Several blockbuster sequels cast a spell on theater audiences in 2025, and you won’t be surprised to learn that the top 15 money-making films of the year include Zootopia 2,Jurassic World: Rebirth, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, The Conjuring: Last Rites, Captain America: Brave New World and Wicked: For Good—which each earned over $440 million worldwide.
And live action adaptations of popular franchises also came in hot, with Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and Warner Bros.’ A Minecraft Movie becoming the third- and fourth-highest grossing movies of the year, as they each took in about $1 billion at the box office.
But the sequel that claimed the No. 1 global spot is a flick that many Americans haven’t yet seen, considering it made just $23 million in the U.S.
So, which one took the crown as the highest-grossing movie of 2025? That would be Ne Zha 2, a Chinese animated film that raked about $2.2 billion worldwide (that’s nearly double the runner-up, Zootopia 2, which banked about $1.3 billion).

As fate would have it, both of those results came to fruition, as the Ravens and Browns overcame underdog status to win their games and set up a winner-take-all showdown for the AFC North between Baltimore and Pittsburgh in Week 18. At DraftKings, the Ravens opened as 3-point road favorites against the Steelers.
Going into Week 17, Pittsburgh held commanding -1400 odds to win the division compared to +800 for the Ravens. DraftKings reports that in the last week, 87% of handle came in on the Ravens for the AFC North, while BetMGM said that it received 83% of money backing Baltimore in the same time period, though the Ravens are still its smallest liability for the division overall.
It’s been quite the odyssey for the Ravens to get to this point. After entering the season as the odds-on favorites, they briefly relinquished favorite status to Pittsburgh ahead of Week 7, before returning to the top of the odds board for several weeks. Then, the Steelers’ head-to-head win over Baltimore in Week 14 propelled them ahead until their loss to Cleveland.
With the division on the line, the Ravens opened at -170 on the moneyline. Despite some injury concerns surrounding Lamar Jackson, bookmakers are comfortable keeping Baltimore as a field-goal favorite.
“We don’t feel there is much difference between [backup QB Tyler] Huntley and this version of Jackson, what appears to be an injured version of Jackson,” John Murray, vice president of the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas, told ESPN. “The Ravens offense looked as good as ever on Saturday, Huntley knows the offense well and Lamar hasn’t been right all season. Don’t see it making much of a difference.”
Joey Feazel, head of football at Caesars Sportsbook, sees a bit more contrast between Jackson and Huntley, saying that he anticipates the game moving closer to a pick ’em should the former be ruled out.
Ravens-Steelers won’t be the only game contested for a division title next week.
Entering Week 11, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were -1200 to win the NFC South, while the Carolina Panthers were +1200 — in Week 18, the two teams will face off for the division. The Bucs opened as 3.5-point home favorites for the showdown with the Panthers, according to DraftKings odds.
The matchup is the culmination of opposing trends for the division rivals. Tampa Bay has failed to cover the spread in eight consecutive games, the longest active ATS losing streak in the NFL and the longest in franchise history, per ESPN Research. Meanwhile, Carolina has come all the way back from a long of +2500 to win the NFC South in Week 5.
In another close division race, if the San Francisco 49ers defeat the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football, they will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18 for the NFC West title and the conference’s No. 1 seed.
NFL Odds & Ends
Despite lackluster matchups not shown on traditional TV outlets, the NFL topped the NBA on Christmas Day in terms of betting interest. At Caesars Sportsbook, the showcase NBA matchups only attracted close to half the amount of money that was bet on the least-bet NFL game between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders. “The NFL is still the king at the end of the day, as the three low-stakes NFL games easily surpassed the handle of all of the NBA games,” Feazel said.
Derrick Henry was DraftKings’ most-bet player to score 2+ touchdowns during Saturday’s two-game slate … he scored four in the Ravens’ huge win over the Packers.
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase stated his goal openly heading into Week 17. “I think the biggest thing on the list is to score another touchdown … I think I’ve been overdue since Week 7,” Chase told reporters last week. Bettors at DraftKings, who were listening, were rewarded. More money was bet on Chase to score a touchdown on Sunday than on any other player at DraftKings. He caught two touchdowns in the Bengals’ 37-14 rout of the Arizona Cardinals.
