🎥 Christopher Nolan was elected president of the Directors Guild of America, calling it "one of the greatest honors of my career." The Oppenheimer director marks a rare A-lister taking union leadership at their career peak, ahead of 2026 negotiations with studios next year.

🎤 Taylor Swift is delivering a surprise box office boost with a last-minute theatrical booking, as The Official Release Party of a Showgirl scored $15M in first-day presales. The album film is projected to earn $30M-$50M over its one-weekend October 3-5 run, booked directly through AMC's Adam Aron—no distributor.

👻 BoulderLight Pictures will launch a genre label at Paramount, with the Barbarian and Weapons producers leaving New Line when their deal expires in January. JD Lifshitz and Raphael Margules will develop and produce high-concept genre films under the yet-unnamed label at their new studio home.
