Disney and Pixar’s latest set new records at the box office last weekend as ‘Inside Out 2’ became the fastest film to reach $1 billion in worldwide ticket sales, outperforming the original film’s $858 million tally in 2015. The animated sequel joins 53 other films to reach that milestone and surpassed 2022’s ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ and 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight’ with $1.01 billion in revenue.

In other box office news, ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ exceeded expectations in its opening weekend. The prequel to 2018’s ‘A Quiet Place’ finished with $53 million, the best opening weekend of the franchise. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner’s western epic ‘Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1’ opened to $11 million. The film’s disappointing start doesn’t bode well for the director’s planned four-film series, the second installment of which is scheduled to release in mid-August.

Talk about a mood booster. Disney and Pixar’s emotion-laden “Inside Out 2” is the first film of the year to hit $1 billion at the global box office.
After 19 days of release, the animated sequel has grossed $469.3 million in North America and $545.5 million internationally for a worldwide tally of $1.015 billion. It’s one of 11 animated films to join the billion-dollar club (eight of which are Disney titles), and it’s the fastest animated release to do so.
When “Inside Out 2” opened in theaters on June 14, the film shattered expectations with $151 million domestically and overtook “Dune: Part 2” ($711 million) as the biggest opening of the year. It was also the first movie since last July’s “Barbie” ($162 million) to debut above $100 million. Since then, the second “Inside Out” has retained the top spot on box office charts for three consecutive weekends and became the highest-grossing movie domestically and globally of 2024.

“A Quiet Place: Day One” is making noise at the box office, collecting a roaring $53 million in its domestic opening weekend. The nearly silent thriller added $45.5 million internationally for a global tally of $98.5 million.
Though it landed in second place behind Disney-Pixar’s billion-dollar blockbuster “Inside Out 2,” the ticket sales for “Day One” are especially impressive because spinoff stories usually don’t bring in as much business as direct sequels. Yet “A Quiet Place: Day One” — a prequel in Paramount’s post-apocalyptic horror series — landed the biggest debut in the franchise, exceeding the original 2018 “A Quiet Place,” ($50 million to start) and the 2021 sequel, “A Quiet Place Part II” (a $48 million debut during Covid).
“We listened to the fans about what they’d be looking for,” says Paramount’s president of domestic distribution Chris Aronson. “This origin story, giving them a new city as the setting and fresh characters, all conspired to broaden the audience.

Hong Kong Stumble
A local film “Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In” earned an all-time record-breaking Hk$105 million ($13.5 million) at the Hong Kong box office. But it was not enough to keep the territory’s theatrical business on a recovery track. Data from Hong Kong Box Office Ltd. Shows that January to end of June gross revenues dropped by 17% year-on-year, from Hk$772 million ($99 million) to Hk$640 million ($82 million) this time. Another Hong Kong made film “Table for Six 2” earned Hk$37.4 million ($4.80 million) to make it a local one-two, ahead of “Dune: Pt 2,” with Hk$36 million ($4.62 million) as the leading imported title. The organization reported that the first half enjoyed 143 theatrical releases, of which 22 were local productions.
Eight Times Two
Crunchyroll confirmed that a second season of the Production I.G. hit anime series “Kaiju No. 8” has already begun production. The reveal was made on the same day as the first season reached its finale.

China’s movie box office made a roaring start to the year, but sales have waned in the months since. Ticket revenue for the first half of 2024 totaled $3.4B (Rmb 23.9B), down 9 percent from last year, according to data released Tuesday by consultancy Artisan Gateway. Total admissions for the period reached 550 million, an 8.9 percent year-over-year decrease, as average movie ticket prices in the country — at $6.1 (Rmb 43.4) — remained relatively stable compared to the past three years.
China’s theatrical market began the year with enviable strength as ticket sales set a new record during the traditional Lunar New Year holiday in February, racking up a record $1.1 billion (Rmb 8.1 billion). But that eight-day stretch came to represent a whopping 33.9 percent of the full first-half haul.
Sales revenue has gone especially soft in the first month of summer, a period once dominated by imported Hollywood movies (Beijing’s film regulators block U.S.

