Send us a textMay 2025 marked a historic turning point for theatrical exhibition with box office numbers approaching $1 billion on just 128 releases – half the number required to hit that mark pre-pandemic. This stunning 75% year-over-year growth signals what could be the full recovery of theatrical moviegoing after years of uncertainty.Behind this remarkable surge were five films crossing the $100 million domestic threshold, led by Disney's surprisingly dominant "Lilo and Stitch" ($260M domestic) and Marvel's "Thunderbolts" ($180M). Perhaps most unexpected was "Final Destination: Bloodlines," the sixth entry in a long-dormant franchise that managed to earn over $200M worldwide – proving audiences still hunger for inventive horror when executed properly.The hosts dissect several recent releases, finding much to be desired in "Bring Her Back," the sophomore effort from the directors behind A24's "Talk to Me." Despite strong performances and effective sound design, the film's telegraphed storytelling undermines its potential for genuine suspense. Similarly disappointing is Guy Ritchie's "Fountain of Youth," described as a "dollar store version of Indiana Jones and National Treasure" despite its star-studded cast. Netflix's "Fear Street: Prom Queen" fares better as a fun but lesser entry in the franchise, while HBO's tech billionaire satire "Mountainhead" delivers mixed results.Looking forward, excitement builds for Wes Anderson's "The Phoenician Scheme," the Ana de Armas-led "Ballerina," and Ty West's vampire film premiering at Tribeca. The hosts also share news of Luca Guadagnino directing an AI business comedy and James Cameron tackling a dark fantasy project called "The Devils." These developments, alongside the emergence of AI-themed narratives as a distinct subgenre, reflect how cinema continues to process our collective anxieties and fascinations.Catch Alex and Max each week as they explore theatrical releases, streaming debuts, and industry developments with insight and enthusiasm that reminds us why movies still matter.Support the show

Today, Jobber generates over $100M ARR, has raised $180M in VC, and employs nearly 1,000 people.In this episode, Forrest shares the brutally honest story behind Jobber's early days: months of rejection, maxing out credit cards, and nearly quitting.

Guest: Rick Stern,  the CEO and founder of Stern Recruiting. Rick is also the former founder and CEO of Nitel, which is a telecom company that he bootstrapped from zero to $180 million in revenue over two decades before he exited through a private equity transaction. Overview: Now what? That's the question high-performing CEOs ask themselves after they've reached any major milestone. But after selling your business or retiring, you can't just walk back into the c-suite and raise the bar a little higher. And even if you set your sights on a new endeavor, leaving behind a company that you've led and grown is an extremely emotional experience that will have a profound effect on your journey to a new BIG. On today's show, Rick Stern gets candid about letting go of his life's work, the unexpected challenges of retirement, and the itch that ultimately pulled him back into entrepreneurship. Rick also explains how he used sabbatical time to reset and how learnings from his first company are shaping his new leadership mindset.

This week on Missing the Point, Dave, Bobby, and Ray analyze all the action and controversies from NFL Week 16, with the playoffs just around the corner. Kirk Cousins Benched! The Atlanta Falcons made waves by sidelining their $180M quarterback for rookie Michael Penix. Was this a smart play for a team fighting to stay in the playoff hunt, or a sign of desperation? We explore what this decision reveals about Atlanta's future and how it impacts the NFC playoff picture. Playoff Battles Heat Up. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are fresh off a statement win over the Chargers, but should they rank higher than the Houston Texans, who lead their division? With the playoff race tightening, we debate who truly belongs in the Top 10 and which teams have the momentum to make a deep postseason run. Futures in Question. The New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bears are all at critical junctures. For the Patriots, is it already time to move on from first-year head coach Jerod Mayo? Should the Cowboys finally part ways with Mike McCarthy after another underwhelming season? And can the Bears find the leadership they desperately need, possibly in Mike Vrabel? Injury Woes and What's Next. The San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins face tough questions heading into the offseason. Can the 49ers bounce back from injuries that have derailed their Super Bowl hopes? And is Miami's lackluster defense holding back a team with so much offensive talent?

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Ahora que la Reserva Federal está ganando confianza en que la inflación se encamina hacia su objetivo del 2%, el lado del empleo del mandato dual del banco central ha cobrado protagonismo. Eso pone el informe de empleo de hoy en el centro de atención y puede ayudar a los responsables de la política del FOMC a decidir en cuánto recortar su tasa de referencia en la próxima reunión de la Fed. La reunión, muy seguida por todos, se celebrará dentro de solo dos semanas y es uno de los últimos puntos de datos restantes antes de esa fecha, junto con la lectura del IPC de la semana que viene. Seven & i (OTCPK:SVNDY), el propietario japonés de las tiendas 7-Eleven, ha rechazado una oferta de adquisición de $39B de la firma canadiense Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD:CA) por considerar que la propuesta era demasiado baja. Couche-Tard, que opera las tiendas de conveniencia Circle K, ofreció adquirir Seven & i por 14.86 dólares por acción en efectivo, en una transacción que la habría convertido en el mayor objetivo japonés de una compra extranjera. Seven & i dijo que la oferta "subestima enormemente" su trayectoria independiente y no "reconoce adecuadamente" los desafíos que enfrentaría el acuerdo por parte de los reguladores de la competencia de Estados Unidos. Con el objetivo de mejorar la seguridad de los trabajadores, la gobernadora de Nueva York, Kathy Hochul, ha firmado una nueva ley que exige que los minoristas con más de 500 empleados añadan botones de pánico en todas las ubicaciones del estado para 2027. "Las soluciones en tiempo real de esta ley salvarán vidas y harán que las compras sean más seguras para todos", dijo el Sindicato de Minoristas, Mayoristas y Grandes Almacenes. Sin embargo, la industria no está convencida de la eficacia de los botones de pánico, y Walmart $WMT se opone a ellos por temor a falsas alarmas. La Oficina de Asuntos Comunitarios del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York dijo anteriormente que las llamadas al 911 serían más útiles para comunicarse con las fuerzas del orden. Las llaves de Paramount Global $PARA finalmente caerán en manos de Larry Ellison, el multimillonario cofundador de Oracle $ORCL.

