Issue IX
Dear Reader,
Welcome to the Entertainment Column of the Wesleyan Business Review, where we explore the latest trends in pop culture. From Hollywood films to professional sports, these moments of creativity and collective experience offer insights into the fast-paced entertainment industry. Our column provides a comprehensive overview of key aspects of show business and examines the intangible factors that determine success or failure across its many sectors. Join us as we delve into topics such as the pitfalls of Japan’s cultural popularity, the demand for Ozempic in celebrity circles, and more, reminding ourselves that the age of information is also the age of media and entertainment.

Your favorite franchise premieres its newest movie this Friday — you have been anticipating the release for months — but it's 2020, and now you have to make a choice. Do you choose to get out of the house and go to AMC Theatres to gaze up at your favorite characters on a premium 45-foot screen, enjoy a large bucket of all-too-buttery popcorn, and an extra-large Coke Icee? Or, do you decide to stream a different movie on Netflix from the comfort of your home, with your feet up, and a pint of Ben and Jerry’s Half Baked from your freezer, and wait to watch the new movie until it is out of theaters?