“This movie means a lot to me, and I really hope the Nordic audience and the world will embrace our effort to tell this father-son story in an environment so different from ours, but still part of our reality,” said Sieling.
Sieling’s latest film, “Margrete – Queen of the North,” a lavish, stately historical drama,” in Variety’s words, asked t what extent a monarch would subordinate vital interest of state to personal interest. “Way Home” poses a similar question – how far are you willing to go to save the people you love? – in an entirely different context.

Nine Entertainment, Australia’s largest media conglomerate last week announced plans to cut 200 jobs. It blamed a weak advertising market and the non-renewal of a news content deal with Meta, the U.S. giant that operates Facebook and Instagram. It also follows scandals over alleged misbehavior by staff.
That is a pattern that follows other media conglomerates in Australia.
The Murdoch family’s News Corp. Australia last month announced a A$65 million ($43 million) cost-saving program. It too blamed the commercial environment and Meta. As a result, several senior executives are to lose their jobs and the group will be split into three divisions.

Disney CEO Bob Iger has been honored with the company’s 50-year Service Award.
The award features bronze statuettes of Snow White and the seven dwarfs — Doc, Sneezy, Grumpy, Happy, Bashful, Sleepy and Dopey — from the 1937 Disney animated film, along with the inscription, “Recognizing 50 magical years with the Walt Disney Company.”
Although Iger has technically worked for Disney only since 1995 — the year the company acquired Capital Cities/ABC, Inc. — the award recognizes his start date at ABC in 1974 as a production assistant.
Iger shared an image of the Disney Service Award in an Instagram post on Monday, writing, “I started my career at ABC 50 years ago today and the business has certainly changed a lot since then! But at the end of the day, success still hinges on one thing: great storytelling.

To be lured back from his hiatus from the reality TV universe after 10 seasons on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing: New York, NYC-based celebrity broker Ryan Serhant knew he wanted to do something different. “I didn’t want to make Million Dollar Listing: New York 2.0, or a spinoff of Selling Sunset, which has its own distinct style,” he says. “So, we’ve created a concept of elevated reality.”
The new concept, Owning Manhattan, launched Friday on Netflix. In many ways, it feels soothingly familiar to the slew of other popular real estate reality fare like Selling Sunset and Buying Beverly Hills: luxury listing porn, feuding peacocking agents, high-stakes sales. But with its soaring orchestra score, documentary-style filmmaking and Serhant’s outsized, time-tested personality, it offers a polished, insider’s look into Serhant’s new real estate agency, named, of course, Serhant.

Gucci has a new address at The Grove.
After hosting pop-ups in years past, the luxury fashion house has officially opened a new store at quintessential Los Angeles shopping destination The Grove in a prime space formerly occupied by J. Crew. Gucci’s new boutique, which spans over 8,000 square feet, opened June 28. The store’s white facade includes their logo atop dark marble. Inside, marble and geometric shapes are used for the floors, which according to a release, was inspired by designs found across historic buildings.
Gucci’s new location at The Grove, owned and operated by billionaire real estate magnate and former L.A. mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, carries ready-to-wear, men’s and women’s handbags, accessories, shoes, beauty and pieces from the brand’s travel collection, Gucci Valigeria.

Judy Greer is in over her head as the director of her’s church annual Christmas event in the trailer for The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.
Dallas Jenkins, who created the biblical series The Chosen, directed the Lionsgate holiday film that hits theaters Nov. 8. Pete Holmes, Molly Belle Wright and Lauren Graham also star in the movie that centers on Grace Bradley (Greer) volunteering to direct the annual Christmas pageant before realizing that the involvement of the unruly Herdman children could lead to chaos for the community.
“Jesus was born for the Herdmans as much as he was for us,” Greer reasons in the trailer. “We’d be missing the whole point of the story if we turn them away.”
Jenkins helmed the film from a script he co-wrote with Platte F. Clark, Darin McDaniel and Ryan Swanson that is based on author Barbara Robinson’s 1972 book of the same name.

