๐ The Weekly Buzz:
The future is small. Well at least according to Sphere, who is planing to announce smaller capacity โmini-spheresโ that will hold 5,000 (Sphere in Vegas holds 20,000 for comparison). This comes on the heels of their financial results which saw their revenue drop 2% to $308m. Sounds like a nice chunk of change yea? Letโs scroll down to the net loss columnโฆ. A staggering $126m net loss on the quarter and a net loss of $231m in the last 6 months of 2024. Small sounds nice right now.
โA Working Manโ starring every-dadโs-favorite-action-hero Jason Statham just beat out โSnow Whiteโ for the number one spot with a $15 million opening. Snow White is in official bomb territory (facing a $300m loss) and down 66% on the week. Leaving out the Pandemic years, this will be the worst March at the U.S. box office since 1995, when all films grossed $313 million, and may very well be the first time that March has not produced a $100 million film domestically since 2004.
Not 1, but FOUR Beatles movies will be dropping in April 2028. Sam Mendes, the filmmaker behind all 4 films announced the cast:
Paul Mescal = Paul McCartney
Joseph Quinn = George Harrison
Barry Keoghan = Ringo Starr
Harris Dickinson = John Lennon

Thatโs either a nightmare or dream blunt rotation depending on who you ask..
Music Ally dropped their Spring 2025 Insights Report, diving into the current trends powering the music streaming ecosystem. We read it so you donโt have to. Highlights below:

โLegend of Zelda,โ one of the best selling video games of all time, is officially getting a live action film. The movie is set for a theatrical release in March 26th of 2027, and it will be produced by Sony Pictures. It was first shared in November of 2023, but the final details have been confirmed by the gameโs creator here.
Pophouse Entertainment has raised over $1.3 billion for a music rights buying fund. The Stockholm based firm behind ABBA Voage is โone of the largest first-time private equity funds to be raised in Europe in the last decade,โ and has used 30% of that fund for partnerships with KISS, Cyndi Lauper, Avicii, and more.
Kendrick Lamarโs movie with the creators of South Park has been pushed back to 2026. Paramount has announced the movie will be pushed from July 4, 2025 to March 20, 2026.
Somebody call 911โฆ. Sean Kingston and his mother were found guilty in $1 million wire fraud trial.
