On this week’s show we argue why cocktails outperform sports bars for modern social entertainment and follow the money across trade show turmoil, studio mega-deals, and cinema’s pivot. We map how consolidation, new tech, and fresh attractions change what wins on a Friday night.
• cocktails driving higher-margin, faster-turn experiences
• regional conflict stalling trade shows and investments
• Paramount–Warner merger impacts on licensed IP and LBE
• Six Flags divestment and REIT-led operating models
• active entertainment shifting to gamified exergaming
• cinema attendance declines vs IMAX premium growth
• AI smart glasses risks and venue policy needs
• social media rewards linking posts to spend
• projection-mapped archery and premium shuffleboard
• upcoming expo sessions and where to find us