The showrunner of Netflix’s hit fantasy series The Umbrella Academy has pushed back on allegations reported in a Rolling Stone exposé that detailed accusations of him creating a toxic and bullying environment that they say ultimately discriminated against women.
Steve Blackman, who co-created the fantasy series that went on to become Netflix’s third most-streamed show, is alleged to have bullied and harassed staff and as is alleged by the 12 anonymous sources in a Rolling Stone report that details his behavior as The Umbrella Academy’s top dog as bullying and degrading. He is also accused in the report of firing a female writer who’d left for maternity leave upon her intended return with a month remaining in her contract.

In recent years, L.A. entertainment and sports mogul Casey Wasserman has successfully striven to be perceived as his own man. A power player in his own right — not firstly the well-connected grandson of late Hollywood mogul Lew Wasserman, the McA/Universal head and political fixer. Along with recent industry acquisitions, including Paradigm’s music business and management firm Brillstein Partners, he led L.A.’s successful bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics and now leads the games’ organizing committee.
But at his 50th birthday blowout on June 28, Wasserman reminded everyone of the relationship. (He took the surname as an adult; Lew is his maternal grandfather.)
Guests were photographed in a recreation of industry-favored deli Nate ’n Al’s — he and his grandfather’s weekend bonding spot where generations of dealmakers first met Casey. The setup included a sign reading “Lew ’n Casey,” in the restaurant’s iconic retro orange typography, which...

A lot of great cinema is made by happy accidents: certain intangible chemistries and tricks of timing that can’t be calculated even by the most exacting auteur. In the considerably rarer case of “Real,” the whole film is an accident, and one more vital than happy. Shot inadvertently while director Oleh Sentsov — not working as a filmmaker, but as a lieutenant in the Ukrainian Defense Forces — was holed up with his unit during a perilous battle in the early days of the war against Russia, the film captures the horror and claustrophobia of trench warfare with an immediacy that no big-budget fictional combat movie could hope to match, all courtesy of a GoPro camera on Sentsov’s helmet that he accidentally turned on while checking his equipment.
The result is both simple and hard to classify: In his director’s statement for “Real,” Sentsov rules out the terms “film” and “documentary,...

Oleh Senstov’s Real is not really a film in the conventional sense. Nor is it really a documentary. It can best be described, as the filmmaker himself puts it in a filmed introduction, as “material.” That’s because the film (for the purposes of this review, let’s call it such) is the result of an accident. It’s composed of 90 minutes of raw, unedited footage captured by a GoPro camera perched on the filmmaker’s helmet while he was serving in the Ukrainian military. Senstov unwittingly turned on the camera after his infantry fighting vehicle was destroyed by Russian artillery, and the footage documents his ensuing efforts to call for help in evacuating his unit even while they’re under fire and running out of ammunition.
The result, receiving its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, is as immediate a portrait of war as you could imagine,...

The Bear is eating for Hulu.
The Disney-owned streamer says the third season premiere of the Emmy winner racked up 5.4 million views worldwide over its first four days of release (it premiered June 27). The show streams on Disney+ outside the United States and hasn’t premiered in every territory yet.
That 5.4 million figure — the equivalent of that many complete showings of the 36-minute season premiere — represents a 24 percent jump over the season two opener in June 2023 (which would put the latter around 4.35 million views) and the show’s biggest episode over a four-day span to date. It also snagged the largest view tally ever on Hulu for an FX season premiere, or a scripted season debut from any source. The Bear now ranks third among all original season premieres on Hulu, according to the streamer’s internal figures.

You’ll probably be exhausted by the end of Paolo Tizan’s documentary observing young men, many of them teenagers, participating in a highly rigorous training program conducted by the Peruvian military. The filmmaker spent ten months embedded with the recruits hoping to serve as soldiers in the region known as Vraem, where much of the country’s coca plants are grown and drug trafficking takes place. Night Has Come, receiving its world premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, immerses you in the recruits’ training so thoroughly that you come away feeling as if you’ve gone through it yourself.
Eschewing narration or intertitles, the documentary offers a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the young recruits as they go through their paces, beginning with a parachute jump. Every part of their bodies is measured, as if they were prize stallions. They’re shown talking about their lives in highly personal terms,...

