark.” Speaking further, she explained that having suicidal ideation was really bad, as she had not experienced any since 2020.

Bunnie XO Explained Why She Turned To The Diabetic Medication
Still in her interview, the media personality noted that her emotional health had improved compared to where she was at last December. Bunnie Xo then revealed that her parents had diabetes, so she thought GLP-1 would improve her health.
“Both my parents had diabetes. So my insulin numbers are really crazy, and my body just cannot tolerate it,” she revealed before adding that she wished she were skinny and did not have to worry about weight gain.
Concluding her statement, the podcaster had a message to everyone going through a similar ordeal. She shared that, as much as the thought that they were going through it alone loomed, they should remember that everyone faces hard times.

The wife of the country singer stressed that people facing similar challenges should not give in to suicidal thoughts, as suicide is a permanent decision for a temporary emotion.

The Country Singer Also Had His Fair Share Of Struggles With Weight Loss
While Bunnie Xo’s trials tilted towards her emotional and mental state, her husband’s leaned on the physical. Jelly Roll previously got down to details about how his obesity affected his daily lifestyle and his sex life.
The musician detailed the intricacies of his sex life with his wife, explaining how he could not perform well in bed due to being overweight. The Blast shared that, besides getting into the act, Jelly Roll had issues getting aroused even while looking at his beautiful wife’s body.
He described his sex life as being at an all-time low before he made a conscious effort to lose weight by letting go of drugs, alcohol, and changing many of his life habits. Jelly Roll did not hold back with the details; he likened intimate moments with his wife to playing a game of Twister.
“Left foot here, right foot in the X. You know, are we in there yet? Tell me if you feel something,” the country singer detailed. Jelly Roll also noted that being obese put a strain on bonding with his son, Noah, as he could not play sports like basketball with him despite his desire to.

The Power Couple’s Marriage Previously Neared Its End
In an earlier release, The Blast detailed a phase where Bunnie Xo and Jelly Roll had their marriage on the rocks. This happened due to the country singer’s wave of infidelity.
The musician admitted his fault, though insisting that his cheating did not translate to a claim that he did not love the podcaster. The situation ultimately led to the lovebirds separating for a while, but they came back stronger as a couple and renewed their vows in 2023.
“Who knew that us breaking up in 2018, me moving back to Vegas & you coming to get me back – would. Our castle in the sand had to crumble so we could rebuild on solid ground,” Bunnie Xo wrote on social media.
Jelly Roll revealed that his moment of infection was one of the worst in his lifetime, explaining that it stemmed from the wrong crowd he hung around with.
He noted that he kept company with men who cheated on their partners, prompting him to view cheating as the norm. The bad influence, alongside his heavy drug use, led him to allow his fleshy desires to take control.

