Apple's F1 movie is a hit.
Apple's F1 movie is a hit. The Brad Pitt-starring racing drama opened to more than $55 million in the US this weekend, and $144 million worldwide. That's still a ways short of the movie's $200-300 million production budget, but it's easily on track to beat the $221 million-earning Napoleon as Apple's biggest film yet.

Is this Hollywood's moment of AI reckoning?
For some in Hollywood, as Silicon Valley's AI models have become impossible to ignore, it's better to have a seat at the table as these new technologies emerge, rather than sitting back and letting the tech titans take full control. This, at least, is the impetus behind Asteria, the generative AI studio cofounded by the filmmaking couple of Bryn Mooser and Natasha Lyonne, who promote their company as using 'ethical' AI. Lyonne has justified her embrace of the technology by explaining: 'It's better to get your hands dirty than pretend it's not happening.' The company has faced some backlash, both because Lyonne (tastelessly, her detractors would argue) claimed the late David Lynch had endorsed AI, and because its flagship model is proprietary—meaning we have no way to verify that it is indeed trained only on licensed material (as Lyonne and co. say it is). Meanwhile, James Cameron is on Stability AI's board, and has expressed his hope for using AI to make blockbuster filmmaking cheaper. Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions has partnered with Meta for AI testing and chatbots. Lionsgate signed a deal with Runway, an AI startup valued at $3 billion, to let the company train its model on the studio's 20,000+ films and TV series; Runway also signed a deal with AMC. This embrace of AI, though, puts the James Camerons and Natasha Lyonnes of the world at odds with industry peers who are opting to push back on these would-be robot overlords before they take over.

Disney's stock has bagged an upgrade from Jeffries — here's why
Disney (DIS) is cruising for a higher stock price this summer, according to Jefferies analyst James Heaney. Heaney lifted his rating on Disney to Buy from Hold on Monday. His new price target of $144 assumes 18% upside ahead from the entertainment giant's current level of $124.84 per share. Yahoo Finance data shows Heaney is now one of the most bullish on the Street with respect to Disney. "We upgrade Disney to Buy for four primary reasons: 1) Now see limited risk of a second half parks slowdown from Epic Universe/Macro [economy]; 2) More positive on FY26 cruise [business] upside, Jefferies estimates $1 billion plus revenue uplift; 3) Continued direct-to-consumer margin expansion (0% FY24 to 13% plus by FY28 estimate); 4) View next six months content and sports slate favorably, including ESPN direct-to-consumer launch, Zootopia 2 and Avatar 3," Heaney wrote. Disney shares rose 2% in premarket trading on Monday. The stock is up 10% year to date, compared with a 4% advance for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI). "Disney has failed to grow operating income in FY16-FY24, but we believe this dynamic is set to change," Heaney added. His more bullish stance on Disney comes despite several headwinds facing the media giant. First, the media industry itself continues to face upheaval. Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) said this month it will split up amid a shift to streaming that has financially hammered its legacy TV assets. The company joins rival Comcast (CMCSA) in separating TV operations from streaming assets. Meanwhile, Paramount (PARA) is still trying to close its merger deal with Skydance. Disney has repeatedly said it has no desire to spin off its TV networks, such as ABC, despite the industry challenges that have weighed on sales and profits. "I think it's harder [to split up] than most people realize. And the interesting thing is, for the past five to 10 years, we have been putting them together — linear TV content creates the streaming content. Now all of that has changed," former BET CEO and current Warner Bros. Discovery board member Debra Lee told Yahoo Finance earlier in June. Meantime, Disney is still smack in the middle of appointing a CEO to succeed Bob Iger. There are reportedly four internal candidates being considered for the coveted position, which Iger held from 2005 to 2020 before returning in November 2022. Those four are entertainment division co-chiefs Dana Walden and Alan Bergman, parks division head Josh D'Amaro, and ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro. Walden and D'Amaro are rumored to be top contenders. The search process must be executed flawlessly, following a high-profile bungling last time, when former CEO Bob Chapek was fired in favor of bringing back Iger. Chapek's brusque management style famously clashed with the many creatives who keep the magic inside of Disney's content and theme parks. A CEO decision is widely expected by year end. "I think the biggest skillset you have to have is a gift of a real strategic business sense, because there's a bunch of assets at Disney that are globally deployed. It's multifaceted, from theme parks to consumer products to movies to film to TV to Disney+ to Hulu to ESPN. You got to manage a lot, and then you have to also decide, what assets do we keep? What assets do we add?" Candle Media CEO and former top Disney exex Kevin Mayer said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid podcast (watch above).
