\n\t\u201cSuperman<\/a>\u201d flexed solid box office muscle in its debut weekend. Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav took an early victory lap over the Man of Steel\u2019s performance, while Rihanna<\/a> arrived fashionably late to Sunday\u2019s premiere of \u201cSmurfs\u201d with her two young sons in tow.<\/p>\n

\n\tThese stories are included in today\u2019s installment of \u201cDaily Variety<\/a>,\u201d a new podcast that features conversations with Variety journalists about news, trends and personalities making waves in media and entertainment.<\/p>\n

\n\tRebecca Rubin, Variety\u2018s box office expert, weighs in on \u201cSuperman\u2019s\u201d performance and some of the suprising regional trends in its performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe top 10 markets were pretty standard. L.A., New York, Dallas, Chicago and San Francisco were some of the top markets. But when I was looking at the top 10 locations, something that caught my eye was there were two theaters in Florida, one in Orlando and one in Miami, and one theater in Atlanta that cracked the top 10 locations,\u201d Rubin says. \u201cAgain, usually [the top 10] are populated by theaters in L.A., New York and Texas. I thought it was interesting that those Southern venues were some of the highest grossing. And so it played pretty evenly across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tClayton Davis, Variety\u2018s chief awards editor, offered some last-minute thoughts on what to expect with Tuesday\u2019s Emmy nominations. His biggest burning question is whether Television Academy voters will bestow a nomination on \u201cThe Pitt\u201d star Noah Wyle. Wyle grabbed five consective supporting drama actor nominations from 1995 to 1999 for his work on NBC\u2019s \u201cER.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s been 26 years since Noah Wyle has gotten any nomination and I think [\u2018The Pitt\u2019] is such a dark horse to win drama series,\u201d Davis opines.<\/p>\n

\n\tMarc Malkin, Variety\u2018s red carpet veteran, offers a zippy \u201cJust for Variety\u201d rundown of \u201cSmurfs\u201d premiere event on the Paramount Pictures lot on a sizzling Sunday in Hollywood. Yes, Rihanna arrived nearly two hours after the screening ended. But she didn\u2019t disappoint with her two young sons in tow and plenty of quips about her experience playing Smurfette.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is not just for the kids. I\u2019m a super-fan of Smurfs. I\u2019ve always been a fan. I\u2019m really excited for a new generation of Smurfs fans\u201d to discover the film, the pop superstar tells Variety. <\/p>\n
