Ukraine is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest European country after Russia, which borders it to the east and northeast. On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014. The invasion became the largest attack on a European country since World War II. It is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties and hundreds of thousands of military casualties. By June 2022, Russian troops occupied about 20% of Ukrainian territory. From a population of 41 million in January 2022, about 8 million Ukrainians had been internally displaced and more than 8.2 million had fled the country by April 2023, creating Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Extensive environmental damage caused by the war, widely described as an ecocide, contributed to food crises worldwide.

A little intro video, showing you what we do at Thistle & Dram.

Universal is the first studio this century to win best picture and finish first at the box office in the same year. It has supplanted Disney, at least for now, as the top studio in Hollywood. Meanwhile, Toho, Japan’s leading movie company, won as many Oscars as Netflix, Amazon and Apple combined. Is this a fluke, or a sign of shifting priorities at the streamers? On Oscar Sunday, this week's newsletter is my second annual roundtable with movie industry experts about the state of the film business. Superhero fatigue, strikes, bankrupt theaters and the next big movie stars. We touch em all. https://lnkd.in/dP4TkN2K

I was thinking about this the other day - Disney’s acquisition of the rest of Hulu and doubling down on ESPN (as well as the Fox purchase) are all signals that mgmt isn’t confident in the growth prospects for Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars. Iger keeps saying they need to focus, so the easy decision should be to focus on their core brands. Instead they are cutting back their investment in core IP (less content) and buying $10b of more of general entertainment. Problem is, Hulu and ESPN don’t drive Parks or merch, which are the profit centers. Again I think it’s obvious the solution is to divest of linear and buy a games publisher. Expand into a new entertainment vertical that’s bigger than film + TV while acquiring / creating new IP.
