☀️'Smile 2' Sets Top Horror Opening for 2024
CBS gets solid Thursday fall opening / FANDUEL takes over BALLY RSNs / VERVE adds more agents
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, October 20, 2024.
Where that tingly feeling in the air isn’t the fall weather that . . . has still yet to arrive in NYC by Oct. 20 #thanksClimateChange!
But rather it’s that time of year where sports is hitting its big fall crescendo — tonight has:
NBC Sunday Night Football as usual (JETS vs. STEELERS)
The deciding WNBA Finals game on ESPN
And a make-or-break game in the METS vs. DODGERS series.
As 2 of those 3 games are actually cable TV exclusives 🧐 — a moment custom built for YOUTUBE TV’s multi-view option . . . and yet no custom commercial today.
AND: Add American Psycho up on the big board of Hollwood remakes — Luca Guadagnino has come on board to direct the LIONSGATE film, with Scott Z. Burns (Contagion) currently doing the script.
KUDOS 1: To Jennifer Lawrence Cooke Maroney, who announced they’re expecting kid #2.
KUDOS 2: To Josh Horowitz on hitting 10 years of his Happy Sad Confused franchise — quite an achievement . . . that he celebrated by hosting 7 panels in a weekend at NY COMIC CON, which I’m sure left him feeling all 3 of the emotions in his podcast name at once. 🤯 I mean, the outfit changes alone — hope you had your t-shirt duffel bag with ya, buddy!

Kudos to my fellow Smile 2 bulls this weekend!