Mientras tanto, Shari Redstone, actual presidenta y accionista mayoritaria de Paramount, se embolsará $180M en indemnizaciones y otros beneficios, además de unos $350M por la venta de su participación del 20% en el acuerdo de Skydance.

If the San Francisco Giants had the chance, should they trade Keaton Winn straight up for Willy Adames? They absolutely should, even though Winn has a bright and exciting future. The Giants could really use a true shortstop, and who better than a talented hitter and elite defender who's only 28? Adames fits the SF Giants extremely well, and the Giants have a surplus of young pitching. It might take more than that to land Adames, but he's a player the Giants should definitely be targeting. Among the other questions asked and answered on today's mailbag edition of the Locked On Giants podcast: Why are so many people asking for Adames instead of FINALLY seeing what we have in Marco Luciano? Thoughts on Joc Pederson liking that post about the city? Now that Joc's gone who has the most swagger on the team? What are a few examples of ways the front office has integrated differing viewpoints into their decision-making processes, compared to last season? Are you proud of the Giants organization? Are you proud to be a Giants fan right now, or were you proud to be a Giants fan back when the organization was run differently (Bochy Era), and just hopeful that it will get back to something to be proud of? Do you think a couple of signings/moves are imminent after they can add Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray to the 60-day IL on 2/14? If you were Farhan Zaidi would you rather pay 6/$180M for Blake Snell or trade for Jesus Luzardo in a prospect package costing at least Carson Whisenhunt or possibly Marco Luciano as the top player back to Miami? Ok real question, do you think the 107-win season was actually the worst thing that happened for the SF Giants' long-term strategy, soft rebuild (reset?), Zaidi & Gabe Kapler game plan?

Are you proud to be a Giants fan right now, or were you proud to be a Giants fan back when the organization was run differently (Bochy Era), and just hopeful that it will get back to something to be proud of?Do you think a couple of signings/moves are imminent after they can add Alex Cobb and Robbie Ray to the 60-day IL on 2/14?If you were Farhan Zaidi would you rather pay 6/$180M for Blake Snell or trade for Jesus Luzardo in a prospect package costing at least Carson Whisenhunt or possibly Marco Luciano as the top player back to Miami?Ok real question, do you think the 107-win season was actually the worst thing that happened for the SF Giants' long-term strategy, soft rebuild (reset?), Zaidi & Gabe Kapler game plan?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!IbottaRight now, Ibotta is offering our listeners $5 for just trying Ibotta by using the code LOCKEDONMLB when you register.eBay MotorsWith all the parts you need at the prices you want, it's easy to turn your car into the MVP and bring home that win.

Recently ex-chef turned online entrepreneur Frank Greef shared his incredible journey with us in which he and his brothers started a business in a field they knew nothing about, risking their parents' livelihood, and then selling it for $180M. As amazing an episode as it was, I was reminded by a long-time listener that Frank and I neglected to cover one very important point. One that if you truly get your head around, your business life will never be the same again. It's an inspiring episode 659 of The (14 year-old, award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little more about Real Base co-founder Frank Greeff ... In episode 655, I interviewed ex-chef Frank Greeff, who with his two brothers, created and sold a real estate marketing business for $180M, risking their parent's business along the way. If you're yet to listen to that chat, I'd encourage you to do so. Based on your feedback, it's clear that you guys loved Frank's story BUT, it's also clear that I didn't go quite far enough, as this note from long-time listener Ben Minutoli makes clear. Here's what Ben had to say … “Hey Timbo, please tell me you have plans on getting Frank Greeff back on the show again soon? We went the whole episode hearing about his business and how he built it up from nothing and sold it for a fortune and all the lessons along the way. But then, right at the end, Frank drops the bombshell that he's planning to write and sell a cookbook, to raise a million bucks for charity in less than 2 months, and to do that he has hired a videographer and will be doing content marketing costing up to $300,000. Ohh mate!!!! You need to get him back on so we can hear about what he plans to do and why he decided to go that way.” Well Ben (and others) your wish is my command.   Businesses that make this podcast possible StudioHawk - No generalists, just a damn good SEO agency (award-winning actually!).   Patreon - Join Timbo's Business Owner Membership and take control of your marketing.   Book Tim Reid - Keynote or conference emceeing.   As always, thanks for your support.

In today's episode, I talk to serial entrepreneur and commodities trader Rafa Martinez.   Rafa is on his way to billionaire status — he got massive success by trading natural commodities on the stock market and starting businesses.   But life hasn't always been easy for Rafa.   When Rafa was 12, he immigrated to the US from El Salvador with his family — escaping crime and violence from the civil war. They came to the US with the dream of a better life and future, but had to start completely from scratch working minimum wage jobs and living in a 1½ bedroom apartment as a family.   Rafa has one of the most touching rags to riches stories I've ever heard — can't wait for you to hear it.   Check out Rafa on Instagram @RafaMartinez812 and Rafa's racing club.   If you've ever wanted to learn about how to get massive success after losing everything, you'll love this episode.   In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: - Rafa's no BS explanation of how he ACTUALLY became a millionaire trading natural gas - Why Rafa feels NO stress… even in high-risk situations - And how Rafa lost $60 MILLION dollars in 3 weeks… and made back $180 million!!   Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