The Season 3 premiere of “The Bear” reached 5.4 million views in its first four days of streaming, according to Disney.
That marks not only the best performance ever for an FX premiere on Hulu, but the most-watched season premiere for any scripted series on Hulu. With unscripted series included, “The Bear” Season 3 is Hulu’s third-biggest season premiere of all time. (Note: a view is calculated by dividing the total time a title was watched by its runtime.)
Additionally, Disney says this puts Season 3 of “The Bear” at 24% more views than the Season 2 premiere achieved in the same amount of time.

Barry Diller appears to be taking a look at Paramount Global.
The mogul’s digital media firm Iac is the latest to throw its hat in the ring to make a deal with Shari Redstone’s National Amusements, multiple sources told The New York Times in a report published Monday. A Paramount rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An Iac rep replied, “Iac doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation.”
Diller, one of the most quotable Hollywood moguls, once ran Paramount Pictures as studio chief for more than a decade before his pivot to digital media.

The mogul’s digital media firm Iac is the latest to throw its hat in the ring to make a deal with Shari Redstone’s National Amusements, multiple sources told The New York Times in a report published Monday. A Paramount rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An Iac rep replied, “Iac doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation.”
Diller, one of the most quotable Hollywood moguls, once ran Paramount Pictures as studio chief for more than a decade before his pivot to digital media. If Iac is serious about a run at Paramount, the company would join an ever-growing list of potential suitors for the historic studio that’s also home to CBS, Showtime, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET and more linear TV brands.

Tubi, the free advertising-supported streaming service owned by Fox Corp., is looking to bring its success formula to the U.K., launching in the market on Tuesday, July 2.
The streamer, led by CEO Anjali Sud, the former head of Vimeo, now has about 80 million monthly active users, the executive told The Hollywood Reporter. In the U.S., its strategy has differed from other Fast platforms. For example, 90 percent of viewing on Tubi is focused on on-demand movies and TV series, compared to peers’ focus on live, linear channels. And per the Nielsen Gauge from May, Tubi made up 1.8 percent of all TV viewing in the U.S. for that month, tied with Disney+.
“Tubi has spent the last decade honing our approach to vast, free and fun streaming in North America, and we feel that now is the perfect time to bring that recipe to U.K. audiences,” said Sud in unveiling the U.

Tubi has officially launched in the U.K., marking the most significant overseas expansion for the free, ad-supported streaming service.
The Fox-owned AVOD platform is heading across the Atlantic with more than 20,000 movies and TV episodes on-demand, featuring content from the likes of Disney, Lionsgate, NBCUniversal and Sony Pictures, as well as its slate of Tubi Originals.
“Outside of North America, this is a big one,” Tubi CEO Anjali Sud told Variety ahead of the launch.

Ridley Scott said in an interview with Vanity Fair that he was never asked to direct the sequels to “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” nor was he even told about their development at the time. Scott reasons that his status as an emerging filmmaker is why he got the boot, not that he was personally interested in directing sequels so early in his career.
“I was slow out the starting gate,” Scott said. “I mean, I should have done the sequels to ‘Alien’ and to ‘Blade Runner.’ You change over the years. At that time, I didn’t want to go through it again. So Jim Cameron came in—and then David Fincher—on ‘Alien.’”
Scott made headlines last fall for admitting regret over letting Denis Villeneuve direct “Blade Runner 2049,” the sequel to Scott’s “Blade Runner” that was released after a 35-year hiatus. The director told Vanity Fair that...

Crew union IATSE is revealing more specifics of the tentative West Coast contract deal that it struck with Hollywood studios and streamers on Tuesday.
In a summary of the three-year provisional agreement released over the weekend, the union detailed the wage increases, AI guardrails, safety provisions and health and pension funding mechanisms that it negotiated with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. If ratified by the union’s membership, the new deal would affect some 50,000 costume designers, cinematographers, editors, grips and art directors, among many other crew members, who belong to 13 West Coast Locals. The ratification vote will take place between July 14 and 17, with results expected to be released on July 18.
IATSE has already disclosed the tentative deal’s minimum wage rate increases: 7 percent in the first year, 4 percent in the second year and 3.5 percent in the final year of the agreement, the same formula that SAG-AFTRA secured in its strike-ending 2023 contract.

