Nov 20th. Save the date.

@BBGreatMoments Each sewn by hand.

That's actually insane when you think about it.

@BBGreatMoments Today’s edition of the log line for a soon to be written feature film.

This list of Cleveland Spiders player names is unreal 😂

@FOS @YellowTuxJesse Live *events* for the win.

@CinemaTweets1 Rocky IV is an all timer.

Rocky IV was once the subject of heavy satire & a lukewarm critical response, but if you ask me honestly, I would tell you that I consider this to be an all-time sports film. This is a beautiful sports movie that nails so main themes. Sly is awesome here too- give him credit.

@Variety High Concept + Excellent Execution = smash hit

Curry Barker's “Obsession” amassed $30.3 million at the box office through Monday — an unprecedented 39% increase from its strong debut that is especially impressive for a horror film. wp.me/pc8uak-1lHjkg

@DiscussingFilm Keep crushing.

@GlobalBoxOffice @A24 Long live the movies. Theatrical bustling.

BACKROOMS is poised to make history this weekend, delivering @A24 its first major studio-level opening. Pre-sales are at unprecedented levels for the studio, pointing now to a massive $40M–$50M domestic debut.

@LexWojTran For sure

@beneverard Beginnings of a winning college essay, too.

My daughter is working to achieve her Girl Scout Silver Award. She had to come up with a project and contribute 50 hours of work toward it. She initially wanted to help the Monarch butterfly by planting milkweed. In doing research, she discovered there is a federally endangered butterfly species that lives ONLY around LAX. The El Segundo Blue Butterfly - the first insect ever placed on the Endangered Species List (1976). Its only habitat on the planet is between the Chevron refinery and the LAX runways in El Segundo. The stats are wild: → Wingspan the size of a dime → Survives on ONE plant: seacliff buckwheat → Adults live just 7 days → Entire life cycle plays out in a few sandy acres Once down to ~500 butterflies. Now there are hundreds of thousands, thanks to dune restoration around LAX. She found a conservation success story hiding under jet exhaust that most Angelenos have never heard of. Now she’s pulling weeds and planting buckwheat. Another win for the Girl Scouts.

Unreal finish at the biggest sporting event in the world. Congrats Meyer Shank and Rosenqvist.

I own one racing hat. Congrats to Meyer Shank on the Indy 500 win!!

@LukeBarnett It’s going to crush.

I'm predicting 90's network TV level viewership...

And an era was born.

@ScottMendelson @jason_blum Just excellent.

@beneverard @jason_blum Aside from holiday-season releases (around Christmas or Thanksgiving), it had the sixth-best hold among movies opening on 600 screens or more. It’ll have the third-best (maybe second, if the $$ goes up) hold for any 2,000 release not dropped in December.

Obsession is the ONLY wide-release horror film on record to grow in its second weekend at this scale — $22.4M, up 30% over opening. This doesn't happen in horror. Grateful to Focus Features, Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, & Divide/Conquer for championing this movie from the start.

@darrenrovell Live sports FTW.

The first two courtside seats have sold for the first Knicks Finals home game at Madison Square Garden in 27 years. Someone purchased TWO seats on StubHub for.... $279,804! I have confirmed the sale.

@thinkingwest Sword and sandal notoriously tough.

Seriously, why haven't there been any big box office movies about Rome recently besides Gladiator? It seems like it would be easy money.

@TylerCWhitmore And a few monsters in the wake from the streamers too. The business is best when theatrical and streaming both win. Long live the movies.

We are currently: - 19 days away from Disclosure Day - 54 days away from The Odyssey - 131 days away from Digger - 208 days away from Dune: Part Three Eating good at the movies in 2026

@JoePompliano And even still, it remains an underrated event.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is so big that it could fit: • Churchill Downs • Yankee Stadium • Rose Bowl • Taj Mahal • The White House • Liberty Island • Roman Colosseum • Vatican City And at 300,000+ people, the Indy 500 is the world's biggest single-day sporting event.

@pmarca Story is the ultimate connector.

@PaulTassi Beyond impressive and a great benchmark moving into the peak summer flick season.

*30%* more? Jesus. And that’s competing with Mando too

@saylor @Strategy Thesis intact?

This week we bought bonds, not bitcoin. The ₿itVac is charging.
