每周，Benzinga都会将最新的娱乐新闻汇编成一篇有凝聚力的专栏供你考虑。请继续阅读最新更新——既有用又不敬意。
- Quality Over Quantity. Endless-scrolling platform Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: NFLX) says it wants to focus on making better films going forward. Nice! It only took them 10 years.
- Cleaning Mouse House. Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) is expected to cut about 7,000 jobs. Between the layoffs, its failed metaverse plans and the back-and-forth drama with Florida Governor and real-life Joffrey Ron DeSantis, Disney is currently in a rough patch (not the cute dalmation). But Needham analyst Laura Martin has an idea: Why not merge with Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL)? Because mergers never lead to more job losses. But "both are worth more if they have the other," Martin said in a note. Plus, the two companies have "rabid superfans." You mean cultish.
- Bezos at the Movies. Meme-stock sensation and the place you visit only to see sequels AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc (NYSE:AMC) is in the crosshairs of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos. The e-commerce giant has long-coveted a theater chain to bolster the prestige of its movies. After all, to win an Oscar trophy, you need a theatrical release per Academy rules.
- One analyst, however, says Bezos, who has a net worth of about $124 billion, is looking at the wrong company. "Amazon does not need 10,000 screens to enter the theater business," Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese said recently. Amazon "would be better off buying "a piece" of Cineworld; a thousand screens are "plenty, and 200 is enough," she added. In response, Bezos, who can cover every American's rent and spent $3 billion on "reverse aging," asked, "What is this 'enough' you speak of?"
- Even the Joker Hates Putin. These days, legendary actor Mark Hamill — who played the voice of Batman villain Joker for more than three decades — is now lending his voice to help Ukraine in its war efforts against Russia. A downloadable app called "Air Alert" features Hamill's vocal talents. He warns residents of approaching Russian missiles or drones and says things like, "Attention. Air raid alert. Proceed to the nearest shelter."
- Miscellaneous. MrBeast gives new meaning to "generous tip;" Bill Gates loves pizza; and Anne Hathaway will work with dinosaurs.
- 质量胜于数量。无休止的滚动平台 Netflix 纳斯达克股票代码：NFLX）表示，它希望将来专注于制作更好的电影。很不错！他们只花了10年。
- 打扫老鼠屋。 沃尔特·迪斯尼公司 纽约证券交易所股票代码：DIS）预计将裁员约7,000个。在裁员、其失败的元宇宙计划以及与佛罗里达州州长和现实生活中的 Joffrey 的来回戏剧之间 罗恩·德桑蒂斯，迪士尼目前处在一个艰难的时期（不是可爱的达尔曼）。但是 Needham 分析师劳拉·马丁有一个想法：为什么不与 Needham 合并 苹果公司 （纳斯达克股票代码：AAPL）？因为合并 从来没有 导致更多的失业。但是，马丁在一份报告中说：“如果有另一个，两者的价值就会更高。”另外，这两家公司有 “狂热的超级粉丝”。你的意思是邪教。
- 贝索斯在看电影。Meme-stock 的轰动以及你只为看续集而去的地方 AMC 娱乐控股公司 （纽约证券交易所代码：AMC）正处于十字路口 亚马逊公司 （纳斯达克股票代码：AMZN）创始人 杰夫·贝佐斯。这家电子商务巨头长期以来一直渴望有一家连锁影院来提高其电影的声望。毕竟，要赢得奥斯卡奖杯，你需要根据奥斯卡规则在影院上映。
- 但是，一位分析师表示，净资产约为1240亿美元的贝索斯看错了公司。Wedbush分析师艾丽西亚·里斯最近表示：“亚马逊不需要10,000个屏幕就能进入剧院业务。”亚马逊 “最好买 “一块” Cineworld；她补充说，一千个屏幕 “足够了，200个就足够了”。作为回应，贝索斯问道：“你所说的这'够'了什么？” 他可以支付每个美国人的房租并花费30亿美元进行 “逆向老龄化”？”
- 即使是小丑也讨厌普京。如今，传奇演员 马克·哈米尔 ——为蝙蝠侠反派小丑配音了三十多年——现在他正在大声疾呼，帮助乌克兰对抗俄罗斯的战争。一款名为 “Air Alert” 的可下载应用程序以哈米尔的声乐天赋为特色。他警告居民不要接近俄罗斯的导弹或无人机，并说：“注意。空袭警报。前往最近的避难所。”
- 杂项。 Beast 先生 为 “慷慨的小费” 赋予了新的含义； 比尔·盖茨 喜欢披萨；以及 安妮海瑟薇 将与恐龙一起使用。
