China recently set release dates for two summer films – Universal’s Jurassic World Dominion on June 10 and big local-language production Mozart From Space (by the director of the Detective Chinatown series) on July 15. That’s good news for the giant market’s reopening, said Imax CEO Rich Gelfond . But he doesn’t expect heightened scrutiny of Hollywood fare to subside anytime soon despite the Jurassic news . China has declined to date many high-profile U.S. films with recent Marvel omissions perhaps the most glaring. At a media conference Q&A Wendesday, Gelfond called 2021 “a really funky year” for U.S. films in China. The exec is especially interested on that market given his company’s significant exposure there. First, “the Chinese had their own backlog of unreleased films so there weren’t going to let in a lot of Marvel films and other films,” he said. Also, there was a “large, failed PVOD experience, where pristine copies went day-and-date … [Read more...] about Imax CEO Rich Gelfond Sees China’s Hard Line On Hollywood Continuing

Shareholders of Twitter voted not to approve Egon Durban ’s seat on the social media company’s board of directors at its annual meeting. Durban, the co-CEO and managing partner of Silver Lake , was one of two directors up for election today for a three-year term.

Shareholder votes are not officially binding on the company, which said that the board’s nominating and governance committees would decide whether or not to accept Durban’s resignation. ISS, an influential research firm that recommends how shareholders vote at annual meetings, had recommended a vote against Durban, who serves on the boards of more than five publicly traded companies (it lists seven including Twitter, Endeavor among them). ISS calls that being “overboarded.” “The time commitment required to be an effective board member at a public company has increased in recent years, driven by new regulations, boards’ … [Read more...] about Twitter Stockholders Vote Against Board Member Egon Durban At Annual Meeting; CEO Parag Agrawal Mum On Musk Deal

TMZ/Getty Composite Snoop Dogg 's done it all -- from Super Bowl performances to being Martha Stewart 's BFF -- but there's another wild moment we're just hearing about, involving Michael Jordan and a pretty sweet offer. Snoop says he once turned down a whopping $2 million dollars to DJ a Michael Jordan party. Apparently, money can't buy everything, as the Doggfather revealed on Jake Paul 's "Impaulsive" Podcast ... and apparently, that includes scheduling conflicts. Even for his Airness. He also ranked Magic Johnson as his favorite "MJ," so his Lakers fandom probably influenced his decision NOT to move things around to accommodate Michael. Snoop occasionally moonlights as DJ Snoopadelic and has become nifty with the turntables over the years, but he's also far from hurting for bread. Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media. Interestingly, he recently told the Nelk Boys he gets $250,000 per feature on other … [Read more...] about Snoop Dogg Says He Rejected $2 Million DJ Gig for Michael Jordan
