The live-action remake of “Lilo & Stitch” and the adrenaline-fueled “Mission: Impossible -- The Final Reckoning” racked up a combined $494.2 million in worldwide ticket sales, including $208.5 million in the U.

Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell in April, as elevated mortgage rates and rising prices discouraged prospective home shoppers during what’s traditionally the busiest time of the year for the housing market.

The slowest sales pace for any April in 16 years indicates the spring selling season is shaping up as a bust.

Sales of new U.S. single-family homes surged to more than a three-year high in April as builders lowered prices to attract buyers, but rising mortgage rates and economic uncertainty remained headwinds for the housing market.

US new-home sales rose unexpectedly in April to the highest level since February 2022, likely helped by builder incentives aimed at alleviating affordability challenges.