With their thrilling win over the Buffalo Bills, the Philadelphia Eagles (+3.5) have now won six straight games outright as an underdog including the playoffs, tied for the longest such streak since 2010, according to ESPN Research.
Season-win totals on the line in Week 18 [Totals based on BetMGM openers]
Yesterday, Ubisoft confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege had been compromised and that it had shut down the game’s servers and marketplace while it resolved the issue. The hackers managed to gain control over a significant chunk of the game’s systems, including the ability to ban and unban users, sending custom messages to ban ticker, unlocking all in-game items, and granting every player 2 billion R6 Credits and Renown.
Ubisoft sells R6 credits in its store, pricing 15,000 of them at $99.99. That means the actual cash value of 2 billion R6 credits is about $13.33 million.
Ubisoft made it clear that nobody would be punished for spending any credits they received. But, any transactions made after 11:ooAM UTC on Saturday (6AM ET) will be rolled back to avoid abuse. At the time of this writing, service had yet to be restored. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment and will update if and when they respond.
Car Crashes Into Food Influencers NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood While They’re in Restaurant
Money doesn’t grow on trees—but it does come from likes.
This year, #RichTok exploded on social media with content creators like Becca Bloom documenting their caviar-coated and Van Cleef-adorned lifestyles for all to see online.
Back in September, makeup influencer Mikayla Nogueira showed off her massive designer shopping haul, saying on TikTok she “completely blacked out” while buying dozens of luxury items—including bags, heels, sneakers, jewelry and clothing from Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Miu Miu and more—totaling an estimated $186,000.
And when beauty influencer Jaclyn Hill recently asked why her videos weren’t getting the same engagement as usual, her followers were brutally honest: It’s about the money, honey.
“We’re tired of watching influencers rub their wealth in our faces,” one person commented on her Dec. 4 video, while another noted, “I can’t connect to a $10,000 purse or shoe haul when $10,000 would pay off all my loans and change my life.”

The second TGL season tees off Sunday with a rematch of last year’s SoFi Cup finals, in which Atlanta Drive GC defeated New York Golf Club in a pair of one-point matches on the final hole to capture the inaugural title in the tech-infused indoor golf league.
The six team rosters remain unchanged from the inaugural season, although 15-time major champion Tiger Woods and two-time PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas won’t compete, at least at the start of the TGL season, while they continue to recover from back surgeries.
Woods, who turns 50 on Dec. 30, is expected to attend Jupiter Links GC matches and wear a microphone as he cuts up with teammates and competitors. All of the matches will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and/or ESPN+.
Last season, Jupiter Links GC and Rory McIlroy‘s Boston Common Golf were the only teams not to make the playoffs. In fact, those teams combined to win only one of 10 matches.
“I think all of us are ready to not suck anymore,” said Tom Kim, a member of Jupiter Links GC. “We’re ready to win, especially for a guy who’s not used to losing as much. And he’s on our butts to get into the playoffs.”
So what is new in the six-team league that will play five matches each in a regular season that starts Sunday and ends March 3?
Larger GreenZone putting green
There’s a bigger and badder GreenZone putting surface, which is 38% larger than last season, according to TGL. It increased from 3,800 square feet to 5,270 and now has 12 hole locations (there were seven previously).
TGL said 608 actuators will be used to morph the putting surface and two larger full swing virtual greens under the turf are now 1,250 square feet, which is 60 square feet larger than last season.
“Obviously, the green is almost double the size,” said 2023 U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark, a member of The Bay Golf Club. “I’ve heard that it’ll be easier to read and a little more consistent, which I think is awesome for any of us, but especially guys that pride themselves on being good putters.”
The upper tier of the green has fixed topography and doesn’t move, according to Andrew Macaulay, chief technology officer at TMRW Sports. The large knoll in the middle of the upper tier was dropped by about 1½ feet to give in-arena fans a better view of the action. A small bunker was also removed to increase the putting surface.
“We’ve made the two other bunkers bigger and riveted edges around them, so a much nicer-looking and easier transition from sand to fairway around them,” Macaulay said.
Another big change is that turf was laid down grain all the way toward the middle, eliminating tricky into-the-grain shots that perplexed players last season. Long iron shots on par-5 holes that might have stopped last season are now more likely to bounce on the green and toward the hole.
