Earlier this week on an earnings call, the CEO of AMC said admissions revenues for October 2021 are now almost 90% of what they were in October 2019.Cinemark, too, has revealed it had a good October \u2014 with box office receipts more than double what they were in May.\u00a0\u2018Rust\u2019 Shooting\u00a0Police haven\u2019t yet brought any charges in the accidental on-set shooting that killed one and injured another.\u00a0Since the shooting, much has been made of the fact that Assistant director David Halls had been fired from previous film sets for allegedly disregarding safety, but his attorney says this is irrelevant because it wasn\u2019t Halls\u2019 job to check guns.\u00a0The lawyer for set armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed (24) says she\u2019s being framed, claiming it was sabotage and the scene of the shooting was tampered with before police arrived.\u00a0The head electrician on the set filed a suit against Alec Baldwin, who in addition to acting in the film was also the executive producer. He claims Baldwin created unsafe conditions by hiring an \u201cinsufficient number of crew.\u201d\u00a0Following the shooting, Baldwin is now calling for police officers to be on \u201cevery film or TV set that uses guns\u201d in order to \u201cmonitor weapons safety.\u201dTravis Scott Concert TragedyFollowing the concert tragedy which left nine people dead, the Houston Fire Chief is publicly saying rapper Travis Scott should have stopped the show before he did. The police chief has now revealed he met with Scott and his team before the concert and shared concerns over the crowd size and potential for chaos. Outside experts are saying the show did not have nearly enough security personnel.\u00a0Houston PD was, in part, responsible for providing crowd control, leading some, like the Harris County Judge, to call for an outside, independent organization to head up the investigation into the incident.\u00a0Several lawsuits have already been filed against Scott, the venue, and promoter Live Nation.\u00a0Remember: There were 50,000 people at the festival. If enough of them sue, it could become a class action suit, which has legal experts saying the costs will be \u201castronomical\u201d if that happens.Ramil Nasibulin\/BELTA\/TASS EDITORIAL USE ONLY\/Contributor via Getty Images3) Belarus Migrant Crisis IntensifiesThe Topline: Thousands of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have set up camp between the border of Poland and Belarus, causing a humanitarian crisis and escalating tensions between Belarus and the European Union.\u00a0Quote Of The Day: \u201cThis is part of the inhuman and really gangster-style approach of the Lukashenko regime that he is lying to people, he is misusing people, misleading them, and bringing them to Belarus under the false promise of having easy entry into the EU.\u201d\u2013Peter Stano, lead spokesperson for external affairs of the E.U.The CrisisThe situation is due in part to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko escalating his strategy of funneling migrants from the Middle East toward Poland, potentially in an effort to provoke a confrontation at Poland\u2019s border.The European Union says Lukashenko is doing this because of sanctions placed on Belarus by the EU due to Lukashenko\u2019s 2020 election, as well as an incident from earlier this year when the president forced a civilian plane with a dissident journalist on board to land in the Belarusian capital of Minsk so he could be arrested.\u00a0The migrants were more dispersed at first, but due to Lukashenko\u2019s actions, they\u2019ve all been relocated to a small stretch of the border near the village of Ku\u017anica.\u00a0Lukashenko is refuting the EU\u2019s claims and says these people came to Belarus lawfully, but Polish government social media accounts have shown Belarusian military guiding hundreds towards Poland.\u00a0HistoryEarlier this year, Poland, Latvia, and Lithuania had an influx of migrants and the EU sent authorities to assist Lithuania and Latvia. Poland has taken strict actions against migrants and some human rights organizations have claimed they aren\u2019t taking in applications for asylum.RussiaBelarus is a close Russian ally and former member of the Soviet republic. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Lukashenko spoke on Tuesday about the crisis and focused on the actions of Poland.\u00a0A Kremlin spokesperson earlier on Tuesday said, \u201c\u2026the most important thing is the health of those people. They demand asylum in Poland. We are watching this very closely.\u201dThe Polish Prime Minister has pointed to Putin as the \u201cmastermind\u201d of the assault.The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
