Everybody is praising Netflix for releasing Kpop Demon Hunters and "saving" the box office this weekend like its CEO wasn't dumping on theatrical releases earlier this year.

Anyways, this is both a win for Netflix and, surprisingly, AMC theaters.

I am late to this celebratory news. Excited for Tramell's incoming industry dominance but I hope he has a meaty role in Spider-Man and isn't just some thankless role in a superhero film like Wendell Pierce in Superman.

The fact that in the year 2025, Tramell Tillman from Severance could be the first Black actor to win in the Supporting Drama series category is such an embarrassing stat for the Emmys.

Really this is between Universal, Paramount, and Netflix. And considering the theme park implications and expansion of the brand, Peele/Monkeypaw would make the most sense.

Otherwise I think Perkins/NEON or Powell/A24 would also be solid.
A bidding war is happening for the ‘TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSCARE’ rights.

Creatives & studios involved:

• Jordan Peele/Monkeypaw
• Taylor Sheridan/Paramount
• Osgood Perkins/NEON
• Glen Powell/A24
• Netflix

Please support real writers and book lovers. And maybe stop subscribing and buying the Chicago Sun-Times for a while.

I don’t know if it is going to come close to making as much money as Top Gun: Maverick but this def is Apple and Joseph Kosinski’s way of trying to copy it.

I do wish they would feature Damson Idris more on the promos because not sure Brad Pitt is as much of a pull as Tom Cruise.

Why parts of #Sinners can be replicated but the main core of what makes it special can't be imitated.

Really feels like Mufasa is going to be a more extreme version of Elemental and leg it out through January. Those "Mufasa bombing" posts after the first weekend will age like whole fat milk.

Anyone going to see Wicked tonight? Headed to the theater soon. The excitement around this film feels very similar to Barbie.

Agatha All Along and The Penguin let their villains be villains, which was refreshing. I hope they (and the creative teams) will be rewarded.

If Amy Poehler is making $5M (plus bonuses) and they offered Kaling and Hader only $100K flat, I hope Phyllis Smith had them empty the bag because she's the secret sauce.

So happy that the WGA got a deal done but the SAG-AFTRA news is so deflating. Hopefully they can get back to the table because the Sims crowd in Disney+ Prom Pact is not a future I want.

Akela Cooper finding her groove as a horror writer (Malignant, Megan, The Nun 2) in Hollywood is great to see. Hopefully Hollywood execs can start paying people their worth so she and many others can get back to work.
