Entertainment Highlights: Disney's New Creative Chief, AMC's $2.2B Upgrade, Gucci's Summer Magic
Walt Disney Animation Studios appoints Jared Bush as chief creative officer, AMC, Regal, and Cinemark to spend $2.2 billion on theater upgrades, and Milan Fashion Week sees dazzling presentations from Prada and Gucci. Additionally, China's micro dramas aim for Hollywood, and Russian 'Swifties' embark on journeys to see Taylor Swift.
In a significant leadership overhaul, Walt Disney Animation Studios announced Jared Bush, the creative mind behind hits like 'Moana' and 'Zootopia', as its new chief creative officer. Bush takes over from Jennifer Lee, who will focus on the 'Frozen' franchise.
The U.S. theater industry is set for major upgrades, with AMC, Regal, and Cinemark collectively investing more than $2.2 billion over the next three years. This move, spearheaded by the National Association of Theatre Owners, aims to enhance the movie-going experience across 21,000 screens in North America.
Milan Fashion Week dazzled with stunning collections from Prada and Gucci. Prada's show featured innovative designs with metallic rings and oversized glasses, while Gucci aimed to capture summer sunsets with a colorful line that nods to the 1960s, under the creative direction of Sabato De Sarno.
