Beavis and Butt-Head Season 3 is coming to Comedy Central this fall(Paramount+) Beavis and Butt-Head Season 3 trailer teases Metallica cameo Paramount has also dropped the first trailer for the upcoming season, which featured a dream sequence where the notorious pair encounter heavy metal band Metallica. The bizarre moment sees Beavis and Butt-Head casually ask how much it would cost to buy the band: before accidentally hurling a gold bar at James Hetfield's head. The new season continued the show's classic formula of absurd humor and commentary on adolescence and pop culture, now in a more nostalgic cable-TV setting.

The Fantastic Four First Steps box office collection Day 1 projection: Marvel film posed to earn over $200 million worldwide
The Fantastic Four First Step box office collection Day 1 projection: No one on this entire planet is more nervous right now than the whole Marvel team. The Fantastic Four First Steps is less than 24 hours from release, and this truly is a make-or-break film for the studio. As Marvel takes the final few steps before releasing Avengers: Doomsday, First Steps will determine the amount of intent people will show while going to watch the future films. Numbers are in regarding the film's first day, and the studio has high expectations for the film during its opening weekend. According to Variety, The Fantastic Four First Steps is expected to earn over $100 million to $110 million in the US during the first three days. It is expected to earn another $90 million to $100 million at the international box office. Now bear in mind that the alien from Krypton has already set some pretty high standards when it comes to reboots and superhero movies, as James Gunn's Superman earned $122 million domestically during its opening weekend. Helmed by Matt Shakman and now equipped with the chatter and clamour after the post-credits scene leaks, the first family of Marvel might just beat Superman. ALSO READ: Who would win between Lex Luthor and Galactus? The actors who played them were wondering the same thing According to trade analyst Ramesh Bala, The Fantastic Four First Steps is expected to earn Rs 5 crore in India on Day 1, falling short of Superman's first-day net collection of Rs 7.25 crore. Marvel's recent form has to be taken into account, which ultimately affects the total number of people who are going to turn up to watch their films. The theatre experience takes effort, and you can't expect people to keep showing up when you refuse to deliver time after time. If Marvel truly pulls off a great film that uses iconic comic book characters to their full potential, they can very well be looking at a comeback. If not, the first three days will bring in curious people, but because of negative reviews, the numbers will start dropping as the days progress. Starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson, The Fantastic Four First Steps will release in India on July 25.
