Jordan Peele's Nope Is No.1 At The Us Box Office

Writer and director Jordan Peele's latest film, Nope, earned $44 million at the US box office over the weekend, setting a new record for a completely original film opening since Once Upon a Time In Hollywood's $41 million gross in 2019. The figure did fall short of Peele's previous film, Us, which earned $71.1 million in its April 2019 debut weekend, Nope's performance is still impressive. While Peele's name is seen as a draw with movie audiences, Nope's R-rating, lack of major stars, and a slightly cooler reception than Peele's previous movies did present some significant barriers to its weekend debut. At the time of writing, Nope has an aggregate score of 76 on Metacritic, based on 51 critic review and a higher 83% based on 239 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Xbox Series X|S Is Cutting Its Boot-Up Time By Five Seconds

Microsoft has cut the boot time of the Xbox Series X|S consoles in half, as members of the Xbox Insider test program have noticed. As spotted by The Verge, the consoles now go from a cold boot to active in around five seconds thanks to a shorter bootup animation sequence. As confirmed by director of Xbox integrated marketing Josh Munsee, the company created the shorter boot-up animation sequence to reduce the overall startup time. Usually, an Xbox Series X|S will need around 10 seconds to fully load, which is still an impressive figure given that the Quick Resume function can store several games in a standby state. Can confirm - worked with @harrisonhoffman and @jakerose27 to create a shorter boot up animation (~4s) from the original boot up animation (~9s), helping to reduce the overall startup time. — Josh Munsee (@joshmunsee) July 23, 2022 When it rolls out, this boot-up will only benefit those consoles set to Energy Saver mode when it rolls out eventually. The new default state for the Xbox systems that is designed to be friendlier towards the planet, Energy Saver mode also uses around 20 times less power than standby mode and can be used to perform background downloads and updates.Continue Reading at GameSpot