Jelly Roll’s Wife Had A Myriad Of Negative Incidents Growing Up
The list of negative occurrences Bunnie Xo has tied to her name seems really lengthy, and her memoir, “Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic,” is set to cover them in detail.
The podcaster revealed that she had a difficult childhood, beginning when her monster walked out of her life when she was only three months old and did not show up till she was twenty-two.
The author also had a troubled teenage and youthful phase after leaving home at 14; she was not a stranger to domestic violence, drug addiction, sexual assault, and other vices.
The Blast reported that Bunnie Xo revealed that she had an abortion at 16, has gone through two divorces, lived life as a sex worker, and built a criminal record featuring seven arrests.
She uses her experiences to warn others not to go down the same path she did, although she is grateful for the experience, as it helped shape her into the woman she is today.
What will Jelly Roll’s wife share next?
What I Like About You is finally streaming on Netflix — but the theme song will sound a little different.
The hit WB sitcom, which aired from 2002 to 2004, followed the lives of two sisters living together in New York City — teenager Holly (Amanda Bynes) and her responsible older sister, Val (Jennie Garth). In addition to Bynes and Garth the series starred Simon Rex, Wesley Jonathan, Leslie Grossman, Michael McMillian, Nick Zano, Allison Munn, Dan Cortese, Edward Kerr and David de Lautour.
What I Like About You pulled inspiration for its show title from the 1980 song of the same name by American rock band The Romantics. A cover version of the song — performed by Canadian all-female rock group Lillix — was used for the theme song after also being heard on the Freaky Friday and 13 Going on 30 soundtracks.
Season 2 featured a remixed techno/dance style version, which was the theme song for the rest of the series. Music costs and rights — and various DVD and streaming releases — led to the theme song replacing Lillix’s cover.
Amanda Bynes and Jennie Garth reminded fans of all the reasons they love the actresses during their run on What I Like About You. The duo starred as sisters Holly and Val Tyler, respectively, on the WB sitcom from 2002 to 2006. For four seasons, they cracked up viewers alongside their costars Nick Zano (Vince), Leslie Grossman […]
Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the theme song on What I Like About You — and the subsequent changes:
What Is the ‘What I Like About You’ Theme Song?
In season 1, a cover of The Romantics’ What I Like About You played across the original title sequence. It changed in the next three seasons with a remixed techno/dance style theme created by Philip Steir, who composed all the music for the remainder of the series.
When Did the ‘What I Like About You’ Theme Song Switch?
Wally Palmar, Mike Skill, Rich Cole and Jimmy Marinos wrote the 1980 track “What I Like About You,” which served as the inspiration for the show’s title. Rock group Lillix sang the cover featured in season 1 before it was swapped when Warner Home Video released the complete first season on DVD in 2007.
Due to high music licensing issues, Lillix’s cover of the theme song was removed and replaced with a generic song produced specifically for the DVD version. Low sales and high music licensing costs caused no further seasons to be given a general retail release. (The rest of the seasons were ultimately released by Warner Archive from 2017 to 2019.)
Getty Images (2) On January 11, 1995, a network launched that would become a destination for younger viewers — one that would have them saying “Oh what a night!” five times a week. In hindsight, The WB as a network was merely a blip in TV history; remaining on the air for just a short […]
Which Version of the ‘What I Like About You’ Theme Song Is on Netflix?
The show originally became available on HBO Max in January 2021 with the replacement song. It was the same version that started streaming on Netflix five years later.
Where Is ‘What I Like About You’ Available to Stream Now?
If you weren’t a fan of the show back in the day and managed to snag a DVD set, What I Like About You is available for purchase on iTunes or all four seasons are currently streaming on Netflix.
In the new explosive tell-all docuseries, “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model,” several personalities from the early 2000s reality show discussed some of the series’ most controversial moments and its place in pop culture history.
The Netflix documentary also explored Tyra Banks’ alleged fallout with Jay Manuel—something that occurred after the former creative director revealed he wanted to step away from competition series during an earlier season.

Jay Manuel Opens Up About What Led To His Reported Fallout With Longtime Friend Tyra Banks
While the first episode of “Reality Check” gives viewers a bit of background on how “America’s Next Top Model” came to be, the second and third episodes delve into some of the show’s biggest scandals, including Manuel’s relationship with Banks.
Manuel explained in one of the docuseries’ confessional interviews that although he initially loved filming the show, he was ready to spread his wings and pursue other opportunities after a few years as the reality show’s creative director.
Leaving, however, wasn’t as easy as Manuel thought it’d be. “I just felt like if I said no to Tyra I would be letting her down,” Manuel said in one of the episodes.

Manuel Reveals The Three-Word Email Tyra Banks Allegedly Sent Him
When Manuel finally worked up the courage to speak with Banks about his future on the show, he said he had sent her an email, and she replied with three words that would permanently change their dynamic.
“I am disappointed,” the reported email said.
Manuel shared that after he announced his plans to leave the series, executives called and begged him to stay on for another season so they would have more time to find his replacement.
Manuel added that whoever he was speaking to essentially threatened to have him blacklisted had he chosen not to return. “There was a warning that strikes the fear of God in you,” he said. “You know, people talk about being blacklisted. Those words were not used, but I had suspected that that’s what it would turn into.”

