‘Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping', The Big-Ticket Project At Cannes Market With One Huge Territory Ask Sparking Chatter — The Dish
That's a big number in today's market. But the franchise's record speaks for itself. The movies deliver and Lionsgate is gathering a strong cast for the latest installment, with Ralph Fiennes the latest addition as villainous President Coriolanus Snow, joining Joseph Zada, Whitney Peak, Mckenna Grace, Jesse Plemons, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor and Ben Wang. There's plenty of youth appeal, you'd think.

The chatter in the market is about some of the massive asks for the movie from director Francis Lawrence. Germany, we've heard from multiple sources, has an ask of north of $20M. That's pretty much a record single international territory ask. One German source even told us it was closer to $30M. In both instances the deal would come with other movies in the package. Chris Pine actioner Run The Night and John Wick spinoff Caine were two rumoured to be part of any deal. Lionsgate declined to comment.
Not that the ask will be the final purchase price, but who could afford close to that? Leonine took the last Hunger Games movie and is the natural answer. The company has done package deals with Lionsgate before. That's where most bets are that the movie lands in Germany. Could Amazon pick up multiple markets? That might put indie noses out of joint. It seems unlikely that Constantin would pay that price at the moment.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire made $43M in Germany in 2013. Multiple other movies in the franchise have made $20M in the market, including the last installment. There's clearly an appetite.
There are other big asks. Italy we heard was in the $7.5M range, Scandinavia in the $3-4M range, Middle East North Africa around $2M. All those are at the high end for asks in those markets so have generated plenty of chatter.
It'll be fascinating to see how the project is put together at such a budget in this climate. Maybe the budget will come down. We'll see. Ultimately, it's good for indie buyers to have a shot at a tried and tested franchise. Many are taken off the table by streamers and studios.
Happy Cannes Hunger Games! May the odds be ever in your favor!

‘Fubar' Canceled By Netflix After 2 Seasons
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is not proceeding with a third season of Arnold Schwarzenegger's spy action series Fubar. The decision comes about a month and a half after Season 2 launched on the platform on June 12. It follows surprisingly soft performance for the series, which, likely fueled by Schwarzenegger's global star power, had a strong series launch in May 2023 and also stars Monica Barbaro who became an Oscar nominee between Seasons 1 and 2 for A Complete Unknown. More from Deadline 7 Differences In Netflix's 'My Oxford Year' Film Vs. Julia Whelan's Book All The Songs You'll Hear In Netflix's 'My Oxford Year' Rom Com Book Adaptation Netflix Rom-Com 'Voicemails For Isabelle' Adds Nick Offerman, Lukas Gage, Harry Shum Jr., Ciara Bravo & More To Cast Returning more than two years after Season 1 dropped, Fubar barely made Netflix's Top 10 for English-language series in its first week, landing in the last spot with 2.2M views from Thursday through Sunday, down from about 11M views for the show's Season 1 premiere weekend. Season 2 peaked at #7 in its first full week with 3.3M views and logged one more #10 finish in Week 3 with 1.8M views before dropping out of the Top 10. This still is a rare Netflix cancellation of this year, joining another sophomore action drama, The Recruit, and freshmen Pulse and The Residence. The streamer has renewed close to 20 scripted shows over that period, most recently limited series Untamed for Season 2, Shane Gillis' comedy Tires for Season 3 and romantic dramas Ransom Canyon for Season 2 and Virgin River for Season 8. Fubar centers on a CIA operative (Schwarzenegger) on the verge of retirement who discovers a family secret and is forced to go back into the field for one last job. Carrie-Anne Moss joined the cast in Season 2 as Greta Nelso, a former East German spy who has a passionate history with Luke Brunner (Schwarzenegger). Season 2 also stars Milan Carter, Fortune Feimster, Travis Van Winkle, Fabiana Udenio, Aparna Brielle, Guy Burnet, Andy Buckley, Jay Baruchel, Barbara Eve Harris and Scott Thompson. Nick Santora serves as showrunner and executive produces with Schwarzenegger. Additional executive producers are Adam Higgs, Scott Sullivan, Phil Abraham, Amy Pocha, Seth Cohen and Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Matt Thunell.

After being fed up with the constant chaos of toys, water bottles, and miscellaneous items all over the car, I installed this in my car, and BOY WHAT A DIFFERENCE. Everything has a place, and there's a place for everything. It's not bulky or cumbersome. Spacious enough to fit a bunch of things. Worth it.

They do NOT leave that stain on your wall, and when they get dirty, you wash them off, and they are sticky again! 10/10" —Elizabeth it from Amazon for $11.99. A fruit and veggie divider that is going to chop time off prepping lunch and snacks for the kiddos. With this in your tool belt, you'll be ready to make some fancy after-school crudités! Promising review: "Ever since we got this, it has been used quite frequently!! We have two young kids at home (5- and 3-years-old) and by using this fruit/veggie cutter, we have increased their fruit and veggie intake! We would give them fruits/veggies to cut, and they would cut and eat them! It is very easy to cut, as our kids can do it by themselves (with adult supervision). It cuts small cucumbers with ease. It is also very easy to clean!" —A&PGet it from Amazon for $9.60.

