“The Marvels” tiene dificultades en taquilla en su fin de semana de estreno

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:28:44 GMT

(CNN) — “The Marvels” terminó en el número 1 de la taquilla en su fin de semana de estreno, pero recaudó solo US$ 47 millones en ventas en Estados Unidos, según las estimaciones del estudio este domingo.Según datos de Comscore, el más reciente proyecto de Marvel es también el de menor rendimiento del estudio. Quedó por debajo de “The Incredible Hulk”, de 2008, la anterior película que ostentaba el récord, que se estrenó con algo más de US$ 55 millones.Sin embargo, el Universo Cinematográfico Marvel (MCU, por sus siglas en inglés) todavía estaba afianzándose a finales de esa década y, desde entonces, los proyectos de Marvel han amasado una sólida base de seguidores y han cosechado cifras históricas en taquilla. De hecho, “The Marvels” es apenas la tercera película de Marvel en hacer menos de US$ 60 millones durante su fin de semana de apertura, y la primera desde que “Ant-Man” se estrenó con US$ 57 millones en 2015.“Marvel h...

Do you need to cook a turkey longer in Colorado?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:28:44 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — The altitude in Colorado doesn't just affect your skin, hydration and breathing, it can also mess up your Thanksgiving dinner if you're not careful.According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cooking at a higher altitude may affect the time, temperature and recipe of your dish.The air is drier in any place higher than 2,500 feet in altitude. This means that moisture will evaporate quickly, and it will take longer to cook your turkey. This is because the atmospheric pressure is decreased, which also makes the boiling point of water decrease. To compensate, cooking time has to increase. When it comes to meat, like turkey, you want to continue to use the same oven temperature and time recommended for sea-level cookers, but the key is to keep an eye on the internal temperature with a food thermometer.To prevent your turkey from becoming overcooked and dry, aim for a recommended internal temperature of 165 degrees. Prepare for Thanksgiving with these Denver-area tu...
