Timothée Chalamet's Mom Just Spoke Out About His Relationship with Kylie Jenner
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's relationship has intrigued fans and haters alike online ever since they started dating. Neither star is outspoken about their relationship, but they aren't exactly hiding it, either. Maybe they're not posting lovey-dovey Instagrams, talking about each other in interviews, or posing on the red carpet together, but they are attending awards shows, sporting events, and music festivals together.
Now, though, there is a teeny bit of insight into their relationship from a surprising person in a surprising place: Chalamet's mom in an interview about her real estate career.
The Dune star's mother, Nicole Flender, was profiled by Curbed in relation to her work as a real estate agent in New York City. Like her son and her daughter, actor Pauline Chalamet, Flender also works in the arts. She's been a dance teacher and worked with the theater union Actors' Equity. She still substitute teaches and occasionally acts today. She talks about all of this in the interview, and the conversation touches on Chalamet's relationship with Jenner when his own home purchase was brought up: an $11 million house in Beverly Hills.
"Did he ask for my advice? No," Flender told Curbed. "He said, 'Guess what? I bought a house.'"
Since Beverly Hills is pretty close to where Jenner lives, the Kardashians star got a mention, too. "I have to say she's lovely,' Flender said of her son's girlfriend. 'She's very nice to me."
Recently, Flender and Jenner were both Chalamet's guests at the Academy Awards where he was nominated for Best Actor for A Complete Unknown. Chalamet and his mom arrived to the event together, and Jenner joined them once they were inside the theater.
Flender looks forward to visiting Chalamet (and, presumably, Jenner) on the west coast, but has no interest in moving to be closer to either of her children. (Pauline lives in Paris.) "Would you like your mom to be trailing you everywhere?' she said. 'I like being able to go visit them.'

‘Dune' studio Legendary weighs buying Lionsgate Studios
Legendary Entertainment, the independent film and TV studio behind the 'Dune' trilogy and 'A Minecraft Movie,' is considering a takeover of Lionsgate Studios, according to people familiar with the matter. Legendary, which is backed by Apollo Global Management, first approached the company after Lionsgate finalized its separation from the Starz Entertainment Corp. TV network and streaming service in May, said the people, who asked not be named as the information is private. Those talks centered on a potential partnership to produce a handful of films so that Legendary could gauge how the two companies worked together and whether it should ultimately proceed with a takeover offer, the people said. Representatives for Legendary and Lionsgate declined to comment. Lionsgate shares jumped 8.6% after Bloomberg reported the news and ended the day up 20%. Lionsgate, which currently has a market cap of $1.8 billion, owns the rights to popular film franchises including 'John Wick,' 'The Hunger Games' and 'Twilight,' and would provide Legendary with a theatrical distribution network. Lionsgate has also produced TV hits including AMC's 'Mad Men.' 'A Minecraft Movie,' which was co-produced by Legendary and released by Warner Bros. Discovery's film studio in April, is the highest grossing movie at the domestic box office so far this year, having sold $423.9 million worth of tickets in the US and Canada. Legendary's exploration of a Lionsgate takeover 'is sensible, given it's a pure-play studio,' Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Geetha Ranganathan wrote in a note. A deep library of content accounts for a third of Lionsgate's revenue at a high profit margin, she noted. 'We suspect that Legendary's interest could spur others to potentially consider bids.' Josh Grode, Legendary's chief executive officer, said in a 2024 interview with Bloomberg Businessweek that he planned to tap Apollo's finances for takeovers in the entertainment industry that would collectively be worth billions of dollars. Last year, Legendary and Apollo were linked to a potential acquisition of the Paramount Pictures film studio, and were later involved in a potential acquisition of parent company Paramount Global. That business is instead being acquired by David Ellison's Skydance Media. Buckley and Shaw write for Bloomberg.

