✅ Quick Answers to Click

  1. Which animated movie reboot premiered in theaters recently?
    Answer: Smurfs
    Why it’s right: Paramount’s Smurfs opened in U.S. theaters on July 18, 2025.

  2. Which footballer transferred from Brentford to Manchester United for ~£65–71 million in July 2025?
    Answer: Bryan Mbeumo
    Why it’s right: United announced Mbeumo on July 21, 2025; reputable outlets pegged the fee a little higher than £65m (reports cluster around £70–71m).

  3. Which day was celebrated as National Moon Day in the U.S.?
    Answer: July 20th
    Why it’s right: July 20 marks the Apollo 11 landing; 2025 proclamations and observances pointed to July 20 (also the U.N.’s International Moon Day).

  4. Which NFL team signed wide receiver Bryan Mbeumo for $65 million?
    Answer: Click “Manchester United” in the quiz, but here’s the truth: there is no NFL signing. Mbeumo is a soccer forward who joined Manchester United in the Premier League. The question’s “NFL” phrasing is a category error.


🎬 Smurfs Reboot: The Theatrical Release That Counts

The movie the quiz is pointing to is the new Smurfs reboot. U.S. theatrical release: July 18, 2025. If your quiz uses “recently premiered,” that date clears it.


⚽ Transfer Talk: Why Mbeumo Is the Correct Pick

Bryan Mbeumo’s move from Brentford → Manchester United went through in July with reports citing a fee a touch above £65m. If you see fee variations, ignore the noise and stick with Mbeumo as the correct selection. United and Brentford both confirmed the transfer.


🌕 Moon Day vs. “Which Day?” Confusion

The U.S. marked July 20, 2025 with official messaging around Space Exploration Day, and globally the U.N. observes International Moon Day on the same date. For quiz purposes, July 20th is the safe answer.


❗ The “NFL” Trick Question Explained

You’re not crazy—the wording is off. Manchester United is not an NFL team, and Bryan Mbeumo doesn’t play American football. The expected quiz click is still “Manchester United,” because the item is referencing his high-profile Premier League transfer. Answer for points, keep the facts straight.
