Trump & Musk in Crisis as "Send Help" & "Melania" Dominate

'Send Help' Soars to No. 1 as Government Shutdown Looms

Sam Raimi's "Send Help" topped the box office with a $20 million debut, while a documentary about Melania Trump exceeded expectations, earning $7.04 million, according to Variety. The film, titled "Melania," shadows the former First Lady in the lead-up to Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration.

Meanwhile, multiple news sources reported a likely extension of the government shutdown due to delayed House votes. The shutdown occurred as Elon Musk and Donald Trump faced separate controversies.

In other news, Disney and the NFL finalized a deal making the league a minority owner in ESPN, according to Variety. WNBA player Erica Wheeler partnered with OnlyFans to share diverse content, aiming to broaden the platform's appeal beyond adult entertainment.

President Trump's poll numbers were reportedly declining, prompting questions about the views of his base. Astead Herndon of Vox noted the need for political journalists to have a connection to the MAGA community to understand the political landscape.

Concerns about the state of human rights under a second Trump administration were also raised. According to Time, the rules-based order that helped make human rights enforceable is "fraying fast" under pressure from the Trump administration, as well as China and Russia. The article suggests that a new, durable human rights alliance is needed to defend core norms.

Kaley Cuoco's new thriller, "Vanished," received a less-than-favorable review from Variety. Alison Herman described it as a "lesser retread of 'The Flight Attendant.'"