Illinois is hoping to lure more talk show and game show productions to the state now that Gov. Jb Pritzker has signed a bill that removes some restrictions that kept unscripted shows from participating in the state’s production tax credit program.
The Illinois Production Alliance announced Monday that Pritzker has signed bill Hb 5005 into law, which allows national talk shows, contest-based shows and game shows to participate in the state’s Film Production Services Tax Credit program. The expansion of production tax credits was part of an omnibus economic development bill also includes incentives for quantum computing development and redevelopment zones across Illinois.
Charles Rivkin, chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association, praised Pritzker as “a champion of the film, television and streaming industry,” and asserted that with his signing of Hb 5005, “Illinois will continue to be a global leader in motion picture production.”

Eddie Murphy revealed on The New York Times’ “The Interview” podcast that Marlon Brando told him that “acting is bullshit, when Murphy’s star profile was on the rise in the wake of “48 Hrs.” Murphy was a known comedian at the time thanks to his stint on “Saturday Night Live,” but “48 Hrs.” was his first movie role and started his ascent as a film star. “Trading Places” and “Beverly Hills Cop” followed and cemented his status.
“I was having these famous people that I grew up watching on television wanting to have a meal with me,” Murphy remembered about becoming famous in Hollywood. “After ’48 Hrs.’ Marlon Brando calls my agent and wants to meet me. Now I look back and go, ‘Wow, that’s crazy: The greatest actor of all time wants to have dinner with you!’ But back then I just thought, ‘Well, that’s the way...

Jamie Foxx has provided the first brief details about the medical emergency that left him hospitalized last year. No official cause has ever been disclosed about the incident, although the Oscar-winning actor recently appeared on video (via People) telling a group in Phoenix, Ariz. that his emergency all started with a “bad headache” in April 2023.
“I asked my boy for an Advil,” Foxx said and then snapped his fingers. “I was gone for 20 days. I don’t remember anything. So they told me — I’m in Atlanta — so they told me my sister and my daughter took me to the first doctor. … They gave me a cortisone shot.”
Foxx said doctors ultimately told him that “something’s going on up there,” pointing to his head. But he added: “I won’t say it on camera.”
Variety has reached out to Foxx’s representatives for additional comment.

“Wicked,” Universal’s film adaptation of the hit Broadway show, is landing in theaters on Nov. 22 — five days ahead of schedule.
It was originally supposed to open on Nov. 27, the same day as Disney’s “Moana 2.” On its new release date, “Wicked” is smartly avoiding a box office battle royale against another movie musical that appeals to a similarly female demographic. Now, “Wicked” will get a jump on the Thanksgiving holiday, but it won’t be completely devoid of competition. The film is set to debut on the same day as Paramount and Ridley Scott’s historical epic “Gladiator II,” though there’s presumably much less overlap in the audience and thus, a threat of cannibalization.
This is the second major date shift for “Wicked: Part One,” which was initially on the calendar for Dec. 25. But Universal moved the film to Thanksgiving to dodge Christmas releases like Disney’s...

Wicked fans won’t have to wait quite as long as expected to watch Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo in the film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical.
Universal Pictures announced Monday that director Jon M. Chu’s musical feature will hit theaters Nov. 22. The film has moved up from its previously scheduled release on Nov. 27, the day before Thanksgiving, with the new date giving the movie more time to build word of mouth heading into the holiday corridor. The new date also allows it to avoid Disney’s Moana 2.
It will now compete against Paramount’s Gladiator II, which also hits theaters Nov. 22 and stars Paul Mescal in Ridley Scott’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning 2000 historical epic.
Wicked adapts the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name, which is itself based on author Gregory Maguire’s 1995 book, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos are being accused of engaging in “forced labor and cruel inhuman, or degrading treatment” toward the team brought on to create the app that the rapper-mogul hoped would compete with Tidal and other streaming players, according to a lawsuit filed this weekend in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California states that West and Yeezy LLC, West’s company, hired developers who had created the Yzyvsn streaming service app. For the release of his Vultures project with Ty Dolla $ign, the controversial pop culture player and Yeezy intended to promote the project on the new platform, which fans had made to work with the artist. According to the lawsuit, West intended the app to help him avoid paying promotional fees to Tidal, Apple Music and other streamers.

