Live Q&A: Hollywood brought the heat this summer. Can it last?

BI's Dan DeFrancesco digs into the business of Hollywood with MoviePass CEO Stacy Spikes.

Summer in Hollywood has been a hot one. Blockbuster films like "The Odyssey" and "Obsession" have drawn in massive audiences, with some fans shelling out over $600 to see "The Odyssey" in premium IMAX theaters. The horror films "Obsession" and "Backrooms" even managed to outperform "Star Wars" at the box office during early June.

However, the question remains: will this success continue into the fall, and is it sufficient to revive an industry that's been struggling for years? On Wednesday at 2 p.m. ET, join a live Q&A with MoviePass CEO Stacy Spikes to discuss the fate of Hollywood. Tune in to hear about upcoming fall movies and get an update on MoviePass. Don't forget to submit your questions in the chat for Spikes to answer live.
