☀️ 'Venom' & Oscar Buzz Pics Show 💰 Life as 'Here' Misses
DISNEYFOX's new original pic bets / AMAZON's movie spend continues / HBO doing 'DTF' dark comedy
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, November 3, 2024.
Where yes, Daylight Savings Time continues to be one of the dumbest things we do as a country (I’ll get a Google doc started for all of us). Gotta love having to turn on the lights when writing this at . . . 5 p.m. for utterly no good reason.
AND: Man, first The Grammys and now Rudolph is leaving CBS! Yes, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is returning to NBC this year after 50+ years on CBS. It’ll air Fri., Dec. 6 at 8 p.m.
ALSO: Sending a thought out to James Van Der Beek, who announced he is currently battling colorectal cancer at 47-years-old — and just a reminder to my fellow Gen X contingent to not put off those colonoscopies, folks.
THEN: DISNEY has created a new AI-focused exec group centered on the business opportunities 💰 and risks 😬 that the technology will introduce to its divisions.
YUP: Add Days of Thunder up onto the big board of Hollywood 2024 #ReduxReflux, with Tom Cruise in “early talks” for a sequel of sorts. Remember folks — there are no bad ideas. Apparently, there no new ones either.
PHEW: NETFLIX just grew its Christmas movie gross tonnage 🎄 now that pesky Halloween is finally out of the way (I thought he’d never leave 🙄), adding 10 Christmas pics that aired on HALLMARK last year (and are not avail on HALLMARK+). A Heidelberg Holiday, anyone?
WAKEUP BOX OFFICE POLL
My fellow bears and I had Here’s number this weekend, for sure.
FINALLY: Gotta love this quote from one of the two Presidential candidates today in reference to press corps stationed in front of him at a rally: “To get me, somebody would have to shoot 🔫 through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much. I don’t mind.”
But ya know— just jokes, folks, from America’s top comic. Look — he does prop humor too! #AllClass
