Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Hold onto your bucket hats: Sony’s action-thriller “Bullet Train” crossed $100 million at the domestic box office. It’s an impressive milestone (in post-COVID times) for an original movie that doesn’t involve marquee comic book heroes or intergalactic adventures. It helps, of course, that a bankable actor like Brad Pitt stars in the film, as a heavily therapized assassin named Ladybug. “Bullet Train” reached $101 million in domestic ticket sales on Friday, making it only the 14th release this year to hit that benchmark. With another $130 million at the international box office, the film has now earned $231 million in global ticket sales to date.
Chernin Group and Night Inc., Talent Management Company That Reps MrBeast, Form $100 Million Investment Firm
13.09.2022 - 21:59 / variety.com
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Peter Chernin’s Chernin Group has formed a new investment company, Night Capital, with digital talent-management and media firm Night Inc., whose biggest client is major YouTube creator MrBeast. Night Capital, which has funding commitments of $100 million from TCG, is focused on acquiring majority interests in “consumer-facing companies in partnership with leading talent,” the companies announced. The firm said it will team up with creators who “will be key partners in driving the strategic vision and future business growth,” they said — modeled on the business ventures of MrBeast, aka Jimmy Donaldson, who has launched a national burger chain and a games company.
TCG and Night have hired Alexandra Moore, most recently head of strategy for Amazon Music focused on mergers and acquisitions, to lead Night Capital as its founding managing director. In addition, TCG has invested an undisclosed sum in Night to “further accelerate Night’s growth as the leading next-generation talent representation platform,” the company said. With the stake, TCG co-founder and partner Mike Kerns will join the board of Night.
Founded in 2015 by former sports agent Reed Duchscher, Night Inc. represents some of the largest digital creators in the world, including MrBeast, who recently surpassed 100 million subscribers on YouTube and is estimated to be 2021’s highest-earning YouTuber, raking in $54 million last year. Other Night clients include ZHC (24 million subscribers) and Safiya Nygaard (9.5 million subscribers). In addition to its talent-management business, the company has launched Night Studios, an original content studio, and Night Ventures, a $20 million seed-stage investment fund. Night Capital’s board
