How Hollywood Will Change in 2018

Expect plenty of massive deals in the year ahead.

What seismic shifts in entertainment does 2018 have in store? The Hollywood Reporter posits seven predictions. According to THR, next year may be the year China surpasses the U.S. as the world’s biggest theatrical film market. Or maybe 2018 will be the year that CBS and Lionsgate merge, in the aftermath of 20th Century Fox’s historic sale to Disney. Or as writer Paul Bond speculates, AT&T’s acquisition of CNN could fall through, paving the way for Rupert Murdoch to swoop in and reclaim some of the power he lost in the 20th Century deal. And in what would be one of the year’s most lucrative deals, Snapchat could become available for sale.
