Dunkirk Compared to All of Nolan’s Box Office Openings
Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk debuted at the top of the box office this weekend, earning an estimated $50.5 million. Surpassing the debut of Nolan's last film, Interstellar, Dunkirk is one of the director's strongest debuts ever, but how exactly does it compare to the rest of his filmography?
Take a look at the chart below to see how Dunkirk's opening weekend stacks up to the debuts of Nolan's three Batman films, which the director is remastering in 4K, as well as all of his original movies, including Inception, Memento, and more. Numbers via Box Office Mojo.

Dying Light to Receive 10 Free DLC Drops in the Next Year
Techland has announced Dying Light will be getting 10 pieces of original new content during the next 12 months.
All the DLC will be free across all platforms, and will include new enemies, new events, new mysteries, "and more."
A new enemy content drop will be coming soon, "as a tiny taste" of what's to come.
Dying Light released in early 2015, but the developer says the game still has 500,000 average weekly players. Techland previously said it would be supporting the game until the end of 2016, but that has clearly been extended even further.
Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Dated for Switch
It looks like Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition will be coming on September 12.
The European Switch shop currently lists the game in the "Coming Soon" section with the release date.
However, no official comment has been made. A demo for the game was briefly available earlier today, but it has now been removed. No date or demo is listed on the US eShop at time of writing.
Until today, Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition was simply listed for 2017. We'll be sure to update you when we learn more.
The new edition of the 2D platformer for Switch was announced in January this year, and there will be new, multiplayer focused content included in the package.
The X-Men Face ‘Game-Changing Consequences’ in Marvel Legacy
On the final day of Comic-Con International, Marvel’s ResurrXion panel displayed the mutant ability to be light on new and exciting details about upcoming stories. However, Marc Guggenheim did drop a few hints about the "Mojo Worldwide" crossover that will bring the X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold teams together for the first time since their collective relaunches.
Given Guggenheim and co-writer Cullen Bunn’s obvious love of the classic X-Men stories, it seems appropriate that "Mojo Worldwide" will actually begin with the two teams playing softball. That's a tradition that dates back to the Chris Claremont Uncanny X-Men era. From there, Mojo comes to Earth and pits the X-Men against their greatest foes in a desperate bid for ratings. That’s got to be a metaphor for comics in general.
