For many years of Netflix service, folks in need of television comfort food streamed, and re-streamed, and re-streamed some more a little '90s sitcom called Friends. Even as Netflix kept pumping out original content, folks kept returning to Friends, seeking solace in those six buds -- David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, and Lisa Kudrow -- hanging out in those NYC apartments no one can afford. Until... poof. In the crossfire of every media company crafting their own separate streaming services, Friends left Netflix, on a road to the forthcoming HBO Max. Which means, right now, …

Who's excited for Spies in Disguise later this year? Blue Sky Studios Inc., Fox's former animation house that's responsible for the Ice Age and Rio franchises, really hopes that you are because their livelihoods may depend on that movie's performance more than normal.

We knew when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox that they’d likely be shuffling up their release date calendar, and today that announcement came. With Fox no longer its own standalone studio, Disney doesn’t want Fox’s films to infringe upon its box office prospects, and vice versa, so some changes were in order. Indeed, the changes were aplenty. The most notable shifts/announcements have to do with what Disney sees as its two major flagship franchises now that it has acquired Fox: Star Wars and Avatar. Disney will be alternating new Star Wars and Avatar movies starting in …
