How do you lie this easily? I work at one of the top full service talent agencies in Hollywood. STRANGER THINGS, OUTER BANKS, THE MASKED SINGER. These are just a couple of our “packages” before the WGA shut down TV packaging. Why would you think Hollywood is this stupid? The major agencies are either majority owned by private equity or sold stakes to firms like Silverlake, TPG, EQT, Crestview, or our backers. CAA with TPG sold a majority stake to Artemis in 2023 at a $7B valuation, up from $1.1B when TPG first bought in. Do you think deals of that size happen without anyone knowing the numbers? I co-head our film sales and financing department with a colleague who came from 15 years at international finance and production companies IM Global (PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, ATOMIC BLONDE, A SINGLE MAN) & Voltage (THE HURT LOCKER, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, I FEEL PRETTY). I've sold or arranged financing for 150 to 200 films, including IMMACULATE last year with Black Bear, that went to Neon. All of the streamers run strict retention to cost analytics before making acquisition offers or deciding what they are going to spend on P&A. I know the metrics because I've made a lot of those deals. I've represented actors, showrunners, athletes, music, docu series like the Janet Jackson one from a few years back, and yes, Paul v Tyson. I've alsorenegotiated in success. What do you think Hollywood does, guess? Just because Netflix did not report the theatrical box office for K POP DEMON HUNTERS doesn't mean we don't know it made ~$19-19.2 million 2 weekends ago. Our owner also owns an NBA team and a minority stake in an NFL franchise. The NBA has a $138B valuation. Do you think that 30 teams, all owned by billionaires, don't know the streaming numbers? Or that all of them would be OK with Adam Silver, if he told them "Max won't tell me, if Max even knows them at all, so we can't get the upper hand when we need to renegotiate our deal?" In what world could you or anyone live in this much willful ignorance? Really????
