There’s ALOT to factor into projecting box office performance and valuation of upcoming film projects. But Bruce Nash’s team seem to be thinking about this in the right way. See the “Pandemic Adjustment” index based on primary source data.

Not surprised. One factor when considering an adaptation has always been how to leverage current fanbase for a book. As readers transition from paper to audio, investment into audio IP is on the rise. Podcasts are just the ‘streamers’ of the book industry https://t.co/SodYLxxuvM

Strategic partnerships have never been more important. The inroads Disney made into India with its acquisition of Hotstar and ultimately integrating it with Disney+ in early 2020 - has already achieved its value with subs surpassin…https://t.co/LjIeYFhd9P https://t.co/GExg3hyNO4

Let’s all us filmmakers learn from all this. Theaters are heavily leveraged and have been forced to realize that they aren’t the only first-window exhibition option anymore. So it’ll be a shame if filmmakers don’t excersize their n…https://t.co/p6zmkZNAaS https://t.co/DI99vNBX0o

I have mad respect for Deepa Mehta’s work and how impactful and timely Fire and Water were to target gender subjugation. Her new #GetOut project can only be as - if not more - ground breaking. #DeepaMehta #filmproductions #filmmakers https://t.co/kTCyTZFzeS

Another great packaging move by Hulu. Been saying this for years: the Educ market has massive scaling potential but you have to dispel old models and expectations. Hulu already had a $4.99 student bundle that came with Spotify Prem…https://t.co/tmyrDV7mxz https://t.co/9Tflr8iLtn

Word of wisdom from Variety: HBOMax reported that WW84 “broke records” by exploiting almost 50% of its subs. This is completely irrelevant. I want to know “[h]ow many people who already pay for HBO but haven’t downloaded the app di…https://t.co/ozSXtl3izg https://t.co/yOrsdP8vRO

Italy is starting to see #production return under strict guidelines. American films, like Mission Impossible 7, are set to film on location in Italy this year. We're set to see more films produced abroad in the future. #TVProduction #COVIDRestrictions

More production sets are popping up in places like New Zealand and Australia. As these countries return to normalcy, films and television can begin filming in a safe, secluded environment with limited #COVID19 restrictions. #DigitalMedia #TVProduction

I agree, @taugenthaler. It's critical to integrate #InfluencerMarketing into your marketing efforts. If you're working towards this, start by establishing clear goals and choosing influencers to curate the right message carefully. #CX #MediaTrends https://t.co/nRmWhve55w

Most sports broadcast rights holders view #D2C platforms as an essential part of their future distribution strategy for live sports and connecting with fans. The sector definitely needs some #innovation and #creativity. #MediaTrends #DigitalMedia https://t.co/X8aHO8DWcP

@debbiebdrutz Absolutely. And the flexibility factor of DOOH is very valuable for advertisers.

Been dying for years to see Michael Douglas play an American President again. He’s made for this. Though he needs “Sorkin-Notes”.

This was a memorable year for television. Thanks to Zoom calls, video conferences, and screen sharing, friends and families worldwide could catch up on movies and tv shows during the quarantine. As we enter into 2021, we may not see any major changes. https://t.co/vcZIE4qXds
