"Star Trek: Into Darkness" soared at warp speed to the top of the US box office, ousting blockbuster sequel "Iron Man 3," industry estimates showed Sunday. The latest installment of the cult science fiction phenomenon starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto took in $70.6 million on its debut weekend, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations. That's roughly double what runner up "Iron Man 3" -- the comic book superhero flick featuring Robert Downey Jr. -- made with $35.2 million.

You may not have seen any of his stuff, but movie insiders predict you soon will. And good parents, American football and mentoring by Hollywood star Forest Whitaker are what gave him his chance. Aged just 26, from a modest background, African-American director Ryan Coogler is being tipped at the Cannes Film Festival as a dazzling new talent. His first feature movie, "Fruitvale Station", featuring in Cannes' "Un Certain Regard" competition, touches on a tragic true-life story that occurred in his native San Francisco.

The Cannes film festival took a blow after jewelry worth around $1 million was stolen from a hotel and the theft is causing a massive buzz across the social networks. Luckily the festival has retained its glamour thanks to Sonam Kapoor's Dolce & Gabbana outfit and the positive buzz surrounding François Ozon's story of sexual awakening, "Jeune et Jolie."
