Star Wars fanboy are you? On paper, The Acolyte sounds like an easy entry point into the franchise. But make no mistake, this is expert level Star Wars. Yes, everything here is new. No, you don't require any prior knowledge going into it. But all of its myth-making, world-building, and Jedi geekery is a lot more meaningful if you're already completely invested. In fact, the most thrilling thing about the series - even for the fannest of fanboys and fangirls.- is not knowing what's coming next. Setting it 100 years before The Phantom Menace, with cool new heroes, enigmatic villains, and a compelling mystery, proves that in the right hands, this 47-year-old franchise still has the power to surprise -- @gogglermy #TheAcolyte https://lnkd.in/grdRbAnz

"If you look at 2025, there’s a healthy mix of big tentpoles, returning franchises and medium-sized movies — just a broader array of things to see." #nato #michaelo'leary #uscinemas #movietheaters #filmboxoffice #collegefilm #independentfilm #indiefilmmakers #filmproducers #filmdirectors #filmmarketing #filmdistribution #filmfinancing

Not a joke: FIU's stadium will be renamed to "Pitbull Stadium." If you're an entertainer with extreme upside via your personal brand, this is a no-brainer alternative to team ownership, right? From Josh Goldberg: "Pitbull will also have his branded vodka, Voli 305, sold at games. He will be allowed to use the football stadium for 10 days a year with the rental fee waived. Additionally, he'll have two reserved suites for every FIU football home game for up to 40 people." ✅ Saves you the trouble of having to tell people you're a big deal (the name kinda does that for you). ✅ Nobody will forget that you're associated with the team (again, the name). ✅ 10 days/year is plenty to have a few pickup games, let your buddy have his wedding on the field, and maybe do your fantasy draft on the big screen. ✅ 40 people/game is sufficient to make the in-laws happy. All of that on $6M in spend - if it creates $18M in influenced revenue within the 5-year time period, you've hit the same return ownership would have created (not trying to get into a tax conversation). #Branding #MarketingGenius #PitbullStadium #SportsBiz #FIU