If they would like chips or crackers, I simply place those in the lunch box, along with an ice pack, to keep things cool. The Bentgo Box, a slim ice pack, and a small bag of chips or crackers easily fit in a child's lunchbox. The gaskets work well, and dressings/liquids do not leak to other compartments. So far, so good!" —ErinGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in eight colors).

We have these and use them all the time, even on the weekend for day trips! Promising review: "10/10 recommend! I put yogurt, fruit, apple sauce, and whatever else I want. I did a five-hour test at home before I sent it with the kids to school, and it passed my five-hour test. At the five-hour mark, everything was still refrigerator-cold! Give it a try, you won't regret it." —Kim StewartGet it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight patterns). A pack of sink extenders, which will save your back each time you need to lift your kiddo to wash their hands. And let's be real, that's a during cold season! A truly brilliant cup catcher that attaches right to a high chair, car seat, or stroller, because playing a game of throw-it-down-and-pick-it-up with a baby isn't quite as charming when you also have to chase around a toddler. A space-saving bottle drying rack to help you maintain some order in your kitchen — and in your life. It will grow with your family as you go from bottles to sippy cups (and then more bottles and more sippy cups!) and then water bottles. Psst... it's also helpful for drying glassware. Promising review: "I bought this product a month ago, and it does not disappoint me. This stuff is great. It works for small spaces. It looks more organized, and it doesn't get in my way when I'm working in the kitchen. I could fit five Dr. Brown's bottles with all their pieces. And it's durable. It looks like it's going to last a long time for me. I recommend it. It's a little more expensive than other bottle drying racks, but I would get this one." —JariGet it from Amazon for $15.93. A portable white-noise sound machine and night-light for those moments when you're out and about — like, for example, when you're getting coffee with a friend and you DESPERATELY need to talk to another grown-up. Just throwing that out there. S&H Co. is a small business founded by a nurse-turned-entrepreneur who sells unique, useful, and aesthetic child and parenting products from her farm in Montana. Promising reviews: "Using it myself. Very happy with it. Lots of different sounds to choose from." —Peggy J."Great quality, matched description, very happy with the merch. Highly recommend!!!" —MariaGet it from S&H Co. on Etsy for $28.99. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers that are the MVP of snacking with young kiddos. Trust us, the backseat of your car will thank you. A kid-friendly Sonicare electric toothbrush with a timer (and a very motivating app!) so that when you ask if they've brushed their teeth, you can know for sure that those pearly whites got a proper scrubbing. Promising review: "Not only do my 7-year-old's teeth look so much cleaner than they did when he was brushing them without an electric toothbrush, but he really looks forward to brushing and is motivated to brush twice a day!!! As a mom, this is very exciting. No more excuses from him since he uses the toothbrush app, gets to brush along with his fuzzy, cute friend, and earns virtual prizes. Wow! I do need to give him an extra minute before school and bed to brush along with his app, but it is more than worth it!!! Thank you!" —kristenGet it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in four designs). A universal stroller caddy because your stroller is basically an extension of your home, and it's going to have to hold a LOT of stuff. Bonus: This caddy has two insulated beverage holders — one for your caffeine (or grown-up juice) and the other for your baby's bottle. And then, when it's time, a baby's bottle and a toddler's sippy cup. Promising review: "Versatile and durable stroller organizer that doesn't add too much weight to the back end of your stroller. It is made of quality materials and doesn't budge when strapped on. It doesn't get in the way of folding my stroller, either. The insulated drink pockets are a nice touch, and I appreciate that the center console is large enough for my phone." —Kierra|Practically PurchasedGet it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in eight colors). A colorful timer that will give everyone a visual reminder of how much (or how little!) time they have to get those teeth brushed and shoes on. Start using this, and hopefully, everything will be sunshine and rainbows! Promising review: "My toddler struggled with transitions from one activity to another, so we got this little timer. She loves it because it's cute, and now we transition easily. When she hears the beep, she says, 'That's the timer,' and moves on from what she's doing. I'm honestly amazed at how well it works. It's small but mighty and easy to carry around the house with us!" —Kimberly SGet it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors). A bottle of this fantastic conditioning detangler from the Honest Company, so doing hair isn't the thing that puts a tangle in your morning routine. I love the way it smells, and it makes brushing my daughter's long hair nice and easy! Promising review: "This stuff is great. I wish it came in a much bigger bottle because it works so well on my daughter's super-fine hair. It has a nice, light scent, doesn't leave residue on her hair, and makes getting her hair ready for school much less of a battle." —Jessica it from Amazon for $5.92 (available in three scents). A four-pack of Re-Play divided plates to make feeding your littles even easier. This is the brand my family has used for more than five years, so I can personally speak to their durability, and let me tell the real deal. Promising review: "Just bought another set! I love these plates. I already owned probably about 10 of these and just bought the earthy colored set. These are the best! The ones I've had for YEARS still look new/great! They are not just toddler plates. Even my 6-year-old uses them, and they're still big enough for him. Kids of any age can use these. I can't brag about these plates enough. They are hands down the best." —amberlar96Get a four-pack from Target for $9.99. A mini waffle maker that is not only sweet but — more importantly — will get breakfast on the table very, very quickly. Make a few extras and put them in your kiddo's snack bag for later! Promising review: "The mini size of this waffle maker is what makes it easy to use, store, clean, and create many recipes effortlessly. It's a no-mess waffle maker because all you need to do is pour the batter. Once the maker is ready, you wait until it's done. A crispy/crunchy/munchy treat that's ready to devour. No fuss of too many settings, buttons, or learning whatsoever! This is as easy as it can be. Such a good quality, durable, versatile product at a reasonable price. Worth every penny!" —An average human. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 17 colors and styles). A wooden Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar to help you all keep track of what day it is. This will help keep routines going, even during school vacations! Promising review: "This is a great idea to get kids involved and learn about days of the week, months, the weather, events, etc. We start each day with it before leaving for school, and the kids love it!" —Cindy SGet it from Amazon for $14.79. An over-the-door weekly clothes organizer so you can avoid the "I have nothing to wear" meltdown 15 minutes before you need to leave to be somewhere. Come to think of it, ordering one for yourself might not be the worst idea... Promising review: "My son started kindergarten, and this is a big help for my husband and me. It's so nice having one less thing to stress about in the morning. It also helps my son to recognize the days of the week and how many days we have left. The sleeves are a good size for smaller clothing, pockets seem pretty durable. I had some issues with the door, which was hanging on closing, but I then moved it. Easy to use and a good value." —DeannaGet it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors). A universal weather shield for your stroller for those moments when you HAVE to get outside for a reset ASAP — wind, rain, or shine. Not only will this keep the wind and rain out of your little pumpkin's sweet face, but it also keeps them from touching every single thing in sight. Promising review: "So this product is great for afternoon showers at the theme parks, but recently, with COVID, I have been able to put it to great use when having to be out with my toddler in public. She is protected and not touching everything. I clip a battery-operated fan on her stroller under the plastic for circulation and give her videos for entertainment. Makes grocery shopping for parents much safer and easier!" —traceyGet it from Walmart for $17.18

