Excerpt:

  • ‘Barbenheimer’ ignited a summer renaissance in movie-goer activity, and studios hope for an end-of-year flourish
  • Despite plenty of setbacks and drama, entertainment stocks have performed well in 2023
  • We spotlight major motion pictures set to lure the public back to theaters as the holiday season winds down and 2024 unfolds

Toss in the Hollywood actors’ and writers’ strike, and this year’s trailer is one fraught with twists.
