    BOSTON --

    SCORE A SCORE, a Los Angeles-based music production, licensing and supervision company, has gone bicoastal, opening an office in Boston headed by COO Jake Weinreb. 

    SCORE A SCORE’s Boston operation will serve as the firm’s East Coast headquarters, positioning the company closer to many of its existing clients. Weinreb explained, “Boston is an incredible city with a really interesting balance of culture, history, creativity and business. It serves as a great centralized home base between a lot of the East Coast markets we’re working in–NYC, Philly, DC, Atlanta, etc.–so it will enable us to put in a lot more face time along the whole East Coast. As a native Bostonian myself, I of course have a soft spot for this city, but from a business perspective, there’s an incredible advertising and marketing community here. While we’re fortunate enough to be doing awesome work with many East Coast agencies already, there’s a tremendous amount of untapped opportunity, and we’re excited to dig in.”

    SCORE A SCORE’s CEO Jordan Passman said, “After attending the Forbes 30 Under 30 conference in Boston last year, and knowing that it will be happening again there this year, it’s clear that the city is quickly evolving for emerging and innovative businesses.” 

    Having just celebrated its seven-year anniversary in May, SCORE A SCORE has turned out a range of work which includes campaigns for such brands as Google, Microsoft, Verizon, Coca-Cola, Taco Bell and Volkswagen, as well as the films Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Rogue One, Alien: Covenant, The Circle and Justice League.

    SCORE A SCORE’s music supervision and coordination credits also include: Chef’s Table (Netflix), Fearless (Netflix), Rhett and Link’s Buddy System (YouTube Red), as well as the upcoming series, The Dress Up Gang (TBS), Scraps (FYI) and other projects for Amazon and Netflix.

    “Red One” Tops Weekend Box Office With $34.1 Million

    Sunday, November 17, 2024

    Moviegoers were not exactly feeling the Christmas spirit this weekend, or at least what "Red One" was offering. The big budget, star-driven action comedy with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans sold $34.1 million in tickets in its first weekend in theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. It easily topped a box office populated mostly by holdovers.

    For traditional studios, a $34.1 million debut against a $200 million+ production budget would be a clear indication of a flop. Some even peg the budget closer to $250 million. But "Red One" is an Amazon MGM Studios release and they have the luxury of playing the long game, accounting not only for global box office where Johnson tentpoles often overperform, but its life on Prime Video for years to come.

    "Red One," in which Johnson plays Santa's bodyguard, was also originally built to go straight-to-streaming. There's a narrative that the theatrical earnings are not only just a bonus, but that it's an additive gesture towards struggling theaters looking for a consistent stream of new films. The first major studio holiday release since 2018, "Red One" opened on 4,032 screens, including IMAX and other large formats, on an otherwise quiet weekend for major releases.

    Warner Bros. is handling the overseas release, where it has made an estimated $50 million in two weekends from 75 territories and 14,783 screens.

    Still, it's certainly not a theatrical hit in North America. Even "Joker: Folie à Deux" made slightly more in its first weekend. "Red One," directed by Jake Kasdan and produced by Johnson's Seven Bucks, was roundly rejected by critics, with a dismal 33% Rotten Tomatoes score. Jake Coyle, in his review for The Associated Press, wrote that it "feels like an unwanted high-priced Christmas... Read More
