Industry Grosses Fall Amid Openings, Daniel Radcliffe Cracks Top Five

Industry Grosses Fall Amid Openings, Daniel Radcliffe Cracks Top Five

Published by Daniella Wilson

A number of shows saw their attendance fall last week, as spring break crowds dissipated, and as several productions comped tickets in the lead up to openings. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was the highest grossing show last week, bringing in $2.4 million at the Lyric Theatre, followed by Hamilton with $1.9 million and The Lion King with $1.8 million. Moulin Rouge! brought in $1.6 million, on the continued strength of Megan Thee Stallion’s run in the musical. Every Brilliant Thing, starring Daniel Radcliffe, also cracked the top five for the first time with $1.5 million and the top average ticket price last week of $198. Last week saw the openings of The Fear of 13, starring Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson, which opened to mixed reviews, Proof, starring Ayo Edebiri and Don Cheadle, which opened to mixed to positive reviews and Fallen Angels, starring Rose Byrne and Kelli O’Hara, which opened to largely positive reviews. Six more shows were in previews last week, with all set to open before April 27, the Tony …

Luxury things to do in London in March: Spas, Mother’s Day afternoon teas & new openings

Luxury things to do in London in March: Spas, Mother’s Day afternoon teas & new openings

Published by Daniella Wilson

March always feels like a bit of a reset in London. The cosy, candlelit months start to fall away and the city slowly shifts towards brighter days – something I couldn’t be happier about. My weekend plans and date nights are already following suit, swapping snug corners and comfort food for playful, colourful interiors and menus that feel fresher and lighter.  With Mother’s Day landing on Sunday 15th, there’s also a welcome excuse for florals everywhere, and maybe the most classic celebration of them all – an afternoon tea. Elsewhere, there’s a very exciting hotel opening in Bayswater this month. Even if you’re a Londoner with no need for a place to stay, it’s still worth having on your radar thanks to its beautiful spa. Consider this your little black book for luxury in London in March 2026. Daphne’s  Chelsea Daphne’s beautiful conservatory-style dining room is the epitome of elegance, but it’s also warm and welcoming. The Italian restaurant has touches of a Milanese trattoria and has been a neighbourhood institution since the 1960s. Tucked …

US Job Openings Rise to a Better-Than-Expected 7 Million Despite Sluggish Labor Market

US Job Openings Rise to a Better-Than-Expected 7 Million Despite Sluggish Labor Market

Published by Sam Flores

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. job openings rose to nearly 7 million in January, better than expected at a time when the American labor market has looked sluggish. The 6.95 million job postings in January were up from 6.55 million in December, the Labor Department said Friday. That was higher than economists had forecast. Layoffs fell slightly and the number of Americans quitting their jobs — a sign of confidence in their prospects — slipped modestly. In the hiring boom that followed COVID-19 lockdowns, job openings peaked at a record 12.3 million in March 2022. The American job market is sputtering. Last month, employers cut 92,000 jobs. In 2025, they added fewer than 10,000 jobs a month, weakest hiring outside recession years since 2002. The lingering effects of high interest rates, uncertainty around President Donald Trump’s policies and possibly the increasing use of artificial intelligence appear to be weighing on the labor market. The U.S. economy has been resilient in the face of President Donald Trump’s import taxes and deportations. But the Commerce Department reported Friday …

Job Openings Plunge Below Lowest Estimate As Gov’t Openings Crater; Hiring Plummets

Job Openings Plunge Below Lowest Estimate As Gov’t Openings Crater; Hiring Plummets

Published by Jenni Sidey

While today’s ADP report was a solid rebound from the worst monthly report in years (even if it missed expectations due to a sudden plunge in California payrolls), the same could not be said for the JOLTS job opening report that followed less than two hours later, and which was another epic disaster: for the month of November (recall JOLTS lags the payrolls report by a month), the US had only 7.146 million job openings, a huge drop from the 7.670 million in October (which was conveniently revised lower to 7.449 million) and the lowest since September 2024. The November print was also a 3+ sigma miss to expectations and came in below the lowest estimate (that of TD Securities). According to the BLS, the number of job openings decreased in accommodation and food services (-148,000); transportation, warehousing, and utilities (-108,000); and wholesale trade (-63,000). Job openings increased in construction (+90,000). But the most notable drop by far, was that in government, where the number of workers collapsed to the lowest level since early 2021. Meanwhile, after …

While 2026 has barely even begun, the year already looks to be a busy one. The world’s biggest art festival, the Venice Biennale, is returning, headlining a year that will also see many more biennials staged from New York to Sydney. Long-awaited museums are finally set to arrive, and new fairs are launching. And that’s to say nothing of monumentally scaled retrospectives for some of art history’s biggest stars. What should you look forward to most this year? To help you plan, we’ve selected 20 art happenings to look forward to in 2026. Koyo Kouoh’s Posthumous Vision Is Realized at the Venice Biennale Image Credit: Dave Southwood for ARTnews Never before in the history of the Venice Biennale has a curator died during the production of their show, making the 2026 edition a first. That exhibition was conceived by Koyo Kouoh, a star curator of the African art scene who died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2025, having battled cancer in private. Kouoh did leave behind a framework for her show, which will be titled “In …
