Disney’s newest Star Wars movie, ‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’ just opened in theaters. It cost millions upon millions to make the film and it is absolutely getting its butt kicked by a small, independent horror movie called ‘Obsession’ which was made for a paltry $750,000.

Of course, $750K is a lot of money, but not by the standards of a Hollywood movie. That’s chump change.

Even so, people are flocking to theaters to see ‘Obsession’ instead of Disney’s newest expensive flick.

Star Wars fans have just been burned too many times. Disney basically broke the franchise by using it to push DEI and other woke concepts.

FOX News reports:

Low-budget horror flick ‘Obsession’ shatters box office expectations as new Star Wars film comes up short

A low-budget horror flick is defying gravity at the box office while the latest big-budget “Star Wars” movie had a rough launch compared to its predecessors.

Focus Features’ “Obsession” was made with a microbudget of under $1 million. Initial projections showed it making less than $10 million in its opening weekend. It ended up making over $17 million.

This past weekend, it made roughly $24 million — $30 million when including Memorial Day — a whopping 30% increase from its opening weekend, outpacing much bigger films like “The Devil Wears Prada 2” and the Michael Jackson biopic “Michael.” It even outgrossed “The Mandalorian and Grogu” on Wednesday.

Such a bump for a film in its second weekend is nearly unheard of. It has already grossed over $70 million worldwide and is now projected to make more than $100 million during its theatrical run, making it one of the most profitable films of the year.

What’s remarkable about the success of “Obsession” is that it proves that Hollywood star power isn’t always needed to get butts in seats. The director is a 26-year-old content creator named Curry Barker, who is part of the sketch comedy duo “That’s a Bad Idea,” which has over 1 million followers on YouTube and TikTok. Jason Blum, creator of BlumHouse Productions and producer of horror hits like “Get Out,” “Paranormal Activity” and “M3GAN,” only boarded “Obsession” as an executive producer after the film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival last year.

John Nolte of Breitbart News is a longtime critic of Disney. Here’s what he had to say about this:

To be fair, because I don’t want to take anything away from Obsession, that movie is a legitimate phenomenon, the rarest of rarities where word-of-mouth is driving it to increase its box office over time, and is doing so after launching wide. This has only happened a handful of times in the 50-year-old history of wide releases. Obsession is making box office history, and that accomplishment deserves to be recognized and not plowed under as we gloat over the failure of the groomers at Disney.

Nevertheless, Obsession’s astonishing success is its own thing, as is The Mandalorian and Grogu’s deeply satisfying failure.

If the man-hating bigots at Disney hadn’t alienated, insulted, and dismissed Star Wars fans, the piece you are reading right now could’ve been about how both movies are breaking the bank.

Disney just burned too many bridges with movie audiences. They’re reaping what they’ve sown.

Last night, when Spencer Pratt was on the Gutfeld! show, he made it clear that he doesn’t really care about celebrity endorsements.

Karen Bass on the other hand, is looking for every left wing celebrity endorsement she can get, and she just received one from Jane Fonda.

Liberal Hollywood boomers like Fonda will never change. There could be a mushroom cloud over the city of Los Angeles and Jane Fonda would still defend the Democrat, whether it was Karen Bass or someone else.

FOX News reported on the endorsement:

Karen Bass announces major new Hollywood endorsement ahead of Los Angeles mayoral race

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass announced on Thursday that she received an endorsement from actor and activist Jane Fonda.

“Jane Fonda has spent her life on the front lines — from civil rights to women’s rights to the fight for our climate — and I’m deeply honored to have her support,” Mayor Bass said in a statement to TheWrap.

The statement continued, “At a time when Donald Trump is attacking our city, our immigrant neighbors, and the freedoms generations of women fought to win, Angelenos need leaders willing to stand up and speak out. Jane has never been afraid to do either, and I’m proud to have her in this fight with us.”

Fox News Digital later confirmed the statement from the mayor’s office.

Fonda previously endorsed Bass and donated to her original mayoral campaign in 2022 against Rick Caruso.

However, Fonda also supported Bass’ current primary opponent Nithya Raman in her campaign for city council member in 2024. Fonda was present at Raman’s swearing-in ceremony.

Karen Bass bragged about the endorsement in this tweet:

The response she got from Kennedy of FOX News was nuclear. Kennedy wrote on Twitter/X:

When American POWs tried to sneak her notes with their personal information to tell their families they were still alive, she gave them to the North Vietnamese. Some of them were beaten to death. You are both commies and you can both fuck off.

Here’s the tweet:

That might be the most perfect response anyone could give in this situation.

Bravo, Kennedy.

There has been a lot of talk about Spencer Pratt’s AI campaign ads. They’re technically not even from his campaign, they’re being made by supporters, but they’re so well done that they get a lot of attention.

