Does Zombieland: Double Tap Have an End Credits Scene?
As with many blockbuster movies these days, Zombieland fans are probably wondering if they should stick around for any mid- or post-credits scenes in the new sequel. The answer is yes, you should hang around after the credits.
Fortunately, the sequel's end credits scene is pretty hard to miss, as it appears shortly after the credits begin rolling and serves as a fairly substantial coda to the movie. As it turns out, part of this scene was already revealed in the trailers.
So there you have it. Don't bother rushing out of the theater after the movie ends (unless you're really racing to make it to the bathroom). There's more undead fun for the having.
Fans of the original Zombieland should definitely make a point of checking out the sequel. IGN reviewer Simon Thompson said, "Zombieland: Double Tap is a riot, and a lot of that is due to Zoey Deutch and her character, Madison. While it doesn’t quite achieve classic status in its own right, when it comes to sequels that do the original film justice, it is up there. It’s worth the wait, your time and your money."
NBA 2K20 Is September 2019’s Best-Selling Game
NBA 2K20 is the best-selling game of September 2019, immediately becoming the best-selling game of 2019. NBA 2K20 also marked the best launch month sales for any sports game in history. A distinction previously held by NBA 2K19.

Nintendo Switch Sales Surpass 15 Million in North America
The Nintendo Switch has surpassed 15 million sales in North America, Nintendo announced today. In 2019 alone Switch sales jumped more than 20%, signaling the strength of Nintendo’s handheld console.
In a press release sent out today, Nintendo announced that both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch Lite have combined to sell over 15 million units in North America since the console was released in 2017. The strong 2019 sales were likely a combination of sales from the Switch Lite, a new Switch model with a better battery, and continued strength of the system in general.
Nintendo also announced that, to date, 14 Nintendo Switch games have sold over a million units, and four sold more than six million: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Netflix Reveals Its Most Popular Shows and Movies of the Year
Netflix has released a list of its most-watched TV shows and movies during a Q3 investor earnings report (via Engadget) for 2019. For reference, the streaming giant's Q3 begins on the first day of July and ends on the last day of September.
Netflix rarely reveals its viewing data, unless a show or movie is a big success, like last year's Bird Box, which accumulated over 80 million views worldwide. On the movie front, Bird Box is still king, but the rest of the list contains a few films you've (probably) never heard of.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Will Have a Battle Pass Instead of Loot Boxes
Activision and Infinity Ward are doubling down on their commitment to not have loot boxes in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the announcement that it will instead feature a battle pass. The new system is almost identical to other battle pass systems found in games like Fortnite.

The news comes after Infinity Ward announced the studio is not developing a loot box system for Modern Warfare despite rumors and leaks suggesting otherwise.
Melissa McCarthy’s New Movie No Longer Getting Theatrical Release
Melissa McCarthy's new movie Superintelligence will no longer be getting a December theatrical release date, as it moves to stream exclusively on HBO Max next year.
HBO made the announcement on Thursday in a press release about two months before the film's planned theatrical release. It will now debut with the launch of HBO Max in spring 2020.
The movie features McCarthy as an average person who has a "superintelligence" take over her life through her electronic devices with greater plans to take over the world. Bobby Cannavale, Brian Tyree Henry, Jean Smart and James Corden also star in the film.
“We used the A.I. from Superintelligence to look at every single platform in the world, and then used its super knowledge and big artificial brain-like thing to determine that HBO Max was the right home for our film,” said McCarthy and the film's director and producer Ben Falcone in a press release.

Fortnite is Back…But It Never Really Went Anywhere
Fortnite is back for another round with Chapter 2, which launched (again) worldwide yesterday.

The internet went into a frenzy this past Sunday, with players and parents panicking after not knowing what happened to it. Many were worried about the cosmetic items they had purchased, as well as the status of their in-game currency known as V-Bucks.
