Oprah Winfrey Launches A Virtual Version Of Wellness Tour
Following her "2020 Vision" tour earlier this year, Oprah is launching a virtual version of the wellness tour to help fans cope with the pandemic. The "Oprah’s Your Life In Focus: A Vision Forward" initiative will take place on four consecutive Saturdays, and will start on May 16th. Oprah will host 90-minute sessions on Zoom. They will be free AND interactive. Special guests will be announced. Oprah said in a statement, "In early 2020, I spent nine weeks traveling the country, talking to people about being well and staying focused. It was exhilarating. Then the pandemic hit and shook us all... Now, it’s more important than ever to be and stay well and strong. Together, let’s reset, refocus, and find clarity in what matters most."
Disney Moves Up Hamilton Release, Will Skip Theaters For Disney+
If you missed the big news yesterday, Disney is bumping up the release of it's recording of the hit stage musical Hamilton by over a year! The original plan was to release the recording in movie theaters sometime in October 2021. Now, it will be out on July 3rd on Disney Plus. So, why is this a huge move on Disney’s part? Well, Disney reportedly paid a record-breaking $75 million for the worldwide rights to this recording. So, to turn it into a streaming exclusive instead shows just how much Disney needs content to put on Disney Plus right now to keep customers interested. There's been suspended production on some of their most hyped-up original shows! It's unlikely that a lot of what they had planned to debut this year won't be happening. So, Disney needs a big win.
Unhinged Will Be Become The First Major Movie Back In Theaters
Unhinged, a thriller-movie starring Russell Crowe, will be the first movie to debut in U.S. theaters when and if movie theaters re-open in July. The theatrical release date will be July 1st. The idea is to release the movie on the same day that theaters reopen nationwide, or at least directly follow it. If you don't know anything about the movie Unhinged, it's a psychological thriller about a mother who honks at a passing driver (who is Russell Crowe), but ends up dealing with his wrath from doing so. This news means that Unhinged will beat Christopher Nolan's movie, Tenet, to being the first major movie release by about two weeks. The plan is for Tenet to be released in mid-July.
