☆ 'Anyone But You' could spark a rom-com renaissance in Hollywood
  + stars: | 2024-02-14 | by ( Sarah Whitten | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
A sleeper hit at the box office, the film is a "healthy sign" for the romantic comedy genre and other mid-budget Hollywood flicks, said Scott Meslow, author of "From Hollywood With Love: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of the Romantic Comedy." In the seven weeks since, the romantic comedy has tallied $170 million globally, including $80 million from domestic theaters, according to data from Comscore. Between 2004 and 2010, Hollywood consistently released between 15 and 25 romantic comedy or romance films each year. Meslow said there was no rom-com "kill shot," a film or series of films that sparked the decline in theatrical releases of the genre. While some films will still be released only on streaming platforms, Hollywood has rediscovered the importance of theatrical as part of overall downstream revenue.

It has made over $80 million worldwide and proven big studio rom-coms can still find audiences. In December, he welcomed the audience at the New York City premiere to "the last romantic comedy to be made by a Hollywood studio." Its remarkable performance proves the studio rom-com is built for a comeback. SonyThe rom-com should make its move now in the wake of superhero burnout"Anyone but You" certainly isn't the first studio rom-com to find box-office glory in the last few years. So, for now, fans of the genre must wait and see if Hollywood will move forward with more romantic comedies.

☆ Third Point’s Dan Loeb pens a pointed letter to Bath & Body Works – What could happen next
  + stars: | 2023-02-25 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +8 min
As an example, in April 2019, ABB chairman Peter Voser stepped in as interim CEO of ABB. She would receive this $18 million regardless of how long she served as interim CEO. Ultimately, she served as interim CEO for a full seven months for the $18 million. The Nash-led BBWI board is now doing whatever it can to protect itself from having a shareholder representative on the board. If this goes the distance, we believe Third Point will show the BBWI board how powerful a good argument is.
☆ Third Point owns Salesforce stake, talks Bath & Body Works changes

Third Point declined to comment on its stake, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal. These firms have said publicly and privately that they would like to see changes at Salesforce. Third Point on Wednesday updated its own investors about other investments, including one in Bath & Body Works (BBWI.N) , where the firm hinted last year that it might mount a boardroom challenge. In the letter, Third Point's founder billionaire investor Daniel Loeb wrote that he sees a chance to work "constructively" with Bath & Body Works to "address its apparent governance issues and help it realize its significant potential." Last years biggest losers included Walt Disney Co and Amazon.com while Bath & Body Works counted among its biggest winners.
☆ Third Point could see big returns from small changes at Bath & Body Works
  + stars: | 2022-12-17 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Business: Bath & Body Works is a specialty retailer of home fragrance, body care, soaps and sanitizer products. In August 2021, Bath & Body Works (formerly known as L Brands) completed the separation of its Victoria's Secret business. Loeb is one of the true pioneers in the field of shareholder activism and definitely one of a handful of activists who shaped what has become modern day shareholder activism. He invented the poison pen letter in a time when a poison pen was often necessary, and as times have changed, he has transitioned from the poison pen to the power of the argument. Third Point expressed its concern with Bath & Body Works' executive compensation structure , noting that excessive awards have been made that are disconnected to important performance metrics.
