☀️WOMAN KING over-delivers - but total box office remains in the basement
50 CENT leaves STARZ / MAGIC MIKE 3 shifts to Theatrical, gets date / YT exec in lead for WB RECORDS CEO gig
Mornin! This is Sean McNulty and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on MONDAY September 19, 2022.
Where the GIANTS are 2-0. The last time that happened - HBO wasn’t even owned by AT&T yet. I also still worked there. So here’s to new beginnings!
CONGRATS🍾: To the WNBA’s LAS VEGAS ACES who won the Finals yesterday. WNBA playoff ratings were +24% vs. last year.
TICK TOCK (the clock kind): 2 weeks left in Q3 for LIONSGATE to announce their TBD STARZ deal.
AND: Unsurprisingly, UNI’s “The Fabelmans” won the coveted Audience Award at TIFF. Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking” took runner up.
ALSO: Common will make his BROADWAY debut in December in “Between Riverside and Crazy”.
PLUS: Janice and I will be in Singapore next week (so this newsletter should finally come out by 8:30am. should) for the APOS Asia-Pacific streaming & media biz conference, and we’ll also be doing some interview podcasts as well - if you’re going to be there too and want to say hello or have a chat - drop a note! seanmcnultynyc@gmail.com
