Meghan Markle graced the cover of Variety this week to discuss her upcoming docuseries with Netflix and the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
BravoCon took place last week in New York, where we were introduced to the new cast of “The Real Housewives of New York City” while also receiving news about the upcoming legacy series with the OG cast members.
Variety released a list of 27 great films that flopped at the box office, begging the question of where does the industry stand on taking chances on great films that may not appeal to mass audiences? This leads to a discussion about the upcoming opening for “Black Adam,” which is tracking for a decent opening, but perhaps not one that will make back its hefty $195 million budget.
Netflix revealed this week that it added 2.4 million subscribers to its base, while also stating it will no longer release projection forecasts beginning in 2023. This comes on the heels of the streamer gearing up to release its ad-tier option in November.
Hosted by Variety chief correspondent Elizabeth Wagmeister and senior awards editor Clayton Davis, Variety’s “The Take,” presented by Apple TV+, is a weekly series that navigates the week’s top stories from entertainment, pop culture and media, while providing expert analysis and exclusive insight on what’s buzzing in Hollywood. Filmed in Variety’s state-of-the-art studio in Los Angeles, new episodes are released on Fridays on Variety.com, YouTube and social media.
