Wildfire smoke from Canada continues to blanket parts of the U.S., with Detroit, Chicago and Washington, D.C. among the most polluted areas and Maryland under red/purple air alerts. Smoke is expected to ease in the Mid-Atlantic on Saturday but may rebound into the Northeast as a storm system moves in; rain should help wash particles from the air.

They Will Kill You opens modestly around $5–$7 million.

Pixar's HOPPERS is forecast to remain No. 1 this weekend with a $23–28M range, buoyed by strong word-of-mouth and solid reviews; Reminders of Him is expected to open around $15–18M, while Scream 7 projects to $7–10M in its third weekend, as the top 3 films vie for the box office lead.

Scream 7 is tracking for $25–$33 million in its second weekend, riding nostalgia but hampered by a 31% RT score and a B- Cinemascore that could temper momentum.

The article also discusses Pixar’s post-pandemic original performance, franchise dynamics, and the challenges of non-sequel fare in Q1.
Paramount's Scream 7 is tracking for a franchise-best domestic debut around $50 million (potentially up to $60M), helped by Neve Campbell's return and renewed marketing, though behind-the-scenes turnover and weather could mute momentum. In Week 3, Sony's GOAT is projected at $9–$12M and Warner Bros.' Wuthering Heights at $7–$10M as counter-programming.
Forecasters say a significant snowstorm is likely for the Philadelphia region this weekend, with a potential icy mix. Snow could arrive late Saturday night and persist through Sunday (possibly into Monday) under bitterly cold, teens-to-near-20s highs; the system may bring heavy snowfall and could trigger ice-coated roads and power outages. Residents are stocking up on snow supplies and staying weather-aware as the forecast evolves.
Forecasters warn of a potential snowstorm for the Philadelphia region on the weekend of January 24–25, 2026, but the storm’s track and impact remain uncertain as a system approaches from the southwest while an Arctic high remains in place.
