Taylor Swift’s Concert Film Exploits the Advantages of Digital Cinema

Given the amount of complaining I’ve done about Taylor Swift recently in this newsletter, many of you may wonder why I would focus my attention on the pop-star for yet another week. But bear with me and you’ll see that I’m using her, or more specifically her concert film, to highli…

Look What Taylor Made Me Do

I’m kind of relieved this week is finally coming to an end because as much as I may appreciate a good Taylor Swift song, and as grateful as I am that she is releasing her concert film theatrically to bolster an anemic release schedule, the pervasive promotion this movie has gotten has been ove…

Cinema Operators Report Impressive Second Quarter Profits

I’ll try to keep the discussion this week to some positive industry indicators that will take (according to Google) around four minutes to read. That’s the least I can do after two weeks of lengthy dissertations on the current Writers Guild of American and SAG-AFTRA strikes against the A…
