Jessica Alba recently graced the red carpet alongside her 15-year-old daughter, Honor Warren, at the prestigious 2023 French Open. The 42-year-old actress and founder of Honest Beauty attended the women’s singles final in a stylish striped shirtdress adorned with a keyhole cutout, complemented by a pair of trendy white platform sneakers.
Jessica Alba and Her Daughter Honor
Honor was demonstrating that she is indeed the daughter of Jessica Alba, opting for a more relaxed ensemble and sporting muted yellow summer shorts set with a matching button-up and a pair of fashionable white trainers. As the eldest of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren’s three children, Honor bore a striking resemblance to her mother, showcasing their shared middle-parted hair and strong Alba genes. The mother-daughter duo was spotted in the stands, capturing a selfie together amidst the thrilling match between Karolina Muchova and Iga Swiatek. After three intense sets, Swiatek emerged victorious, securing her third French Open title and fourth Grand Slam victory.
On Instagram, Jessica Alba shared her collection of selfies and photos from their girls’ trip, using the platform to congratulate both tennis players. However, the striking similarities between the mother and daughter did not go unnoticed by their admirers, and the online comments section quickly shifted focus to the uncanny resemblance between Alba and Honor. Users flooded the post with remarks noting that they look like twins.
Honor Is Alba’s Eldest Child
Earlier in the week, Jessica Alba celebrated Honor’s milestone 15th birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Reflecting on the transformative experience of becoming a mother, Alba expressed her profound love and pride for her daughter. She described Honor as kind, driven, caring, intelligent, bold, silly, independent, emotional, creative, wise, and rebellious—attributes that have undoubtedly shaped the teenager into the remarkable individual she is today. Alba expressed gratitude for Honor’s unwavering love and her role as an exemplary older sister to Haven and Hayes.
Alba encouraged Honor to continue embracing her authenticity and always approach life with love and presence. She marveled at the journey of watching her daughter grow and create her path, acknowledging it as one of her greatest gifts. Alba concluded the tribute with warm hugs, kisses, and a lighthearted exclamation of disbelief that her baby girl had reached the milestone age of 15.
The red-carpet appearance at the French Open, coupled with the undeniable resemblance between Jessica Alba and Honor, generated significant attention and admiration. As fans eagerly follow the teenager’s journey, it’s evident that she has inherited not only her mother’s striking looks but also her remarkable spirit and grace, promising a bright and fulfilling future for Honor Warren.
Ant-Man 3 Has Had a Poor, Concerning Second Box Office Weekend
In its second weekend at the box office, Ant-Man 3, aka Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, experienced a significant decline in ticket sales, with a 69% drop from its $105 million opening. This marks the largest second-weekend decline in the history of the Marvel franchise and has sparked discussions about a turning point for the franchise.
Ant-Man 3 Is Out in Cinemas
According to some analysts, the answer likely lies somewhere in the middle. A drop of around 70% in the second weekend is noteworthy, but films with opening earnings exceeding $100 million usually see a decline in attendance during the second week due to being front-loaded. Therefore, the turnout of $32 million for Quantumania during its second weekend is not the most promising, but it is still early in the movie’s theatrical run. Despite receiving negative reviews and audience scores, Ant-Man 3 had the biggest opening weekend of the trilogy and the first $100 million debut of the year.
There is a precedent for major movie franchises to earn the majority of their revenue during the opening weekend, which has become increasingly common for Marvel films due to the eagerness of audiences to avoid spoilers. Ant-Man 3 is the 31st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and had a budget of $200 million, making it no exception to this trend.
The MCU Is Not Unpopular
The holiday weekend has not helped the box office figures for Quantumania. Some believe that the movie’s poor performance is a sign of a worrying trend with the Marvel franchise. Although it suffered the greatest decline, it is not the only recent MCU movie that has seen a significant drop in revenue in its second weekend. Other such movies include Black Widow, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and Thor: Love and Thunder.
Excluding Black Widow, these films grossed between $760M and $955M in theaters. Marvel’s target audience is dependable, despite criticism from non-core fans. This unwavering base ensures consistency, making Marvel unique among franchises and showing that the brand will remain intact despite some divisions and front-loaded films.
To measure the success of the movie, analysts prefer to look at its lifetime total, and it is expected that the third Ant-Man installment will perform better than the previous ones. It is important to note that not all Marvel films perform equally at the box office. It’s challenging for releases like Ant-Man 3 to rival Avengers: Endgame or other heavy hitters from the franchise. While some worry about oversaturation with TV shows and movies, the impact of Quantumania on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels is uncertain. Still, analysts say that Marvel is hitting more home runs than anyone else and is successful overall, despite occasional misses.
