What, did Lifetime get outbid? They love a good "Ripped from the Headlines" movie.

 

Will this Depp/Heard Tubi original be better or worse than My Son Hunter?

Perhaps they were actually afraid of getting sued this time lol.

With the College Admissions Scandal movie, it was a mix of real and fake. "Rick Singer" was a character in the movie but the parents were fake versions of Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman:

 

 

 

But with with the Lori Vallow case, the Lifetime movie used her real name. I'm sure they have lawyers who weigh the risks and decide if it's worth doing a real or fake version of the story.

 

And maybe the Tubi standards are lower, I mean, they did release Titanic 666 on the anniversary of the sinking...

On Sept. 13, Regal emailed Hollywood studio distributors to notify them of a dozen theaters that would close at the end of business a day later, says a source with access to the email. They include three in the greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas: Anaheim Hills 14, Calabasas Stadium 6 and Westpark 8 in Irvine. The other theaters are in the greater markets of Philadelphia; San Jose; Seattle-Tacoma; Cleveland-Akron; Portland; Fresno-Visalia; Greenville, North Carolina; and Amarillo, Texas. All are underperforming locations.

 

Studios are confident that most of Regal’s locations will stay in operation, although they aren’t ruling out further closures for sites that aren’t doing big business. And there’s always a chance that another cinema operator could take over some Regal locations.

Outside of DC, WB offers nothing that Universal doesn't already have. There's a big risk they could gut the rest of it worse than Disney did to Fox (and you could say WB is doing to itself right now). Hope it doesn't come to pass.

If (the key word there) those rumors end up being true and Universal acquires WB I wonder if the plan would be to add their most valuable IPs (DC, Looney Tunes, etc.) to the theme parks in addition to the already large footprint they have via Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Probably.
