#LondonPeachy #DiggerMovie #MovietimeInManhattan @WBD Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures and The Film and TV Charity Announce the Royal Film Performance™ of DIGGER

Warner Bros. Pictures, Legendary Pictures and the Film and TV Charity announced today the Royal Film Performance™ of DIGGER. The event, which will be the World Premiere of the film, will take place in London’s Leicester Square on 22nd September.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu returns with his original film DIGGER, starring Tom Cruise in the title role. In the film, Digger Rockwell, the most powerful man in the world, embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s saviour before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.

Starring alongside Cruise are Academy Award winner Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Academy Award nominee Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Academy Award nominee Jesse Plemons.

The World Premiere of DIGGER will be the 73rd Royal Film Performance™ delivered by the charity in its 100-year history.

The Royal Film Performance™ is the flagship fundraiser for The Film and TV Charity, an organisation that supports the tens of thousands of people working behind the scenes in the UK’s world-leading film and television industry.

DIGGER filmmakers Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Mary Parent and Tom Cruise said: “We consider it an honor and a privilege to hold the global premiere of DIGGER in service of the Film and TV Charity, which does such wonderful work for our many colleagues in the entertainment industry. DIGGER was filmed, and post-production completed, in the UK, so it is especially meaningful to return there to debut the film with audiences for the first time in the country of its making. What we were able to accomplish with this film was made possible by the level of local excellence both in front of and behind the camera, and we can’t wait to share everyone’s talents with the world.”

Marcus Ryder MBE, CEO of The Film and TV Charity, said: "For more than 80 years, the Royal Film Performance has brought together audiences and industry leaders in support of a vital cause. It celebrates the exceptional creativity and talent behind our world-leading industry while raising essential funds to support the Film and TV Charity and the incredible talented people working behind the scenes. We are delighted that DIGGER will continue this proud tradition and help us further our mission to support the UK's film, television, and cinema workforce."

Warner Bros. Pictures will release DIGGER in the UK and Ireland on 2 October 2026.

Tickets for the Royal Film Performance™ and UK Premiere Screening will go on sale from 25 August 2026 and will be available via www.filmtvcharity.org.uk

Rogers Communications and Quebecor today announced a new 12-year sublicensing agreement for French-language national NHL games, beginning with the 2026-27 season. As an official French-language NHL broadcaster, TVA Sports and TVA Sports Direct will distribute all games covered by the new agreement, with the illico+ platform joining the broadcast ecosystem.

Starting with the 2026-27 season, Quebecor will hold the French broadcasting rights for up to 350 regular season NHL games per season, including 32 Montréal Canadiens regular-season games and all Montréal Canadiens games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This includes 10 more regular-season Montréal games than under the previous agreement; six of the eight First Round series of the Stanley Cup Playoffs; three of the four Second Round series; the Conference Finals and Stanley Cup Final; and all NHL tentpole events.

"For Rogers, ensuring hockey fans have comprehensive French-language coverage of NHL games is a top priority,” said Tony Staffieri, President and CEO, Rogers. “We have had a terrific partnership with TVA Sports for many years, and we look forward to continuing to work together to deliver more NHL games to more French-speaking Quebecers and Canadians.”

“For the past 12 seasons, TVA Sports’ French-language broadcasts have connected our game with millions of passionate hockey fans across Quebec and Canada,” said Gary Bettman, Commissioner, NHL. “Our expanded partnership with Rogers and Quebecor reflects our shared commitment to serving fans, growing the game, and ensuring that hockey’s biggest moments are available to all audiences.”

MINNIE WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!


As America's most beloved holiday tradition approaches its 100th Parade, Macy's is inviting customers to join a 100-day celebration of the people, traditions, memories and moments that have made the Parade a cherished part of holidays for generations.
Macy’s Kicks Off the 100-Day Countdown to the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®

Macy’s is kicking off a 100-day countdown to the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®, a once-in-a-century milestone that has inspired timeless traditions, sparked imaginations and created unforgettable memories for decades. As the creator of this beloved holiday spectacle, and as part of the brand’s Celebrations Start at Macy’s platform, Macy’s is welcoming customers to this milestone journey to celebrate life’s biggest and smallest moments over the next 100 days as the kickoff to Thanksgiving begins.

"For 100 years, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has brought generations together through moments of wonder, connection and joy,” said Sharon Otterman, Macy’s chief marketing officer. “As we begin the 100-day countdown to our historic 100th Parade, we're inviting customers to be part of the celebration, not just on Thanksgiving morning, but throughout the season. Over the next 100 days, we'll honor the memories, traditions and experiences that have made the Parade a beloved part of the holidays while creating new moments of magic for the next generation.”

The Journey Begins

In the weeks leading up to the 100th Parade, Macy’s invites fans of all ages to join in the magic with exclusive product collaborations, exciting balloon and float announcements and unforgettable experiences honoring the beloved holiday tradition’s centennial celebration. Visit macys.com/parade to stay up to date on Macy’s Parade news, events and opportunities to join the celebration.

