NEW YORK (AP) — “Wonka” debuted with $39 million in box office sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters over the weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday. That made it a strong start for the Timothée Chalamet -starring Willy Wonka musical that underscored the young star’s draw.Musicals have been tough sells in theaters in recent years, so much so that Warner Bros. downplayed the song and dance elements of “Wonka” in trailers. Instead, the studio emphasized Chalamet, the 27-year-old actor who, with “Wonka,” notched his second No. 1 movie following 2021’s “Dune.” The earlier film recorded a $41 million opening.While “Dune” was a sprawling and star-studded sci-fi adventure, “Wonka” relies chiefly on Chalamet’s charisma.“Wonka,” which cost about $125 million to produce and played at 4,203 locations, was also the first big Hollywood release to launch following the end of the SAG-AFTRA actors’ strike. Chalamet hosted “Saturday Night Live” just days after the strike ended. In h...IRS warns of January deadline for some taxpayers

By filing a payment on or before the January date they can avoid an added fee, which might come in the form of a tax bill.For most people, taxes are withheld from paychecks during the year automatically, but people who are self-employed or independent contractors are responsible for sending their own tax payments each quarter to the IRS during the year.Jan. 16 marks the close of the fourth quarter when it comes to tax payments. Inflation or deflation? These 12 things are actually getting cheaper The IRS says people who owed last year – whether it was for a failure to increase tax withholding, income from non-wage sources like dividends or complex situations – often find themselves in a similar situation at the end of the following year.Most income is taxable...Latest news