‘Reality Check’ Explores So Much More
Manuel’s relationship with Banks is just a small portion of the docuseries, according to an earlier report from The Blast. In addition to Manuel, other judges, J. Alexander and Nigel Barker, along with creator Ken Mok, and former contestants Whitney Thompson, Giselle Samson, Shannon Stewart, Shandi Sullivan, Dani Evans, and Keenyah Hill, are also involved.
The episodes take viewers on a trip down memory lane, looking back on some of “America’s Next Top Model’s” most controversial moments, including the race-swapping challenge, how producers edited certain women to look, and the network’s decision to air Sullivan’s heartbreaking break-up with her boyfriend, and what led to that.
At one point in the series, Banks admits that at a certain point, things on the set of “ANTM” got out of hand.

“I knew I went too far. It was very, very intense, but you guys were demanding it, so we kept pushing it, more and more and more,” the former Victoria’s Secret model shared.

Do The ‘ANTM’ Judges Have Any Regrets?
Regarding the season 4 race-swapping shoot (which has garnered much backlash from social media users today), Manuel admitted that he knew it wasn’t right. “My parents are from South Africa, they grew up during Apartheid. I’m very aware of that history and I just said, like, race swapping? Wow,” he said on camera.
Manuel even claimed that he asked to be excused from the shoot but was denied. “I recognized that my role was starting to have limitations and that shoot was happening regardless,” he added. “If you really look for it, you can see it on my face. Especially the setup for the day where I tell the girls what we’re doing. I could tell. I was just like, double swallowing, but I just had to do my job.”
More Secrets Will Be Shared
“Reality Check” isn’t the only behind-the-scenes documentary about “America’s Next Top Model” to hit the air this year. According to E! News, another series titled “Dirty Rotten Scandals” will focus on the many controversies that reportedly occurred on the set of “Dr. Phil,” “The Price is Right,” and, of course, “ANTM.”
“This groundbreaking documentary demonstrates how the promise of televised help may have become a platform for profit and exploitation,” the press release stated. “First-hand interviews with the contestants cast light on behind-the-scenes secrets and the steep prices they paid for a shot at being ‘on top.’”
Netflix’s “Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model” will be available to stream on February 16, 2026.