Celebrating 100 Years of Culture

To commemorate a century of lasting memories, the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will feature a record-breaking lineup of 100 inflatable elements. This larger-than-life lineup will include the brand-new Disney’s Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey and a reimagined iteration of Underdog, whose long-awaited return to the New York City skyline marks his first flight since 1984.

Favorite characters from Parades past – including Bullwinkle J. Moose, Olive Oyl, Popeye, Swee’Pea and Sonic the Hedgehog – will make a triumphant return to the streets of New York City aboard Macy’s All-Stars float, a star-studded gathering of inflatable and costumed characters that span a century of Parade history.

These legendary Parade characters will be joined by a new float honoring Tony Sarg, the creative genius behind the Parade's signature elements. Tony Sarg’s Amazing Marionettes will bring the spirit of the Parade's early years to the centennial march, featuring re-creations of Sarg's original characters and illustrations alongside a puppet likeness of the artist himself, celebrating the imagination and innovation that helped shape the spectacle audiences know and love today.

Also joining the 100th festivities is Felix the Cat, who returns to Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade after debuting a new iteration in the 90th Macy’s Parade in 2016. In 1927, Felix the Cat became the first-ever character balloon to appear in the Parade, carried along the route on sticks by volunteers before the introduction of helium-filled balloons the following year. His return honors the character who helped launch one of the Parade's most enduring elements.

The 100th Parade will also welcome newcomers Billie Brightpaw, Macy’s Parade’s newest companion and natural-born adventurer, and Tom Jr., the son of the iconic Tom Turkey, commemorating a century of Parade magic, while keeping an eye on the future and for celebrations to come.

Bringing the excitement of the centennial celebration to customers nationwide, select Macy's stores will debut special window displays featuring beloved character balloons, historic imagery and fascinating fun facts that honor 100 years of Parade magic. Additionally, Macy’s Herald Square flagship will feature a celebratory Countdown Clock counting the days until Thanksgiving and the 100th Parade.

Welcome Home, Blue Hippopotamus

In the early years of Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, organizers released balloons at the end, rewarding customers who returned found balloons to Macy's for a prize. Following the 1931 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, every balloon was accounted for except the Blue Hippopotamus, who was last seen soaring beyond the Empire State Building.

This year, the Blue Hippopotamus will make a triumphant return to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2026 in celebration of the 100th Parade. Additional participation details will be shared in the coming weeks.

Exclusive Partnerships and Product

As the march to the 100th Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade begins, Macy’s creates celebration beyond the route with an exclusive collection of limited-edition keepsakes and must-have brand collaborations. Inspired by a century of iconic moments, the assortment lets customers take a piece of the Parade home.

#PatrioticPeachy @FlagsofValorSTL 7,620 American Flags to Blanket St. Louis' Art Hill for 25th Anniversary of 9/11

For nine days this September, 7,620 full-size American flags will cover Art Hill in St. Louis' Forest Park — one of the largest 9/11 memorials in the country, and one staged just once every five years. This year's installation marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, and for the first time, it also honors service members killed this year during Operation Epic Fury.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, 7,620 American flags will transform St. Louis' Art Hill into a powerful tribute.

Thousands of American flags cover Art Hill in Forest Park during the 2021 Flags of Valor St. Louis memorial. Presented by America’s Heartland Remembers, the breathtaking display honors the lives lost on September 11 and the U.S. service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in the War on Terror. Flags of Valor returns September 5–13, 2026, for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.



Flags of Valor STL, presented by the nonprofit America's Heartland Remembers, is free and open to the public Sept. 5-13. More than 1,200 volunteers will build the memorial by hand.

Together, the field of flags and six large photo memorials will honor all 2,977 people killed on Sept. 11, 2001. Thousands of additional flags recognize U.S. service members who died in the War on Terror, including 18 lost in 2026 during Operation Epic Fury. Flags for 412 first responders will encircle the Grand Basin at the foot of Art Hill, each bearing its own photograph and custom dog tag with the responder's name, department and date of death.

"An entire generation has grown up without firsthand memories of Sept. 11," said Rick Randall, founder of America's Heartland Remembers. "These 7,620 flags turn numbers into names, faces and stories. Remembrance is not passive. It is a promise to the fallen, their families and future generations."

"Flags of Valor is a breathtaking and dignified living memorial honoring the thousands of America's fallen heroes since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. This display brings comfort and pride to the families whose loved ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

"To see my son, Scott Andrew Wirtz, his fellow SEALs, and those lost since September 11 is deeply personal and appreciated, especially on Art Hill, where Scotty and I spent many happy and memorable days," said Sandy Wirtz, Gold Star Mother of Petty Officer First Class Scott "Scotty" Wirtz, U.S. Navy SEAL.

