The NYT’s second installment brought us the backstory of Foxconn worker Lai Xiaodong leading up to his death at a factory explosion in Chengdu.

The CEO of AMC Theaters heaped blame on recent failures (like this summer’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and Baywatch) for what was a slow quarter at the U.S. box office, especially for the world’s largest theater chain. Baywatch performed admirably worldwide with $173 million but was a domestic flop earning just $58 million against a $69 million budget. King Arthur, meanwhile, was a worldwide disaster, earning just $143.4 million globally despite costing $175 million to make....

Apple’s announcement earlier this week that senior vice president of Retail Angela Ahrendts will be departing from the company in April sent a wave of concern through the industry. Apple’s press release left details of Ahrendts’ departure and promotion of longtime Apple veteran Deirdre O’Brien open to interpretation, causing many to speculate around the terms of her exit and future plans after leaving Apple. As dust settles following the surprise announcement, indications point to an amicable departure and change of pace ahead for the longtime executive....

According to one of our readers, BAC Credomatic’s last update now shows the app supports the Apple Wallet. This usually is the first indicator that a bank is readying Apple Pay launch. For example, Brazilian fintech Nubank started supporting the Wallet a few months before releasing Apple Pay functionality this week. In our last report, one of our readers said he was already testing Apple Pay with a BAC Credomatic card through TestFlight....

The late author Vince Flynn published 13 novels about terrorist-battling CIA agent Mitch Rapp between 1999 and 2012. In 2010, Flynn went back in time to explore Rapp’s origins with the prequel novel American Assassin. CBS Films at one time planned to make a movie out of American Assassin with Chris Hemsworth in the lead role, and even offered the Thor star $10 million for the privilege. Ultimately Hemsworth passed on the money and the opportunity, and the film went forward with the much-younger Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien in the lead....

As if Apple’s management wasn’t under enough pressure from the stock falling below $100 yesterday, two firms of analysts have said that the company was either over-optimistic in its iPhone sales expectations or has even been guilty of “deliberately overstating underlying trends.” Business Insider quotes excerpts from investor notes from Pacific Crest and UBS, each suggesting that Apple has over-estimated iPhone demand. Both point to apparent contradictions between Apple’s predictions of continued growth and supply-chain reports of reduced orders....

A few years ago, Android started suggesting which infrequently used apps should be uninstalled to free up space on a device. That was good for users but also meant making a choice to remove an app they might have rather stayed where it was. And it also meant developers faced higher uninstalls, possibly only because the user’s hardware lacked enough storage space. This is particularly a problem on lower to mid-range Android phones....

Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for Ant-Man and The Wasp. — The mid-credits scene for Ant-Man and The Wasp should have been the film’s actual ending. Over the last ten years, Marvel Studios has trained most audience members to wait through the credits of their films to catch clues on what is coming next. Some of these are just fun gags, but in the case of Ant-Man and The Wasp, it serves as a major development for the events of the film and the main characters....

The trailer for Ant-Man & the Wasp is an absolute visual delight. Marvel released the trailer only days after the theatrical release of Avengers: Infinity War, the blockbuster hit that broke all weekend records. It was a smart move on Marvel’s part; after the darkness of Infinity Way, they decided to give viewers a sunbeam of humor and delight. But one specific scene in the trailer stands out above the rest....

American Horror Story: Murder House presented audiences with a haunted house, violent murders, and vengeful ghosts, taking its inspiration from sordid tales from across the United States.

It’s rare that you find a spin-off series that matches the quality and storytelling ability of its parent show, but Angel is the rare spin-off that, at times, managed to even surpass Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even though the end of Angel recently passed its 15 year mark, it’s a supernatural show that has stood the test of time and will have its fans forever. It may even gain some new ones as well....

The shrinking structure prominently featured in several Ant-Man & The Wasp trailers and TV spots is apparently Hank Pym’s newest office building, as revealed by Marvel Studios’ production designer Shepherd Frankel. Helmed by Peyton Reed, the forthcoming sequel will see the return of Paul Rudd’s shrinking hero and the debut of Marvel’s first female co-headlining superhero in Evangeline Lily’s The Wasp. But, while the two takes on the lead roles in the movie, Michael Douglas’ Pym’s is also expected to play a major role in the narrative....

Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp has subtly explained how Daredevil Season 3 could connect to the wider MCU. There have only ever been the loosest ties between the popular Marvel Netflix shows and the movies. At the moment, the increasing gulf between the Marvel TV and movie divisions is generating real frustration among viewers, who had previously bought into the idea of “It’s all connected”. It’s important to realize, though, that the Marvel Netflix shows are currently running several years behind the movies....

There’s slow-burn horror and then there’s AMC’s new series The Terror, which makes the most of its chilly, sinister atmosphere to deliver a tense tale of survival in extreme conditions. The series, an adaptation of the novel of the same name from author Dan Simmons, is a fictionalized account of the doomed mid-19th century arctic expedition carried out by the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, seems to anticipate a flurry of questions from the audience unfamiliar with either the actual expedition or the novel, and as such leaves things tantalizingly ambiguous early on....
