Evenin! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LinkedIn here if ya like), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on SUNDAY February 25, 2023.
Where I hope my gifs aren’t showing through my new official MLB uniform spanx pants tonight 😬.
First the ongoing collapse of the RSN business, now NIKE and FANATICS can’t even get the pants right . . . yeah, baseball’s goin great, thanks. But hey — more pics like these, and the MLB might bring in some new fans 🤷♂️.
ALSO: Anyone need an award?
SAG Award winners
PGA Award winners
Independent Spirit Award winners (Aidy Bryant monologue here)
And of course, Mikey.
WAKEUP BOX OFFICE POLL
Kudos to the tracking believers, as the Angels couldn’t quite get over the $7 Million hump.
IN THIS EDITION
Bob Marley handily beats all comers this weekend, as Ordinary Angels scores huge in exit polls, but the 💰 numbers didn’t rise to extraordinary status accordingly (and yeah… let’s call that half a pun).
Plus a look at where things stand with the box office 💰, now 2 months into the year #notgreat.
And some specialty pics hit new notable heights along with the full box office breakdown.
New project news at SONY, UNI, LIONSGATE and FX, and a look at what’s ahead at what will be a very busy week.
AND: Thanks to the folks at WB for the invite to check out the Dune Part 2 premiere tonight in NYC — the big screen is by far the way to go on this one, the audio experience alone is amazing. No big screen TV at home can come close to delivering that, not to mention those dreamy Chalamet eyes in their full glory…
