Despite its world-famous ability to tell fantastic stories, Hollywood hasn't always been able to polish the media's presentation of piracy news in ways that really benefit Hollywood. Through a new program targeting journalists, influencers, and other media figures, the MPA hopes to transform the negativities of piracy into beneficial, reputation-building opportunities.

A significant amount of work has been done on proposed Digital India Act, and the draft legislative framework to support 'India's techade' is expected by early 2023, Minister of State for IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar has said.

The Hindi-language Mumbai-based film industry known as Bollywood has been the most visible part of the Indian film industry over the decades but that hegemony appears to be waning.

Netflix already announced that a certain amount of its lineup — 5% to 10% of titles, depending on country — would be unavailable on the ad tier because of licensing restrictions (which the company says it is working through). But Netflix didn’t specify which ones would not be in the mix.

Over recent decades, theatrical movie release windows have shrunk significantly around the world. In France, however, movie fans still have to wait more than a year before they can stream the latest blockbusters. The MPA flags this mandatory release window as a potential trade barrier, with the potential make piracy even worse.

Dish TV India has expanded its own app called Watcho which brings several OTT platforms in a single window. The app will offer OTT content from platforms like Disney+Hotstar, ZEE5, Sony LIV, Lionsgate Play, Hoichoi, Hungama Play, EpicOn, Chaupal, Klikk and Oho Gujrati.

Warner Bros. Discovery's joint streaming platform, which combines content from HBO Max and Discovery+, may launch early in the US markets, according to reports. David Zaslav, the President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, told analysts that the service will be available in spring instead of summer as previously announced.

A series of big-ticket releases may result in a box office clash and hurt the prospects of small single-screen theatres.

The conglomerate, led by CEO Bob Bakish, saw third-quarter film financials benefiting from the success of 'Top Gun: Maverick,' but streaming investments and lower TV Media unit figures affecting the bottom line lead its stock to drop.
