- Disney+ is set to launch a new women-led sports show, “Vibe Check.” The new series, which will launch exclusively on Disney+ in late June, will feature “ESPN’s unparalleled roster of the most talented female voices across all sports,” according to Elle Duncan, Andraya Carter and Chiney Ogwumike, who made the announcement during Disney’s upfront presentation on Tuesday. Streaming new episodes three times a week, “Vibe Check” will leverage ESPN’s most prominent voices to provide a fresh, perspective-driven approach to sports coverage, per the official logline. The show will provide expert analysis, all-access moments, unapologetic opinions and a healthy dose of laughter – all while bringing audiences bold perspectives and unbeatable vibes, per ESPN. m“ESPN is true women’s sports, not new women’s sports,” Duncan said. “And our commitment is fueling the growth of ESPN. Last year, fans spent 54% more time watching — that includes the WNBA, college basketball, gymnastics, volleyball and tennis.”
- AMC Theaters announced a new initiative to encourage moviegoing in summer 2025. The theater chain will offer 50% off tickets for evening showings on Wednesdays for members of the AMC Stubs program, which is free to join! Beginning July 9, 2025, Stubs members can buy a ticket for all releases at 50 percent off the normal adult-evening ticket price. THR reports that there is an upcharge for premium large-format experiences like IMAX and Dolby Cinema. “The introduction of Discount Tuesdays several years ago has turned Tuesday into one of the best attended days of the week, in part because there is a segment of the moviegoing audience who looks first for a great value in their moviegoing. With the introduction by AMC of 50% off Wednesdays, we’re looking to turn Wednesday into a similarly strong-attendance day for moviegoers at our theaters,” AMC chair-CEO Adam Aron said in a statement. With ticket prices soaring above $20 in major markets like New York and Los Angeles, a 50% discount could be hard to resist. In survey after survey, one of the primary reasons cited by audiences who avoid moviegoing is the increase in ticket prices.Join the program at amctheatres.com/amcstubs
