GHJ Entertainment Practice Leader Ilan Haimoff returned to The Movie Business Podcast to share predictions in the entertainment industry. Ilan and USC School of Cinematic Arts Professor Emeritus Jason Squire discuss management, talent, production, AI, distribution, exhibition, streaming, sports licensing, other media and the future of television and film. 

On last year’s Crystal Ball episode, Ilan and Jason accurately predicted a year filled with layoffs and consolidation in the entertainment industry. In this year’s discussion, they discuss how 2025 will be a year of surviving the contraction of Hollywood, preserving cashflow and more mergers and acquisitions. Ilan points to rising costs, inflation and financial pressure on the studios making cash-flow management especially important in the year ahead.
