Nel nuovo appuntamento con il podcast di Cineguru, Davide Dellacasa e Andrea Francesco Berni commentano l'ottimo esordio globale di Jurassic World: la rinascita, capace di conquistare il botteghino del weekend del Quattro Luglio negli Stati Uniti e anche di registrare un ottimo debutto internazionale. Non manca l'aggiornamento sul resto della classifica, con la tenuta di F1: Il Film e le prospettive sulle prossime settimane. È poi il turno di un consuntivo finale su Ciné - Giornate di cinema di Riccione, a pochi giorni dalla conclusione della convention che ha offerto uno sguardo sulle uscite più attese dei prossimi mesi: tanti listini, ricchi di film internazionali e nostrani. Due parole poi sull'estensione dello spazio pubblicitario prima dei film nel circuito più grande degli Stati Uniti, AMC, e su cosa comporti questo cambiamento (che allinea la catena ad altri giganti come Cinemark e Regal). Infine, un commento anche sulla "tregua" tra Paramount Global e amministrazione americana che dovrebbe aver sbloccato finalmente l'acquisizione del colosso dei media da parte di Skydance.

Paramount Global has agreed to pay $16 million to Donald Trump to settle a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. Trump claimed the segment was deceptively edited — and now, as part of the deal, Paramount will release full transcripts of future political interviews. No apology was issued, and the money goes toward Trump's legal expenses and presidential library — not directly to him. Critics say this sets a dangerous precedent for media freedom.  Was this a smart legal move or political surrender?

Today's Headlines: As of Monday night, Trump's budget bill was stalled in the House as GOP leaders scrambled for votes, holding the floor open and calling members back to D.C. The June jobs report showed a surprise loss of 33,000 private sector jobs—far below expectations—fueling concerns about a slowing economy. In Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court struck down its 1849 abortion ban in a 4–3 ruling, preserving abortion access up to 20 weeks and highlighting the impact of recent judicial elections. Paramount Global will pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview, just as it seeks regulatory approval for a $2B merger. At the DOJ, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter is now working in a Trump-aligned political retaliation unit, while Stephen Miller's legal group is suing the LA Dodgers for alleged anti-ICE bias. U.S. officials also warned of escalated cyber threats from Iran and its proxy hackers, who claim to have stolen 100GB of Trump-aligned emails. And finally, Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty on two federal prostitution charges and now faces up to 20 years in prison.

The Redstone family is a controlling shareholder of Paramount Global — one of the biggest entertainment companies out there. (Think CBS Entertainment, MTV, Nickelodeon.) The family is also one of the inspirations for HBO's Succession, which makes sense the more you get to know them. Shari Redstone currently has the controlling stake in Paramount Global. Company leadership was carefully criticized in a recent on-air "rebuke" by 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley, who said the show was receiving new kinds of oversight amid the Trump presidency. The drama has unfolded as Redstone seeks FCC approval for a lucrative merger, and the Trump administration is suing Paramount Global for billions of dollars. This week we revisit Redstone's backstory by re-airing a conversation with Rachel Abrams, a senior producer and reporter for The New York Times Presents, and the co-author with James B.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” the Donald Trump administration set up posters of many of the illegal aliens that were deported out of the United States. Predictably, the mainstream media lost their minds and continued to push the narrative that some of these deportees were actually American citizens. In reality, mothers simply chose to take their children with them when they were removed from the country. Next, following executive producer Bill Owens' resignation from CBS, “60 Minutes” immediately called out Paramount Global in the midst of a merger with Skydance Media. Finally, one of the Epstein victims has been found dead in an apparent suicide, despite being adamant that she was not in any way suicidal. Is there more to her death?   Today's Guest: Sara is joined by BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden.   Today's Sponsors:   Relief Factor: Trying Relief Factor is easy.

Learn from Kevin Bourne, a storyteller and media visionary building an empire that stands the test of time. Discover how to embrace pivots, build for longevity, and create more opportunities by building in public. “I've learned to analyze life and see the good in the bad moments. I'm willing to be inconvenienced temporarily if it means achieving something better in the long term. I've noticed that many people focus on short-term discomfort instead of realizing that if they push through it, something better is on the other side.” In this episode, Kevin Bourne and I explore the power of reinvention and embracing the in-between moments in life. Kevin shares how his journey—from shy kid to political staffer, media founder, and now film and TV producer—has been fueled by constant growth and a willingness to evolve. Kevin Bourne is a cultural visionary and powerhouse in Canada's arts and media landscape. Kevin is a journalist, on-air personality, and branding and marketing strategist based in Toronto. As the CEO of SHIFTER Entertainment, he oversees the production of compelling film, TV, digital content, and live experiences, collaborating with industry giants like New Balance, Paramount Global, and CBC.

S&P futures are up +0.08%, pointing to a flat open today. Asian markets were mostly higher, as optimism over China's anticipated fiscal stimulus and a weaker US dollar provided positive momentum. European markets are mixed in early trades. The upcoming NPC Standing Committee meeting in China, scheduled for 4-8 Nov, has drawn significant attention regarding potential fiscal stimulus measures. Current estimates suggest a range between CNY6-10T over multiple years. This package may focus on local government debt swaps. An announcement of a supplementary budget is considered possible, with estimates leaning towards CNY6T. The outcome of the U.S. presidential election could significantly influence the stimulus size, with predictions suggesting a larger package if Trump wins, potentially reaching 3% of GDP annually, while a Harris win might align closer to 2% of GDP.Companies Mentioned: Air Transport Services Group, Mars, Inc., Brookfield Asset Management, Comcast, NVIDIA, Retail Opportunity Investments, Paramount Global, B.
