Matanda na rin parents ko. So actually, all my time goes to them. 'Pag may traffic, I sacrifice myself,” shared Zubiri.

“Mercy” rises to no. 1 in its US debut, plus watch this special video of Chris Pratt greeting his Pinoy fans

Mercy rises to the top of the American box office in its debut, the futuristic action thriller dethroning Avatar: Fire and Ash’s five-week reign. Mercy is set in a not too distant future, where Det. Chris Raven (Chris Pratt)  stands accused of killing his wife. He has ninety minutes to prove his innocence to the A.I. judge Maddox (Rebecca Ferguson), or face the death penalty.

Watch Chris Pratt’s greeting: https://youtu.be/md_6ZdEWNfI

The cast talks about how the film makes use of the current rise of AI, with Chris Pratt explaining the progression of Judge Maddox’s character. “Chris Raven’s story is his attempt to establish he’s not guilty while being forced to come to terms with his demons,” says Pratt, “but an equally incredible arc is the character of Judge Maddox, who feels like a cold, calculating computer program but through the course of the film actually becomes more sentient. She’s a character who essentially is trying to hide the humanity creeping up inside of her programming.”
