'Daily Variety' Podcast: 'Supergirl' Box Office Disappoints, Comcast Splits NBCUniversal and Sky
This episode of the "Daily Variety" podcast covers two main stories: the disappointing box office performance of "Supergirl" (which failed to resonate with younger audiences on social media, reflecting broader superhero movie fatigue), and Comcast's decision to split off NBCUniversal and Sky from its core cable and tech assets. The piece also briefly mentions strong box office showings for "Toy Story 5" and "Michael."