The newest one is very funny.

In the ad, a mother arrives at a hospital with her daughter who she claims is sick. You soon discover that the ‘sickness’ she is suffering from is that she has realized that Spencer Pratt is the most logical choice for mayor of Los Angeles.

The doctor consults with the mother about the daughter’s media consumption habits and hilarity ensues.

Watch the whole thing below. Be sure to watch to the end for all of the funny moments:

There is a sly self-deprecating satirical feel to these ads which goes unappreciated. They make sophisticated subtle fun of LA’s own self-deluding superficiality, including that of Pratt’s own milieu. This self-awareness is what makes them such striking popular art — and… https://t.co/JT6TDuaAWD

Something tells me this campaign is beta of what we are about to see in 2028.

You think the ai ads will be wild?

Less than a month ago, Pratt seemed like a total longshot. Very few people had ever even heard of him.

Now he is a viral sensation and he is surging in polls. Some celebrities are even getting on board, not that it should make a difference, but it’s remarkable.

All you need to know about Pratt’s success is that Jimmy Kimmel is now attacking him on his unfunny show. That proves that word has gone out. The left is definitely nervous, and they should be.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on Friday that two wicked leftists have been arrested, one who threatened to kill an ICE agent and his family, and another who is accused of biting agents, outside the Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark, New Jersey.

Anti-ICE rioters occupied the Newark facility this week, setting up barricades to block vehicles leaving the facility and assaulting feds in a violent uprising against the government for arresting criminals. As The Gateway Pundit reported, two individuals were arrested this week after attacking agents with a chemical substance near the ICE facility.

Another crazed lunatic was caught on video screaming at agents, "I'll kill your whole f*cking family! Your whole f*cking family is dead! Your children, your wife, all dead!"

He continued, "I have your face, motherf*cker! You're dead. Dead!"

Acting Attorney General Blanche responded to the incident during an interview with Fox's Will Cain on Thursday, noting that the Department of Justice knows his face, and "We will find him."

Think about how disgusting this individual is, threatening his family and his children with death," Blanche said. "We see his face, and we will find him, and when we find him, we will arrest him because it is a crime not only to threaten law enforcement, but not surprisingly, to threaten their family as well."

WATCH:

The next day, Blanche announced the suspect's arrest. "Told you," he said, adding "FAFO."

Told you. @FBI just arrested the man who threatened to kill ICE officers and their families. FAFO. https://t.co/ai2Y46nmOR

The Department of Homeland Security also wrote on X, "Justice will be served. The Trump Administration will always have the backs of our heroic law enforcement as they put their lives on the line to protect our nation."

Blanche also announced earlier that a rioter, identified as Brendan John Geier, was arrested and charged after kicking and biting ICE agents.

In gruesome photos of agents' injuries, gnarly gashes and teeth marks are seen on the agents' skin:

Blanche wrote on X:

Today @TheJusticeDept charged rioter Brendan John Geier for allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers at Delaney Hall last night. We will not tolerate the vicious attacks on ICE officers we’ve seen in New Jersey the last few days. These riots are clearly not “peaceful protests” as you can see from the photos of these horrific wounds. Assault a federal officer, you’ll be held accountable.

A new White House website builds upon the curiosity generated by the Trump administration’s release of government files on UFOs, but the message is far more down to earth.

“THEY WALK AMONG US,” Aliens.gov proclaims in glowing massive script.

“For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives. They’ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences,” the site reads.

“With one exception — they do not belong here,” the site said.

Loading… tonight. pic.twitter.com/3gU6ISfci6

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) May 28, 2026

The message starts to shine through as the script continues.

“Millions arrived under the cover of darkness and embedded themselves directly into our society. Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening. Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion,” the site says.

“Until one man finally had the courage to tell the truth. Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid. President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation.”

They walk among us. https://t.co/7HysdUuNVM pic.twitter.com/PkUHcT7igg

— The White House (@WhiteHouse) May 28, 2026

“The truth is no longer out there. It is right here. Right now,” the site continues.

After a counter logs numbers beyond 3 million, visitors then get the real message as they reach an “Alien Arrest Map” that logs the number of arrests made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“If you’ve witnessed an Alien abduction, do not be alarmed. The Alien is in good hands. We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin.”

For the clueless who are still trying to fit the site into theories that extra-terrestrial beings are on Earth, the site then spells it all out.

“THEY WEREN’T LITTLE GREEN MEN,” it declares.

“These ‘Aliens’ are the millions of ILLEGALS who invaded our country under the cover of darkness. President Trump told the truth. The cover-up is over. Secure the border. Deport them all,” the site reads.

The site also offers those who submit an email address the option of learning about illegal immigrant arrests near them.