“Now, every chip’s down grain, which I think will create more excitement for the viewership, because we’ll be able to do anything we want with a golf ball,” Clark said.
Signature holes for every team
Among several new holes from golf course architects Gil Hanse, Beau Welling Design, Pizá Golf and Nicklaus Design are six that have been updated to become signature holes for each of the teams.
For instance, The Bay Golf Club’s “Bay Breaker” hole features towering redwoods and fog. Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline can be seen in the distance. Macaulay said the hole was inspired by Pebble Beach Golf Links, TPC Harding Park and Lincoln Park golf courses in the Bay area.
“Every team has their own hole, and, of course, any given match between two teams, those two holes will be played,” Macaulay said. “It’s an advantage for the team because they get to play their hole every single match, whereas their opponent, during the regular season, only gets to play it when they’re playing against The Bay, for example.”
Beyond the signature holes, there are a number of other new holes that were added.
Hanse’s first hole for TGL is a par-5 called “Stone & Steeple,” which has Sahara-style cross bunkers off the tee and a stone wall down the left side that separates the playing area from a graveyard next to a New England-style church.
“Players must be accurate with their approaches — the church provides a grim reminder that any shots hit too far left are not long for this world,” the TGL description said.
A par-4 hole called “Stinger” was inspired by Tiger’s signature stinger shots. A natural rock formation encourages golfers to hit stinger shots off the tee, no higher than 50 feet or so.
“Those brave and skillful enough to take it on successfully will be rewarded with a boost of extra roll beyond 260 yards into position A on this double-dogleg hole,” the TGL description said. “There is an alternative option: a short, mid-to-high draw off the tee to skirt the rock formation. But where’s the fun in that?”
A new par-3 hole takes its name from the natural limestone sinkholes of the Yucatán Peninsula, which were sacred to Mayans.
“We can still have the traditional holes, but we can have some holes that you would see in a video game,” said Atlanta Drive GC member Billy Horschel. “Because in some sort [of way], this is a video game that we’re playing. We’re playing a high-tech video game in a sense.”
New graphics and technology
TGL is promoting its new shot comparison graphics, which will use Virtual Eye technology to track golfers’ shots on fairways and greens. The league said “data-rich, augmented-reality graphics overlaid on the green will also illustrate shot quality at pivotal moments by comparing to team averages and the best approach ever on that hole.”
“[L]ive shot tracing will track balls in flight before they hit TGL’s massive screen, the largest simulator in all of golf,” TGL said in a news release.
Additionally, SoFi Center now has 79 cameras to capture every angle of a match, “including the return of the award-winning SmartPin Cam, which provides live, 360-degree views from the perspective of the pin flag” and “new camera angles, such as a reverse shot from a fairway back to the tee or hovering perspective above the green.”
OpenAI is hiring a Head of Preparedness. Or, in other words, someone whose primary job is to think about all the ways AI could go horribly, horribly wrong. In a post on X, Sam Altman announced the position by acknowledging that the rapid improvement of AI models poses “some real challenges.” The post goes on to specifically call out the potential impact on people’s mental health and the dangers of AI-powered cybersecurity weapons.
The job listing says the person in the role would be responsible for:
“Tracking and preparing for frontier capabilities that create new risks of severe harm. You will be the directly responsible leader for building and coordinating capability evaluations, threat models, and mitigations that form a coherent, rigorous, and operationally scalable safety pipeline.”
Altman also says that, looking forward, this person would be responsible for executing the company’s “preparedness framework,” securing AI models for the release of “biological capabilities,” and even setting guardrails for self-improving systems. He also states that it will be a “stressful job,” which seems like an understatement.
In addition to Sean and Jayden, Federline is also dad to daughter Kori Madison Federline, 23, and son Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline, 21, with ex Shar Jackson, as well as daughters Jordan Kay Federline, 14, and Peyton Marie Federline, 11, with wife Victoria Prince.
Jayden has called his mom his inspiration, explaining in 2022 that he didn’t quite realize the extent of her fame till he saw the sort of crowd she attracted as a performer.
“There was this TV and it just showed all these people, and it showed her singing and dancing on the stage, and when I saw that I was like ‘Wow, that is a lot of people,'” he recalled to the Daily Mail. “And I came to the realization of how famous she was and how successful she is as a person and that inspired me.”
