"With the economy and borders opening up, Okada Manila is expected to sustain the momentum," current management said in the statement as it held its first news conference since it took physical control of the casino on May 31.

Also starring Ethan Hawke and May Calamawy, Moon Knight streams on Disney Plus March 30.

July 11 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures fell on Monday, bracing for the start of the earnings season which could see profits come under pressure at a time of growing fears of an economic downturn due to aggressive interest rate hikes.

The more than 600,000 residents in the former Portuguese colony have been asked to stay at home when possible and are required to take part in three citywide COVID-19 tests this week.
People are also required to take rapid antigen tests in between.

The 44-hectare (108-acre) Okada Manila started operations late in 2016.
