One of The Beatles original riders got sent to us and itโ€™s a beauty:

๐Ÿ The Weekly Buzz (7 Entertainment Industry Headlines That Actually Matter)

1) ElevenLabs just unleashed Eleven Music, an AI tool that cranks out songs from a single sentence. Because who needs humans when youโ€™ve got prompts! They promise it wonโ€™t replace your favorite musician.. or even your least favorite. With industry partners like Kobalt and Merlin backing it, the robots now have a record deal too.

Do you support AI tools like Eleven Music that generate music from prompts?

2) Is Dude Perfect is the next Taylor Swift? Well no, but Regal is releasing a doc about the YouTube stars across the country in hopes to draw in a younger audience with more bets on non-traditional programming. Full breakdown from Lucas Shaw of Bloomberg.

3) More states continue to enter the production inventive race, pulling shoots away from an already suffering Hollywood.

4) Lollapaloozaโ€™s attendance this year matched their pre-pandemic levels. 115,000 fans shows up to the fest each day with nearly 460,000 fans across the weekend.

5) Lady Gaga leads the MTV VMA nominations with 12. The rest of the top 5: Her recent collaborator Bruno Mars with 11, Kendrick Lamar with 10, and Sabrina Carpenter is tied with ROSร‰ at 8.

6) โ€˜KPop Demon Huntersโ€™ becomes Netflixโ€™s 4th most popular English language film of all time with 158.8 million views. Insane reception from fans and Iโ€™m sure Sony, the producer of the animated musical, is probably wishing they sent this one to theaters first.

๐Ÿง  Industry Insight: The top 3 Netflix Films: โ€˜Red Noticeโ€™ (230 million), โ€˜Carry Onโ€™ (172 million), and โ€˜Donโ€™t Look Upโ€™ (171 million).

7) WE NEED MORE STREAMING SERVICES (please stop)! ESPN is debuting itโ€™s new streaming service on Aug 21 that will include betting tie-ins. In same, same, but different news: Hulu is being phased out and integrated into Disney+. Early reports are saying it will be called Delulu.
