    NEW YORK (AP) --

    Tribeca Enterprises–the film company co-founded by Robert De Niro, and the presenter of the Tribeca Film Festival–has sold a 50 percent stake to the Madison Square Garden Company.

    The deal, announced Saturday night, combines two major New York show business players. It gives Tribeca Enterprises the marketing power of a growing sports and entertainment company and offers the MSG Co. an entry into the film business.

    The deal values Tribeca Enterprises at $45 million. The acquisition comes just weeks before the 13th annual Tribeca Film Festival begins April 16. The company was co-founded by De Niro and Jane Rosenthal, who will remain CEO.

    Among the properties owned by the MSG Co. are Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, the New York Knicks and the New York Rangers. The opening night of the Tribeca Film Festival, a screening and concert for the documentary about the rapper Nas, "Time is Illmatic," will be held at the Beacon Theatre.

    The MSG Co.'s MSG Productions on Friday canceled the opening of its high-profile Rockettes show "Hearts and Lights" days before its scheduled debut.

    Beyoncé’s Halftime Show Highlighted Netflix’s NFL Debut On Xmas Day

    Wednesday, December 25, 2024

    Beyoncé provided more excitement than either game during Netflix's NFL debut on Christmas Day.

    Riding into her halftime appearance on a white horse, the 32-time Grammy winner rocked her hometown Houston crowd with a nearly 13-minute performance on Wednesday.

    She surprised fans by bringing along Shaboozey to perform "Sweet Honey Buckiin" and Post Malone joined her for "Levii's Jeans."

    The action on the field didn't live up to expectations as the NFL showcased four of the AFC's top five teams.

    Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce exposed a glitch in Pittsburgh's defense during Kansas City's 29-10 rout in the first game.

    The broadcast itself went off just fine, quickly becoming the second-most popular live title on Netflix to date, according to NFL Media.

    Lamar Jackson and the Ravens led C.J. Stroud and the Texans to 17-2 at halftime before Beyoncé stole the show.

    Mariah Carey opened Wednesday's doubleheader with a taped performance of "All I Want for Christmas is You" and then the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs trounced the Steelers to clinch the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

    There were no signs of any major streaming issues during the game after Netflix experienced minor blunders at the start of the pregame show. The broadcast opened with roughly 10 seconds of silence because it appeared studio host Kay Adams' microphone wasn't turned on.

    Beyoncé's live performance at NRG Stadium was supposed to be the biggest test for the streaming giant and it seemed to go off without a hitch.

    Mahomes threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns and Kelce had eight catches for 84 yards and one score as the Chiefs (15-1) earned a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. The... Read More