We're Finally Getting A Holiday Follow-Up After Years Of Asking. While It's Not Exactly What I Wanted, I Am Intrigued
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. For years, there has been buzz and rumors about a sequel to The Holiday as well as multiple shutdowns of said rumors. However, it would seem that the iconic rom-com is finally getting a continuation…However, it's not The Holiday 2. Instead, it's being reported that this iconic movie is being adapted into a limited series over at Apple TV+. While this isn't exactly what I wanted, I have to say, I am intrigued. The Holiday Is Being Adapted Into A TV Show At Apple TV+ The Holiday is considered not only one of the best Christmas movies but one of the best rom-coms. The tale of two single women, who are played by Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, switching homes and falling in love in their new cities is such a cozy one that so many adore. And now, it seems like a home switch will happen again, but with all new people. It's been reported that The Holiday will be adapted into a limited series at Apple TV+, according to Deadline. Krissie Ducker, who wrote and co-executive-produced the Ella Purnell-led series Sweetpea, will be a writer and EP on this show. It will also be produced by Left Bank Pictures. Along with them, Rob Delaney has signed on as a writer as well. A casting search is reportedly already underway, and the project is looking for well-known actresses to play the leads. This makes sense considering Winslet and Diaz, as well as the actors playing their love interests, Jack Black and Jude Law, were all very well known when they were cast in the 2006 movie. If they find their leads, the series will allegedly get the green light. The downside is, reportedly, Nancy Meyers has no involvement in this new iteration of her story. Obviously, I Wanted The Holiday 2. However, This New Series Has My Attention Now, Meyers not being attached throws up a big caution flag in my mind. However, there are other elements of this new series that make me very, very excited. Specifically, Rob Delaney's involvement really intrigues me. He notably co-created, wrote, and executive-produced the acclaimed Amazon Prime series Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan. That series is about an American man and an Irish woman who hook up and wind up dealing with an accidental pregnancy. It ran for four seasons, which gives me confidence in Delaney's ability to help create a new romantic comedy. Along with that, while he's not attached to star in this Holiday adaptation, Rob Delaney is an amazing actor and romantic lead. From Catastrophe to Dying for Sex (for which he got a 2025 Emmy nomination), he's shown off his comedic, dramatic and romantic acting skills on many occasions. So, personally, I think he'd also be a fun person to actually star in this show as well. So, taking into account who is involved, consider me cautiously optimistic and intrigued when it comes to this new iteration of The Holiday. While it's no The Holiday 2, you better believe I'll be using my Apple TV+ subscription to tune in and see this new take on a beloved rom-com classic. Solve the daily Crossword
