Episode description

“Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” both blew past expectations for their opening weekend in theaters. Variety Executive Editor Brent Lang discusses the box office blowout and the Hollywood strikes that could stall any other big openings for months. The Women’s World Cup garnered millions of weekend views too, as did Lionel Messi in his Major League Soccer debut in Miami. Bruin Capital CEO and sports business executive George Pyne says, it’s America’s moment with a different “football.” Plus, CNBC’s Sharon Epperson discusses workplace inclusion in honor of Disability Pride Month, and Elon Musk is bidding farewell to Twitter as we know it.
