To date, only 11 movies have at one point been the highest-grossing movie of all-time, three of which hail from the same director: Steven Spielberg.

1975’s Jaws briefly held the record before Star Wars came along, then 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial topped the later-renamed A New Hope. But Spielberg outdid himself, and everyone else, with 1993’s Jurassic Park. The Oscar winner remains his top-grossing movie (not adjusted for inflation), having made over $1 billion worldwide, including $517,642 this past weekend. In fact, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Jurassic Park was the number one movie at the box office for the June 19-21 weekend.

Kevin James playing a Neo-Nazi ain’t got nothing on the Dilophosaurus:

Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park topped the chart with an estimated $517,642 from 230 locations in its 1,411th weekend… The vast majority of the theaters reporting grosses were drive-ins, many of which have been able to remain open, and in other instances, reopen relatively quickly.

In second place behind Jurassic Park? Spielberg’s Jaws, which “earned an estimated $516,366 from 187 locations in its 2,349th weekend,” with E.T. and Raiders of the Lost Ark also in the top 20. This was the fourth time Jurassic Park has been number one at the box office (it held that spot for three weekends in 1993) and at least the third time it’s appeared on the chart in the past 27 years, including a 2013 re-release.

If COVID-19 cases continue to surge, drive-in theaters will get desperate for more Spielberg and start showing War Horse. That’s reason enough to find a vaccine.

Tekashi 69 got his first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 yesterday when “Trollz” debuted atop the chart. Naturally, he took to Instagram to celebrate the feat, and he used his platform to accuse Billboard, Apple Music, and Spotify of trying to prevent him from reaching his goal.

In a celebratory video, Tekashi and a friend pop bottles of champagne and spray them all over the room. Addressing the camera, he yells, “I can’t be stopped, n****! Didn’t I tell you?” He also thanked his fans for helping him to “beat the industry.” He reiterates some of what he said in the video in the written description. He accuses Billboard, Apple Music, and Spotify of trying to “blackball” him and “Trollz,” saying that the streaming platforms “didn’t give us any major playlisting.” He also says that he “went up against the music industry and won.”

Tekashi wrote, “#1 ON @billboard YOU CANT STOP ME. YOU CANT BLACKBALL ME. DIDNT I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eminem has spent a good portion of this year and last celebrating the 20-year anniversaries of The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP, which came out in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Em has commemorated the albums by sharing remastered videos, releasing expanded editions, dropping new merch, and more. Eminem fans know that 2020 is also the anniversary of another seminal work from the rapper: A few days ago marked the tenth anniversary of Eminem’s 2020 album Recovery.

On June 18, the exact date of the album’s decade milestone, Em shared a 30-second teaser video that showed off famous highlights from the album (“Not Afraid,” “Love The Way You Lie,” etc.), but didn’t offer much info beyond noting, “more coming Monday!” Well, Monday has come and gone, and last night, Eminem revealed his plan: He has released a run of anniversary merch, which is only available for an extremely limited time.

The merch went up for sale at 6 p.m. ET last night, and will only be available until 6 p.m. ET today. Available are two different long-sleeve t-shirts: A white one themed after “Not Afraid” and a black one with Recovery imagery, Both of them have Eminem’s name running the length of the right sleeve.

Read our recent look back at Recovery here.

Before this past weekend’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Trump administration boasted that they had received over one million tickets to attend the event. Yet only 6,200 people flocked into the BOK Center, which, for reference’s sake, singer Pink thinks she “sold that same place out in five minutes.” What happened? The K-pop stans happened. Music’s most passionate fanbase, as well as thousands of TikTok users, “claimed to have registered potentially hundreds of thousands of tickets for Mr. Donald Trump’s campaign rally as a prank,” according to the New York Times. We thank you for service.

The prank was heralded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who tweeted, “You just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID,” as well as Stephen Colbert. The Late Show host dedicated a portion of Monday’s episode to the rally (“Doesn’t say great things when there are fewer people in your crowd than have credibly accused you of sexual assault”), including a message for the BTS and Blackpink listeners out there. “I just want to say to K-pop fans, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart,” he said.
