Theater lovers can breathe easy as Broadway actors successfully reached a tentative agreement with The Broadway League to prevent a strike that could have halted 32 stage productions. Actors' Equity confirmed this three-year deal while theater attendance peaks.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros Discovery has rejected a $60 billion takeover bid from Paramount Skydance, as the company explores various sale options. The offer, mostly in cash, valued Warner Bros at nearly $24 per share and included assets such as CNN and HBO Max.
In the world of entertainment, Netflix expands its horizons by partnering with toy giants Mattel and Hasbro. The collaboration aims to bring 'KPop Demon Hunters' toys to life, inspired by the animated film about a heroic K-pop trio. Finally, American pianist Eric Lu clinched the top prize at the Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw.
