☀️OSCAR Nom Box Office bumps; PUSS IN BOOTS owns family market
AVATAR also rules 2022 Piracy chart / Julia + Aniston for AMAZON pic / HBO gets Kidman + Erskine limited series project
Mornin! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LinkedIn here if ya like), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on MONDAY January 30, 2023.
Where the PHILLY EAGLES and KC CHIEFS are your two Super Bowl teams in 2 weeks on Feb 12 - and from the looks of it, DISNEY’s February “Ant-Man” release and UNI’s… uh, July “Oppenheimer” release & April “Super Mario Bros” pic were the 3 big film advertisers for the 2 games yesterday.
DISNEYFOX and NETFLIX did Ads for… new trailers (“Boogeyman” and “Murder Mystery 2” respectively - links below in the TRAILER HOUSE), although oddly missing: this Friday’s movies.
Unless it all happened when I stepped out to stretch my legs… not much (if any?) for UNI’s “Knock at the Cabin” or PAR’s “80 For Brady” (not even in the evening CBS game 🤔).
Then again, sadly only one game yesterday probably had an engaged audience. You know it’s bad when you have to figure out how to shift your Running Back to QB because all the ones you have got hurt. #NextYearSF… although good luck picking which of your 3 top (hopefully all healthy) QB’s will start in September 😳.
ALSO: Congrats to Taika Waititi and Rita Ora who are now officially a married couple.
PLUS: HARRY STYLES will grace us with his presence on stage at THE GRAMMYS on Sunday.
AND: If you didn’t get to your household chores this weekend… don’t feel too bad about it - doesn’t sound like Marie Kondo did either, now that she has 3 children in her house. Welcome to the struggle Marie.