Glistens in 35th Birthday Hot Shots

Karol G‘s soaking up the sun — and our attention — in these sexy shoreline shots for her 35th birthday!
The singer-songwriter’s celebrating another year around the sun Saturday … and we’ve put together these smoking hot pics of KG baring nearly all on the beach — sun’s out, buns out … and her chest is on full display, too.
Karol added to her floral print 2-piece with a flower tucked behind her ear. She clearly just went for a dip too … with droplets of water still sliding down her tan bod.
While the star didn’t add a second Grammy to her shelf earlier this month — her album “Tropicoqueta” was nominated for Best Latin Pop Album — we hope she’s keeping her mind off the L with a fun birthday celebration.
Our minds certainly go blank with just one look at Karol in these shots!
Sixty-six years ago, Frank Sinatra changed the music industry forever by launching Reprise Records. It was an unapologetically bold move that redefined how the industry viewed, and later respected, artist ownership and creative freedom. Already a global superstar, Sinatra broke away from Capitol Records after growing frustration with feeling restricted and even controlled.
Determined that no other musician would feel the same, Sinatra built a label that truly valued its musicians. His bold creation later signing legends including The Beach Boys, Jimi Hendrix and Joni Mitchell. It was a courageous, industry-shaking act that empowered generations to come.
Frank Sinatra’s Record Label Gave Him Creative Freedom
Up until 1960, Frank Sinatra was the ultimate crooner. He had starred in fan favorite movies like High Society and Guys and Dolls, and released Come Fly With Me, but he wanted more than a poster boy. Before paving his own way, Sinatra was signed with Capitol Records, but he felt constricted by the big corporation. As one of the biggest musicians on the planet, it was reasonable for Sinatra to want a sense of control over his music if millions were listening. He was no longer a newcomer, he no longer needed guidance. Sinatra had wits, and he was ready to use them.
Reprise Records was launched, and soon after, Sinatra released Ring-a-Ding-Ding! It was very clear that Sinatra was the boss of the label, and legend has it he soon garnered the nickname of Chairman of the Board. While he was CEO, the nickname echoed the ultimate commanding energy Sinatra had. In the first signing of Reprise Records, Sinatra made sure that his nearest and dearest in the community gained the right kind of representation in order for them to feel creatively fulfilled. This included Rat Pack members Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr., but also Bing Crosby, Duke Ellington, and, of course, Nancy Sinatra.
But it was all in the name of creative freedom, liberation, and autonomy. One of the founding principles of Reprise Records was for musical artists to gain full ownership of their work, including publishing rights. This bold move was what set Reprise up as a revolutionary label for its time, and one that still has a more artist-centered ethos than many others today.
Reprise Records Opened the Door For Other Legendary Musicians
Reprise was revolutionary in its music-first philosophy, but it was struggling to be a commercial triumph. In 1963, Warner Bros made a deal with the label, ultimately purchasing two-thirds to make Reprise a subsidiary of Warner Bros. In exchange, Sinatra would be a member of their film stable. Nevertheless, Sinatra remained the owner of a third of Reprise, keeping him a key figure of the label. The true key figure in this negotiation, though, was Reprise president Mo Ostin, who actually went on to chair Warner Bros. Records from 1972 to 1994. The deal ensured Reprise did not lose sight of its foundational principles, and it continued to be a label with musical artists truly at its core.
With Reprise’s cash flow rescued, and the increased powers of distribution and marketing from Warner Bros, Sinatra’s label was ready to make serious moves. The 1960s was a decade of rapid evolution, perhaps the quickest of the entire twentieth century. Mods quickly turned psychedelic, folk shifted into pop, and rock and roll transformed into heavy metal. To keep up with these turbulent times, Reprise soon ensured that their roster expanded from the familiarity of the Rat Pack to adopting the seriously big names of the ‘60s.
Frank Sinatra’s Biggest Hit of All Time Almost Never Happened
The iconic song that almost slipped away from Sinatra’s grasp.
The musical expansion of Reprise included signing Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, and The Beach Boys. The diversification of the label was crucial in Reprise gaining the success that it was beginning to experience. The musicians they represented were young and genuinely cool, and it was obvious through their work that they were afforded an unshackled approach to their writing and performance. Joni Mitchell wrote unapologetically from the heart, refusing to be filtered, Jimi Hendrix was brilliantly unruly, and Neil Young kept his raw acoustic roots close to folk.
By 1976, Reprise entered an era of dormancy, and the label was deactivated except for the discography of Sinatra and Young, who insisted the logo remained on their releases. Most of the artists signed to Reprise at that time ultimately moved over to Warner Bros, but this wasn’t the last chapter for Reprise. In 1987, Ostin announced the reactivation of Reprise Records, and it continues to operate. The label has been on a journey since its formation 66 years ago, but a dedication to prioritizing artists in a sometimes cynical industry takes courage. That courage, led by Sinatra, has truly paid off.

Kristin Cavallari Sets New Rule For Dating As A Mom
Cavallari opened up about a new non-negotiable in her dating life, shaped by her experiences as a mom.
During a rapid-fire segment on dating preferences, Cavallari said a man who doesn’t have children and doesn’t want them is now a deal breaker for her.
“That’s become a new deal breaker for me,” she explained. “Someone who doesn’t have kids and doesn’t want any, I’m like, ‘You won’t understand my life.’”
Shahi agreed, noting that motherhood expands a woman’s emotional perspective, and a potential partner without children might struggle to relate.

Both women agreed that parenting changes priorities, making such a partner incompatible. Cavallari, 39, shares three children, Camden, Jaxon, and Saylor, with ex-husband Jay Cutler.
They were married for nearly seven years before divorcing in 2020.

