About the episode
Matt is joined by Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw to discuss the opening weekend box office performance of F1, whether it should be considered a hit, and what this means for Apple’s interest in releasing movies in theaters. They also look at the rest of the tech streamers and discuss who is best positioned to release movies theatrically and, more importantly, who is most interested in doing so. Later, they discuss the disappointing opening weekend of Megan 2.0 and what this means for Blumhouse (2:20). Matt finishes the show with a prediction about what the most viewed show will be on Netflix this week (23:42).
