Mornin! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LinkedIn here if ya like), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on SUNDAY Oct. 15, 2023.

Where if the JETS can beat the previously undefeated EAGLES, for the first time ever…

For the record - Travis went to see his brother play in Philly this afternoon, but Taylor was like “Um yeah, one JETS game this season is enough thanks.”

AND: The GIANTS can beat the BILLS for three full quarters of NFL football 🏈 tonight…

I mean, come on AMPTP! At least get in touch with SAG-AFTRA by the end of this week with an intent to get back in the room next week?

PLUS: Between NFL games, practices, movie premieres and SNL appearances, when do Taylor & Travis (#TnT? 🤷‍♂️) like, go on dates?

TRAILER REPORT: It seems PAR, LGF, DIS, WB and UNI were taking advantage of The Eras Tour audience of roughly one million U.S. teenagers in attendance this weekend.

  • Mean Girls, Hunger Games, The Marvels, Wonka, Migration and Trolls 3 all showed trailers before Eras this weekend..

    • PLUS: UNI customized Migration and Trolls spots with special Swifties messaging

      • A special thanks to the new Ankler 11-year-olds insiders group of Lila, Jane and Delilah for that in-theater intel.

  • A REDDIT chat has Mean Girls as the big audience reaction winner, with Hunger Games as a close second in popularity. So, looks like that PARAMOUNT stunt on TIKTOK was a bit more coincidentally timed than thought…

  • BUT: No Beyonce Renaissance trailer? 🧐. If you saw one, let me know - seanmcnultynyc@gmail.com.

REST IN PEACE: Goes out to Suzanne Somers, who died just one day short of turning 77 this weekend, from breast cancer.

WAKEUP BOX OFFICE RESULTS:

Kudos to the bold 6%! Bears - your on-point Fall continues…

IN TODAY’S EDITION

  • A look at how much $$ Taylor Swift is adding to her bank account this week, plus the Exorcist week two drop, the latest in specialty and more.

  • GOOGLE looks like its losing a boatload of money on NFL Sunday Ticket, as expected. Some back of the napkin math to consider.
