Movie star dreams for Camila Cabello just hit a hurdle. Her big-screen debut in the modern re-telling of Cinderella has been scrubbed. It won’t have a nationwide theatrical release in July.
Rumors swirled that Cinderella needed to land at a streaming platform due to lackluster performances. We still have not seen a trailer for Cinderella, which is rarely a positive sign. The celebrity blog Crazy Days and Night reported in January, (quote) “The producers hope it won’t have a full box office release because it will be a huge flop.”
Sony negotiated with Amazon Prime for streaming rights. Cinderella will debut soon at Amazon.
Due to suppressed box office returns, Sony has sent several movies to streaming platforms. The list includes Kristen Stewart in the holiday romantic comedy Happiest Season, HBO Max bought Seth Rogen’s An American Pickle and Kevin Hart’s drama for Sony, Fatherhood, will stream at Netflix in June.

Coldplay made sure Thursday’s premiere of their new single “Higher Power” was out of this world.
For the very first listen the band linked up on an extraterrestrial video chat with French European Space Agency astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is currently on board the International Space Station. They played him a specially-recorded performance of the song featuring dancing alien holograms.
The song’s premiere followed a conversation that covered similarities between life on tour and life on the ISS, the fragility of planet earth and whether Pesquet has spotted any aliens. You can find both their conversation and the performance video on YouTube.
Prince’s estate has teamed up with cosmetics company Urban Decay to create a makeup line inspired by the late superstar. It’ll be called ‘Live Loud In Color.’ The limited-edition collection will include makeup in black and gold and, of course, purple. Urban Decay designed the line in close collaboration with people in Prince’s artistic camp. It’ll be available on May 27th.