IMAX is headed for its best year on record as it capitalizes on Hollywood's box office rebound
More than a year before "F1: The Movie" would eventually hit theaters, Apple struck a deal with IMAX. The studio secured the use of IMAX's camera technology as well as a three-week release in its theaters, a partnership that helped the film generate nearly $300 million globally in its first 10 days in cinemas. More than 20% of that haul came from IMAX screenings. In the U.S. and Canada, the company's theaters have accounted for 25% of all domestic ticket sales for the film. That feat is made even more impressive by the fact that IMAX screens represent less than 1% of the total movie screens worldwide. Two other films released this year have exceeded 20% market share for the company — Warner Bros.' "Sinners" and Paramount's "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." It's a sign of strength for IMAX's place in the rapidly evolving film industry. IMAX has long been a coveted destination for theatrical releases, but as consumer tastes continue to shift toward premium experiences, it's quickly gaining market share and poised for exponential growth in the coming years. CEO Rich Gelfond is forecasting a $1.2 billion year at the global box for the company, which would be 33% higher than 2024's haul and a record for the 55-year-old business. Wall Street analysts expect 2026 will be even better. "Post-pandemic a lot of activities, especially event activities, have really done well [for] premium brands," Gelfond told CNBC. "You look at concerts, ticket prices went up. Premium seats have gone up. You look at sporting events, same kind of thing. Broadway. I think people, although they enjoy staying at home, streaming and watching streaming products, when they go out of the home, they want something sufficient distinguished from that." Investors have rallied behind IMAX stock. Shares of the company are up roughly 60% in the last 12 months. IMAX screens are notably larger than standard movie screens and the theaters feature immersive audio systems. The company doesn't just screen movies, many of the films that appear in IMAX were shot using cameras and technology developed by the company specifically tailored to the IMAX viewing experience. "This year, we have eight movies in a row in North America that were filmed with IMAX cameras, and typically the box office goes higher when you shoot with the cameras," Gelfond said. "And there's a couple reasons for that. One, it's a better way of watching it and listening to it. But also, the filmmakers typically get behind it more, and they tell their audiences that it's the best way to see their work. And I think that's a powerful impetus for audiences to go to IMAX." These "filmed for IMAX" titles include features like Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer," Denis Villeneuve's "Dune" films and even the latest "Mission: Impossible" flick from Tom Cruise. Tickets to see a film in IMAX typically cost a few dollars more than standard movie tickets, which can help to boost a box office haul. "The more 'filmed for IMAX' titles, the more outperformance you seen on the film for IMAX titles," said Alicia Reese, analyst at Wedbush. "The better the margins are going to be. As you see margins improve in 2025, you're going to see not just better quality title signings in 2026, but what I expect to see is that the studios will take more ownership of the marketing campaigns with even greater upside." Roth's Eric Handler said that IMAX has a "high-class problem of too much content availability." The "F1" deal for three weeks of screen programming meant that Universal's "Jurassic World Rebirth" got edged out: the film missed out on a domestic IMAX release and was only featured on IMAX screens in China. That film will also appear in IMAX screens in Japan next month. Domestically, the movie slate is strong is 2025 and 2026, with a number of major franchise film releases on the books. Coming soon is Warner Bros.' "Superman" followed by Disney and Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps." Then Universal's "Wicked: For Good" arrives ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday and Disney's "Avatar: Fire and Ash" hits theaters just before Christmas. 2026 kicks off with Amazon's "Project Hail Mary" and will also feature a new Avengers film, the first theatrical Star Wars release since 2019, a sequel to "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," a live-action "Moana" as well as "Toy Story 5" and "Shrek 5." And also in the mix is Nolan's next feature film "The Odyssey." New Hollywood releases are just one piece of IMAX's box office success. "Not only are they benefiting from Hollywood's recovery, they're also taking advantage of the global footprint and showing local language movies in China, in Japan and South Korea and parts of Europe," said Eric Handler, analyst at Roth. He noted that "Ne Zha 2," a Chinese release that has generated more than $2 billion in global ticket sales, was a particularly strong local language film for IMAX. The company generated nearly $170 million in receipts from screening the film. And there's still room for IMAX to grow. The company currently has around 1,700 screens worldwide, around 400 of which are in North America. Gelfond told CNBC that the company has contracts to build about 500 more IMAX screens. He said the company would share more specific details during its earnings report, which is due to be released later this month. "We signed almost as many new theaters this year as we signed for the whole year last year," Gelfond said. "So there's a lot of growth."

首張片場劇照曝光！《沙丘》第三部曲完整片名正式公開
Denis Villeneuve備受矚目的票房大作《沙丘》第三部曲正式公布完整片名——《沙丘：第三部 Dune: Part Three》。這一消息令不少粉絲略感意外，許多人原本預期電影會直接採用 Frank Herbert 第二部小說《沙丘：彌賽亞 Dune: Messiah》的名稱。本集選擇延續前兩部廣受好評的《沙丘》（2021）與《沙丘：第二部》（2024）的命名方式，顯示 Villeneuve 與 Warner Bros. 希望維持系列的一致性，讓新觀眾更容易理解這是直接續集，而非衍生作品。不過，部分粉絲對此表示失望，認為「彌賽亞」作為片名更具衝擊力與獨特性。 《沙丘：第三部》將改編自赫伯特 1969 年的小說《沙丘：彌賽亞》，故事時間線設定在《沙丘：第二部》事件約 12 年後，聚焦於 Paul Atreides（ Timothée Chalamet 飾）作為皇帝的旅程，以及他崛起所帶來的複雜後果。核心演員陣容包括 Timothée Chalamet、Zendaya 與 Florence Pugh 均確認回歸；令人振奮的是，Jason Momoa 將回歸飾演 Duncan Idaho，為這部續集增添亮點，而本片也將是 Denis Villeneuve 執導《沙丘》電影系列的最終章。 隨著拍攝工作正式展開，電影官方 X 平台分享電影首張劇照，本片預計於 2026 年 12 月 18 日上映。 '…on a journey into that land where we walk without footprints.' Production has begun on the next film in Denis Villeneuve's Dune trilogy. 📷 Denis Villeneuve📍 — DUNE (@dunemovie)July 8, 2025 相關報導 >再破 Netflix 史上紀錄！《魷魚遊戲》最終第 3 季開播 10 天狂吸 1.063 億次觀看 >Netflix 韓國真人版影集《我獨自升級 Solo Leveling》男主角人選正式出爐 >「更大膽、更血腥、更黑暗」Netflix 人氣影集《星期三》第 2 季最新預告正式放送
