Jumanji, Insidious 4 Topple Last Jedi at Box Office
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle climbed to first place at the domestic box office in its third weekend, dethroning Star Wars: The Last Jedi with an estimated $36 million.
Director Jake Kasdan's fantasy action film saw a modest 28 percent drop in its performance compared to last weekend, making for a domestic total that now amounts to $244.4 million.
The big new release of the weekend, Insidious: The Last Key, placed second in its debut. The Adam Robitel-directed horror film, which serves as the fourth entry in the Insidious series, earned an estimated $29.3 million, putting it ahead of Insidious: Chapter 3's $22.7 million debut, but short of Chapter 2's $40.3 million opening haul.
The Big Bang Theory: Season 12 Is Likely Its Last
The upcoming twelfth season of The Big Bang Theory may be its last, while Young Sheldon has officially been renewed for Season 2.
While speaking at the Television Critics Association winter press tour (via TVLine), The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki revealed the cast and crew feel Season 12 would be a suitable time to wrap up the hit comedy show. However, nothing's officially confirmed just yet.
"The only manner in which the cast has discussed wrapping
has been that we're all going to be very sad when that day comes," Galecki said. "But I think at this point everyone's very comfortable with 12 seasons being a good time to go home and see our families."

What Excited Hemsworth About JJ’s Star Trek 4 Pitch
While Star Trek: Discovery is boldly hurtling through its freshman season on CBS All Access, the franchise's big screen future is a little more nebulous.
Back in July 2016, days before Star Trek Beyond was released, Paramount, Bad Robot and Skydance announced that they were at work on Star Trek 4, which would feature Chris Pine's Captain James T. Kirk somehow crossing paths with his long-dead father, George (Chris Hemsworth), who heroically sacrificed himself aboard the USS Kelvin on the day Jim was born. The pitch was apparently cooked up by J.J. Abrams, director of the 2009 reboot and its 2013 sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness, and despite having no script, the idea was seemingly impressive enough to get the studio and Hemsworth on board.
