11:48Now PlayingHollywood has once again cheated death. The first seven-plus months of 2026 have revived the industry’s faith — not just in movies but in the act of going to the theater. Global ticket sales have increased 15% from a year earlier and are on pace for their best annual total since 2019. Five movies have eclipsed $1 billion, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day almost clearing that on opening weekend.

Bloomberg News Media & Entertainment Managing Editor Lucas Shaw brings us the latest from Hollywood.
