Typically July 4th weekend is a high point of the theatrical moviegoing calendar -- not so much this year. The Ankler's Christopher Rosen joins host Sean McNulty to dive into the mashup of factors that caused a nearly 25% drop in box office revenue YoY this weekend.
At least Toy Story is still drawing crowds, and we look at the atypical audiences that showed up for the new George Washington pic from ANGEL which also proved to be a potent draw.
Plus, the key changes to note in TV audience metrics around the World Cup that aren't being noted, and what to expect from Emmy nominations this week -- and its pending rights deal no one is really talking about.

Another Monday, another huge deal in Hollywood.
WSJ's Ben Fritz joins the pod as COMCAST announces it's fully exiting the entertainment business, spinning off another division, consisting of NBCU & SKY, as its own publicly traded company as of summer 2027 and joining VERSANT outside of the COMCAST gates.
Dive into the strategy afoot, how Wall Street is driving this, the challenge at COMCAST after the spin and the opportunities ahead for NBC UNIVERSAL on its own.
Then, take a look at DISNEY's digital future redux under Josh D'Amaro and a look at this weekend's box office with perhaps some strategy errors at WB on its new expensive bust with DC in 'Supergirl'.
Plus, PARAMOUNT goes back into the 'Jackass' well one too many times, and the curious Tom Cruise push afoot for his new original movie this fall.

Nothing like a $22B deal to start a week, as FOX was revealed as the mystery buyer for the ROKU business -- furthering its diversification from being heavily based in the linear TV ecosystem, to one with strong tentacles in the digital and streaming space.
Business Insider columnist and Channels podcast host Peter Kafka joins The Wakeup's Sean McNulty to dive into the strategy, what this means for Hollywood streamers and more.
Plus, The Ankler's Christopher Rosen joins Sean for a Monday Box Office conversation about the ... mixed opening for Spielberg's Disclosure Day and what lies ahead, as well as the big drops from opening weekend for Masters of the Universe and Scary Movie -- two pictures with vastly different fates at the box office.
