Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, Apple may want to sever itself from its streaming service, which is losing $1 billion each year.
Then, does the BPM of Lady Gaga's new album mean we're on the verge of a recession? We'll dig into the hashtag recession indicator memes sweeping the internet. It's Monday, March 24th. Let's ride.
Hope you all had a great weekend, the first weekend of spring. Odds are you didn't make it to a movie theater. Disney's Snow White live-action remake pulled in just $43 million in its domestic box office debut, a really disappointing haul for a film the company spent nearly $300 million to make.
In fact, the controversy-plagued Snow White posted the worst opening weekend of all Disney live-action remakes. Surely this will be the end of these remakes, Toby.
I mean, I think you're spot on despite the controversies. People might just be a little over these things. I mean, how many uncanny valley CGI resurrections of our childhood favorites can the market stand? Disney is hoping at least one more, though, because we have a live action Lilo and Stitch coming down the pipeline in May.
So we'll see if this tepid box office reaction was just a Snow White thing or if it speaks to a broader live action slowdown. Now, a quick word from our sponsor, Sophos. Neil, how good are you at solving problems before they actually become problems?
I'm more of a wait until things are on fire kind of guy.