“I don’t care at the end of the day what Jax and Camden think about me. It’s my kids,” she told guest Rachel Bilson. “But I can’t be saying stuff that’s gonna affect them and their friends.”

At the time, an insider shared that while Estes wanted to “settle down and start a family,” Cavallari was content with her life and three children, and the 13-year age gap also played a role.
The source added, “As they started to get more serious in their relationship, issues started to surface. They kept having conversations about the future, but weren’t aligned.”

The Reality TV Star Claimed She Only Had One ‘Great’ Date In 2025
During an episode of her podcast, Cavallari revealed she had only gone on one “great” date last year but mostly focused on herself.
“I haven’t been dating this year, you guys. I haven’t been dating,” she said, per People Magazine. “I did just go on a date, and it was a great date … I went on one date. But I was excited to go on a date.”
Cavallari then added, “I’ve needed this year to kind of just focus on myself.”
Despite her claim about not going on dates in 2025, Cavallari had already revealed earlier that she had a brief romance with retired NHL player Nate Thompson.
She described their romance on an April 2025 episode as “the most honest, pure, amazing, quote-unquote relationship I’ve ever had.”
Kristin Cavallari’s Reason For Ending Her Brief Romance With Nate Thompson
Cavallari praised Thompson, a retired hockey player, as a dad and someone who had worked on himself, noting they connected deeply in a short time.
“Honestly, one of the deeper relationships I’ve had, especially in such a short amount of time,” she said at the time.
Their relationship ended in March after Cavallari realized she “just didn’t wanna be in a relationship” at that point.
Cavallari has since admitted that she’s taking a slower approach to dating. The reality TV star reflected on her romantic life, crediting her longtime friend and hairstylist Justin Anderson for providing much of the support she might otherwise seek from a partner.
“Other than sex, obviously,” she joked, acknowledging a lack in that department.
Jason Statham hasn’t exactly started the year on a hot streak after his new movie, Shelter, is struggling to get off the ground at the box office. The action thriller carries a $40 million budget, but it’s grossed only $29 million at the box office at the time of writing. Statham will have a chance to redeem himself later this year when Mutiny comes out this August, though. Over the years, he’s starred in plenty of action hits and misses, so Shelter‘s unfortunate box office failure likely won’t hold him back at all.
However, long before the idea of Shelter ever popped into anyone’s head, Statham starred in a critically panned drug crime thriller that’s finally getting its due on streaming. Statham stars alongside Winona Ryder (Stranger Things) and James Franco (Spider-Man 3) in Homefront, a conspiracy thriller following a former DEA agent who moves to a quiet town to spend more time with his daughter, when he gets tangled up with a local meth drug lord. Homefront has been compared to Denzel Washington’s first Equalizer movie, with both films having similar plots following a retired former operative who is pulled back into the action.
Homefront recently began streaming on Netflix in America, where it’s quietly become one of the streamer’s top 10 most popular movies in the last week. The film earned scores of 42% from critics and 61% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $48 million at the box office against a $22 million budget. Sylvester Stallone wrote the script for Homefront with Gary Fleder directing. Stallone originally wrote the part in Homefront for himself, but he later chose to go with Statham after deciding he was too old for the role.
Does Jason Statham Have Any Other Movies on Netflix?
Jason Statham does have other movies streaming on Netflix, but one of them is confirmed to leave soon. Netflix is removing Snatch, the crime thriller co-starring Brad Pitt, from its streaming library at the end of the month on February 28. Wrath of Man, the 2021 action thriller directed by Guy Ritchie, is also streaming on Netflix right now. It was one of the platform’s most popular movies in January. The fourth Expendables movie has even been confirmed to begin streaming on Netflix later this month, on February 20.
Be sure to watch Homefront before it leaves Netflix, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Streaming charts have a funny way of resurfacing movies that were always good but didn’t stay in the day-to-day conversation, and for this particular case, despite a billion-dollar footprint. Right now, one Disney sequel is quietly doing exactly that and reminding people what big, clean blockbuster craftsmanship looks like when it’s driven by set pieces, character momentum, and a premise that keeps escalating instead of stalling. It’s also a case study in why length doesn’t automatically mean bloat: this one runs 151 minutes, yet it’s paced like it’s trying to beat the clock.
This movie unleashed a villain so visually convincing and so immediately iconic that the movie’s entire mood shifts the second he enters. The filmmaking is confident, too, with a director who knows how to stage action so you always understand geography, stakes, and the next complication. And audiences showed up in a massive way back in 2006: it was made for about $225M and ended up crossing $1.06B worldwide, the kind of commercial footprint that turns a sequel into an event.
That sneaky sleeper, as per FlixPatrol, is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, which is currently charting on Disney+’s Top 10 this week — most notably in the United States, where it moved from #9 yesterday and is currently at #10 at the time of writing (with additional appearances in markets like Italy and San Marino). If you’ve ever wondered why Davy Jones still gets cited as a gold-standard blockbuster antagonist (brought to life by Bill Nighy’s performance and cutting-edge effects), the algorithm is basically telling you it’s time for a rewatch.
What’s New With the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Reboot?
The latest, credible signal is still that Jerry Bruckheimer is still steering development and framing the next film as a reboot/soft reset rather than a straight “Part 6.” He’s also said the screenplay is still being worked on (with Jeff Nathanson on draft duty) and that the post-strike slowdown is part of why it’s taking longer to lock. Meanwhile, there’s no solid update on Johnny Depp’s involvement and Margot Robbie being in the orbit.
Depp, meanwhile, after all that controversy and a long hiatus, is set to have a big year with Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol and possibly Day Drinker. The release date for A Christmas Carol is currently stated as November 13, 2026, and the release date for Day Drinker is not yet unveiled. The next couple of months will also either completely open or close the door on Depp’s return for a potential sixth POTC film.
All Pirates of the Caribbean films are available to stream on Disney+. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

