AMAZON wins Ferrell-Witherspoon comedy pic bidding war

NETFLIX puts a ring on it with Duffer Bros / Fall Movie release date shifts / New David O Russell trailer & many more

Mornin! This is Sean McNulty and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on THURSDAY July 7, 2022.

Where word around the Sun Valley morning campfire 🔥 is… (btw if you haven’t tried Anderson Cooper’s open-fire egg & sausage scramble - you’re missing out) Rupert’s annual Truth or Dare game last night got a little outta hand and… #BlindItem - which Media CEO is walking around with a new Peacock tattoo under their sweater vest today?

I promised I wouldn’t tell… but ok fine, their name isn’t Bob so that should narrow it down.

AND: Yes I promise that’s my final “Bob” CEO joke for the week 😬. And I’m blaming the lack of any reported activity from this gathering for opening with that today.

PLUS: Variety has the latest COMIC-CON calendar 🗓 of major panel events (new addition yesterday of PAR’s “Dungeons & Dragons” pic) for anyone making the trek in 2 weeks.