When it came time to name their new company, Alison Rou and Sarah Tallman looked to the citrus family.
It became an obvious choice considering their respective histories. Rou, a power publicist who specialized in representing show runners and producers, hails from a line of citrus growers and has a home surrounded by orange groves in Ojai, California. Tallman, a veteran of the beauty space with tenures at Estee Lauder and Saie, went to school in Florida and once ran a store in New York City called Grove.
Cara Cara LA was born in November 2023, launched with a focus on gift sets and sustainable dried flowers. With Rou’s industry experience, Hollywood came calling and they were off and running with talent gifting and local pop-ups. Now the rest of the world can get in on the action as the pair expanded their business in late June with a new launch called Casa Cara,...

The Espy Awards is addressing some criticism over Prince Harry’s upcoming honor during the ceremony.
The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 Espys for his work with The Invictus Games Foundation. The Pat Tillman Award for Service was named in honor of late NFL star and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman, who died during combat in 2004. With the award, the ESPYs honors Tillman’s legacy and someone who has used their connection to the sports world to positively impact the lives of others.
After Prince Harry was announced to receive the honor, Tillman’s mother spoke out about the decision, telling Daily Mail she was “shocked” by the choice.

“I am a proud American Jew,” Andy Cohen declared to cheers at the Voices For Truth: Influencers United Against Antisemitism summit in New York, where the TV host appeared first at the opening gala on Sunday and then moderated an “Influencers Town Hall” conversation on Monday.
The two-day event, organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement, saw more than 200 social media influencers congregate for conversations about fighting antisemitism, with Cohen among the speakers at the opening night event.
At the podium, Cohen noted how he’s “been extremely fortunate in my life to not face much antisemitism on a personal level,” but the same can’t be said for his 87-year-old mother Evelyn, who grew up in the only Jewish family in a small town in Illinois. He noted that “Jewish women have always been a dominant force in my life” and credited his mother for teaching him to be outspoken about his Jewish identity.

Warner Bros. Discovery has indicated early interest in exploring a partnership with Paramount Global to combine Wbd’s Max and Paramount+, according to sources.
Paramount Global, after its controlling shareholder Shari Redstone scrapped merger talks with Skydance Media last month, is proceeding under a new strategic plan under three co-CEOs to slash costs, explore the sale of certain assets and accelerate the profitability of Paramount+ via a possible joint venture with another player.
One potential streaming dance partner for Paramount is Warner Bros. Discovery. A source confirmed Wbd’s preliminary interest in evaluating a streaming Jv with Paramount Global, as first reported by CNBC.

The fifth season of Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone — made famous in no small part because of its lead star Kevin Costner — enjoyed the top scripted series premiere of 2022 with 12.1 million viewers. Just as impressive, the show saw double-digit gains in all demos, including a growth of 52 percent among adults 18-34 for a cumulative rating of 5.6 among adults between ages 18-49, or 7 million viewers. And it averaged 11.5 million viewers for season five over seven days of viewing.
So where were all those millions of Yellowstone fans over the June 28-30 weekend when Costner’s big-budget movie Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter One rode into more than 4,000 theaters across North America? Most were a no-show for the film, which Costner, co-wrote, directed and stars in.
The movie opened to just $11 million, a dismal start for an event title that cost $100 million to produce. In terms of headcount, that means roughly 1 million people turned out,...

The theme park business has a new giant.
Six Flags and Cedar Fair have completed their $8 billion merger, creating a live experiences behemoth that owns 27 theme parks, 15 water parks, 9 hotels and resorts, as well as safaris, marinas and other properties across the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
“Today marks a significant milestone for our company, shareholders, guests and associates, unlocking higher value and greater opportunities to deliver engaging entertainment experiences,” said Richard Zimmerman, president and CEO of Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.
Cedar Fair owns Knott’s Berry Farm in Anaheim and Cedar Point in Ohio, among other properties. Six Flags owns Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey and Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California, among others. The companies originally announced their plan to merge last year.
The companies noted that by combining, they will have far more parks in locations like Florida, Texas and California,...