A Memorial Built by Hand

Every flag is assembled, planted and cared for by volunteers. Each one bears a photograph and dog tag identifying the hero's name, rank, military branch and date of death, so visitors can walk the rows and see the people behind the numbers.

Volunteers gathered over nine weekends to assemble the memorial by hand. The installation continues a St. Louis tradition first created for the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and repeated for the 15th and 20th anniversaries, in 2016 and 2021. A display of this scale isn't planned again until 2031.

St. Louis-area resident Krista Salvatore, a 9/11 survivor who was working inside World Trade Center Tower 2 when the attacks began, is connected to the memorial. Salvatore evacuated minutes before the tower collapsed and now supports the memorial alongside St. Louis firefighters and her family.

St. Louis Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Tracy — a former New York Police Department officer who responded to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 — will speak following the Sept. 5 installation and blessing of the flags, connecting the memorial's first-responder tribute directly to those who answered the call in New York that morning.

Public Highlights

Saturday, Sept. 5: Sunrise installation by 36 volunteer teams, followed by a blessing of the flags, music, taps and remarks from Chief Robert Tracy

Tuesday, Sept. 8: American bald eagle appearance from World Bird Sanctuary, 4-6 p.m.

Friday, Sept. 11: Patriotic music by STAGES St. Louis, followed by a sunset gathering bringing the public and Gold Star Families together for a candlelight remembrance. The national president and national chaplain of Blue Star Mothers of America will attend; the overnight reading of the names begins at 9:11 p.m.

#CulinaryCourant The 2026 Voice of the Restaurant Industry Survey: How U.S. Restaurants are Handling Inflation, Labor, AI, and Revenue Growth

Toast tells us:

Toast (NYSE: TOST) released its 2026 Voice of the Restaurant Industry Survey. Each year, Toast polls hundreds of restaurant operators to get a pulse check on the industry. How are restaurants faring in 2026? What are the biggest pain points? Where do they see opportunity, and how has that changed since last year?

What was clear from our 2026 survey from April 3, 2026, to April 20, 2026, of 676 restaurant operators and decision-makers is that restaurants are durable, and they’re doubling down on being busy and effective to achieve their business goals.1

And the data backs it up: 91% of operators rate their business as good or excellent — matching last year's high mark — with growth and efficiency topping their list of priorities.

Read the full 2026 Voice of the Restaurant Industry Survey on the Data by Toast website.

Key takeaways from the 2026 Voice of the Restaurant Industry Survey: Restaurants are durable: 91% of operators rate their business health as good or excellent, unchanged from 2025.
Inflation (27%) and hiring (22%) are the top two challenges, and both rose more than any other pain point year over year (+7 and +6 points).
Profitability is the #1 goal (37%), and operators are increasingly pursuing it by serving guests in new ways and staying busy, not by cutting.
AI is now mainstream: 87% of operators feel comfortable using AI, and nearly 9 in 10 are experimenting with it.
Growth is the plan: bringing in more guests is the top revenue focus.

What's the state of the restaurant industry in 2026?

Despite rising inflation and hiring difficulties, 91% of operators polled said their business is good or excellent, holding steady with last year's strong showing even as external pressures mounted. That confidence runs deep: more than 8 in 10 operators feel neutral to extremely comfortable with the current macro climate.

Restaurant operators are increasingly looking at more disciplined inventory to keep costs down, while fewer are looking to raise menu prices compared to last year. Still, 43% of restaurant operators said they will increase menu prices if the cost of goods increases in the next 12 months, but that’s down five points compared to last year.

The bottom line

The story so far in 2026 is that restaurants are operating with familiar challenges, but they’re leaning into the hard work with a growth mindset. Operators are navigating cost and labor pressures, and are protecting their profitability through efficiency, optimized menus, keeping their teams happy and intact, experimenting with AI, and betting on guest demand.

The challenges at play are familiar for restaurants, and their instinct to turn them into momentum is also something we’ve seen from this durable industry.

12026 Survey Methodology

To help better understand the restaurant industry, Toast conducted a blind survey of 676 restaurant decision-makers operating 16 or fewer locations in the United States, including both Toast and non-Toast customers, from April 3, 2026, to April 20, 2026. Respondents include a mix of both full-service and quick-service restaurants. Respondents were not made aware that Toast was fielding the study. Panel providers granted incentives to restaurant respondents for participation. Using a standard margin of error calculation, at a confidence interval of 95%, the margin of error of +/- 4%.

By pairing these distinct lifestyles with Neiman Marcus's essential pieces for fall, the campaign creates a warm, authentic connection between lived-in home elegance and refined retail, redefining luxury as something deeply personal.

"At the heart of this campaign is the idea that style is an expression of each customer's unique identity," said Elle Strauss, SVP, Creative, Exemplar Luxury Group.
