Show Biz Business: This is Day 115 of the SAG/AFTRA/Studio strike and if there is no settlement by Friday, there will be no 2024 Spring TV season and very few spring movies.
Box Office News: Priscilla came in third place, however it was only on 1300 screens! #1 Five Nights at Freddy’s and #2 Killers of the Flower Moon were on 3600 screens! Comment, I don’t particularly like Priscilla, however over the weekend more news that her late daughter Lisa was against the movie, tried everything to stop it. Lisa complained Priscilla didn’t portray her dad in a positive light. Lisa was only 8 when her dad died! Priscilla and Elvis were together, 10 years before Lisa was even born! This movie was about Priscilla’s relationship with Elvis. And let’s all remember, Elvis died of a drug overdose sitting on a toilet! So much for a positive light.
Music Note: The Beatles broke up 53 years ago, John Lennon died 43 years ago, George Harrison died 22 years ago. However, last week a never before heard Beatles single was released and in less than a week there’s been 24 million YouTube views and 8 million Spotify streams! That’s fabulous but I was very under whelmed by the song, Now and Then. What did you think? Sales available tomorrow. And Director Peter Jackson says there may be one more never before heard Beatles song out there.
Odds and Ends: Dolly Parton is releasing an album on November 17th and this could be her last. Dolly’s still in good health, but at 77 wants to do more charity work. F.Y.I. did you know Dolly has twice turned down Super Bowl performances. And my all time favorite Dolly quote is, “I’ve got Transgenders, got gays, I’ve got drug addicts, got drunks and I’ve got lesbians all in my family. And I love ‘em all, never judge.” … And this just in, another woman has filed sexual assault charges against Russell Brand.
