Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show featured a genuine wedding ceremony, while Crypto.com made a record-breaking $70 million purchase of the AI.com domain ahead of the game, according to reports. The Super Bowl also saw the rise of GLP-1 weight loss medication ads, marking a cultural milestone, while a documentary about Melania Trump experienced a significant drop in its second weekend at the box office.
The wedding ceremony, which took place during Bad Bunny's performance at Levi's Stadium in California, was confirmed as authentic by Sky News. The unnamed couple had initially invited the rapper to their wedding, but he instead invited them to be part of his halftime show. An officiant declared the couple husband and wife in Spanish, followed by a kiss, as reported by Sky News.
Meanwhile, Crypto.com's founder, Kris Marszalek, made the most expensive domain purchase in history, buying AI.com for $70 million, as reported by TechCrunch. The deal was paid entirely in cryptocurrency to an unknown seller. Marszalek plans to debut the site during the Super Bowl, offering consumers a personal AI agent. "If you take a long-term view - 10 to 20 years - AI is going to be one of the greatest technological waves of our lifetime," he told the Financial Times, according to TechCrunch.
The Super Bowl also highlighted the growing prominence of GLP-1 weight loss medications. Fortune reported that several high-profile campaigns for these therapies took center stage during the commercials, representing a significant advance in weight management. These medications help regulate appetite and improve metabolic health, aiding in weight loss.
In contrast, the documentary about Melania Trump, which Amazon acquired for $40 million and spent $35 million marketing, saw a 67% drop in its second weekend at the box office, according to TechCrunch. The film has grossed a total of $13.5 million so far, making it unlikely to break even in theaters.
