For the first time, astrophysicists have measured the recoil — or "kick," in the parlance — resulting from the birth of a new black hole that formed from the merger of two preexisting ones.

StubHub CEO says recent change to all-in ticket prices will dent revenue

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-09-26 14:51:50

StubHub CEO Eric Baker said Wednesday that recently introduced federal regulations around transparent ticket pricing will cause a "one-time" hit to its financial results. Revenue is expected to dip year over year as consumers digest the new rules, Baker told CNBC, which require online ticket sellers to prominently show the total cost upfront. "We've seen this in states like New York that have done it. You have a drop off and it hits about 10%. ... Then it's just back to normal," Baker said in

Sony Pictures Entertainment finally released the official trailer for a new Anaconda remake, starring Paul Rudd and Jack Black, transforming the creature feature into a full-on comedy. The first time we heard of an Anaconda remake was last December. In it, Rudd and Black essentially gave us a vibe check that their remake of the film would lean heavily into the campy nature of the 1997 flick starring Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight.
