Sony is putting real money behind Cosm's 'shared reality' venues, domed spaces that blend live sports and movies with immersive tech. It's a bet that people will pay for a more social, cinematic experience, not just a bigger screen.

Sony bets $100M on shared reality venues
Sony's $100M investment in Cosm signals a major bet on immersive, shared experiences, the kind that blend live events with tech. Meanwhile, Broadway gets a starry revival, and Muse goes disco-metal. The day's news leans toward big swings and bold formats.
Big bets on experience
The biggest money move today is Sony's $100M investment in Cosm, a company building immersive venues for sports and movies, a sign that the industry sees shared reality as the next frontier.
Stage and screen
Broadway and streaming both have casting news: a high-profile play revival and a new season of a hit series.

François Arnaud, David Corenswet, and Yvonne Strahovski are set for a 2027 Broadway revival of Richard Greenberg's 'Three Days of Rain,' directed by Anna D. Shapiro. That's a strong cast for a play that demands three actors handle multiple roles.

The Bear's fifth season premieres June 25 on Hulu. The article doesn't spoil episode count, but the show's pattern suggests a tight run, and with Carmy planning to quit, the endgame is in sight.
Music and memory
New music and a tribute: Muse returns with a sci-fi spectacle, La Cruz honors Pulse victims, and a Jackass finale lands.
Muse's 10th album 'The Wow! Signal' is being called a roaring comeback, disco-metal maximalism with a sci-fi concept. If the review is right, it's their most focused and fun album in years.
La Cruz's new EP honors Pulse shooting victims through reggaeton, a genre not often associated with queer grief. The LA Times piece frames it as a political act in a time of rising anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment.

The final Jackass movie is a nostalgic greatest-hits sendoff, still funny, still gross, but with a poignant edge as the crew ages out of the stunts.