![Heathrow has said passenger numbers were 60% lower in November than before the coronavirus pandemic and there were “high cancellations” among business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas for Christmas as Omicron spreads. The UK’s largest airport said the government’s travel restrictions had dealt a fresh blow to travel confidence and predicted it was likely to take several years for passenger numbers to return to pre-pandemic levels. This week ministers said passengers arriving in the UK would have to take a pre-departure Covid test, as well as a post-flight test, because of fears about the spread of the new variant. “[The] high level of cancellations by business travellers concerned about being trapped overseas because of pre-departure testing shows the potential harm to the economy of travel restrictions,” the airport said in an update. Heathrow said the drop in traveller confidence owing to the new travel restrictions had negated the benefit of reopening the all-important corridor to North America for business and holiday travel last month. Eleven African countries have been added to the government’s red list, requiring travellers to quarantine before reuniting with families. “By allowing Brits to isolate at home, ministers can make sure they are reunited with their loved ones this Christmas,” said John Holland-Kaye, the chief executive of Heathrow. “It would send a strong signal that restrictions on travel will be removed as soon as safely possible to give passengers the confidence to book for 2022, opening up thousands of new jobs for local people at Heathrow. Let’s reunite families for Christmas.” Heathrow said that if the government could safely signal that restrictions would be lifted soon, then employers at Heathrow would have the confidence to hire thousands of staff in anticipation of a boost in business next summer. The airport is expecting a slow start to 2022, finishing next year with about 45 million passengers – just over half of pre-pandemic levels. This week Tui, Europe’s largest package holiday operator, said it expected bookings for next summer to bounce back to 2019 levels. However, Heathrow said on Friday not to expect the aviation industry to recover for several years. “We do not expect that international travel will recover to 2019 levels until at least all travel restrictions (including testing) are removed from all the markets that we serve, at both ends of the route, and there is no risk of new restrictions, such as quarantine, being imposed,” the airport said.](https://wordupnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/shutterstock_1100012546-scaled-400x240.jpg)
