Does TV news have a future outside of the existing television ecosystem? The question is top of mind for news executives as the entertainment world dramatically shifts, with linear TV channels facing steady decline and streaming on the rise. In his 1991 book Three Blind Mice, Ken Auletta detailed how the rise of cable TV, and specifically CNN and its coverage of the Gulf War, threw the network news divisions at ABC, NBC and CBS into chaos. “Viewers realized that CNN, not the three networks, was the channel of convenience for live, up-to-the-minute news,” Auletta wrote. “All at once, everyone seemed to be talking about whether network news had a future — indeed, whether the networks had a future.” The networks found their future by becoming tied to the pay…
Former Marvel editorial staffer Alejandro Arbona appeared to have the perfect job. “People always got really excited when they asked what I did and I told them I worked at Marvel, but I would always counter, ‘You have no idea how hard and demoralizing it is,’” Arbona recalls. “The hours are long, the work is overwhelming, and the pay is low.” In the decade since Arbona left Marvel to work as a freelance writer and editor, workplaces in the publishing sector of the industry arguably haven’t changed significantly. But on Nov. 1, staffers from Image Comics — home to Spawn, The Walking Dead and Savage Dragon franchises — said they formed a union called Comic Book Workers United (CBWU), with 10 of the 12 eligible staffers voting to organize and…
In April 2018, Hollywood power players gave the royal treatment to Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, jockeying for a chance to tap into the country’s $500 billion Public Investment Fund and expanding market share. But in the wake of the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi six months later — a crime attributed to Saudi government agents — the industry publicly eschewed the relationship. Fast-forward three years, and that freezeout appears to be thawing as Saudi Arabia kicks off a big month of showbiz activity that will feature such notables as Justin Bieber, Anthony Mackie and director Joe Wright. On Dec. 5, United Artists and Universal will launch the Wright-directed musical Cyrano as the opening-night film at the Red Sea Film Festival, the country’s first major international…
Netflix no longer is public enemy No. 1 in the eyes of at least one mega-theater circuit — Cinemark. On Nov. 12, without revealing actual numbers, the exhibitor gushed in a press release that Red Notice is the most successful Netflix title it has carried. Before the pandemic, Cinemark, like major theater chain rivals AMC Entertainment and Regal Cinemas, largely snubbed Netflix titles since the streamer wouldn’t abide by a 90-day theatrical window. That meant Netflix had to rely on a patchwork of 150 to 300 indie cinemas to play its films and prove to talent that it cares about the theatrical experience. The extended COVID-19 pandemic has upended traditional windows. On Nov. 5, Netflix was hence able to book Red Notice — an action-comedy starring Dwayne Johnson opposite Ryan…
