Space Jam 2 is coming to a couch near you.

In a move certain to shake up the movie theater industry, AT&T’s Warner Bros. announced that its entire 2021 slate of films will release on HBO Max the same day they come out in theaters. That’s an expected 17 movies available for streaming, including:

• LeBron James-produced “Space Jam: A New Legacy.”
• “King Richard,” Will Smith’s biopic about Venus and Serena Williams’ father.
• A film reboot of the Mortal Kombat video game franchise.

Other major 2021 releases from WB: “Matrix 4,” “Suicide Squad 2,” and “Sopranos” prequel “The Many Saints of Newark.”

On-Demand Success: Universal’s “Trolls World Tour” was the the first big release to skip theaters when COVID-19 hit, renting for $19.99 on a variety of platforms and raking in $100 million during the first three weeks it was available digitally.

• After the film’s success, Universal said more digital-only releases are “inevitable.” In response, AMC said it would boycott Universal films at its theaters. 
• NBCUniversal later reached a deal with AMC that lets new films head to on-demand 17 days after their theatrical release, and reportedly gives AMC a cut of sales.

AMC Entertainment stock fell nearly 16% today. The movie theater chain had also announced a plan to sell $700 million worth of stock to avoid a debt default.

Ireland-based Flutter Entertainment is buying out Fastball Holdings’ stake in FanDuel in a deal worth $4.2 billion. The transaction takes Flutter’s share of the online gaming company — which now has an estimated enterprise value of $11.2 billion — from 57.8% to 95%.

Flutter’s U.S. business, which is largely driven by FanDuel, saw its revenue increase 82% to $213 million in the third quarter. FanDuel said it has more than doubled its active sportsbook customers since last year. 

On a Roll: The deal follows Flutter’s acquisition of Canadian gaming company The Stars Group in May, which included complete ownership of Fox Bet. Fox Corp., which currently owns a 2.6% stake in Flutter, will take part in the capital raising for the FanDuel buyout.

• Flutter also operates a variety of sportsbooks overseas, including Paddy Power, Betfair and Sky Bet.

International and U.S. gambling companies have been merging as of late:

• U.S. casino operator Caesars Entertainment agreed to acquire Britain’s William Hill for $3.7 billion in September.
• Online gaming provider 888 signed three multi-year market access agreements to launch in Colorado, Indiana and Iowa with the 888Sport brand during 2021.
• Sports betting and casino company BetMGM is a joint venture between MGM Resorts and Europe-based GVC Holdings.

Champion is making its latest move to re-establish itself as a top-tier apparel brand. The 100-year-old company will be the official uniform provider of the Fan Controlled Football League, which is set to launch in February. 

Logos for the teams were voted on by fans, who will also decide on final uniform designs that Champion provides.

FCFL team owners include athletes like NFL players Austin Ekeler, Richard Sherman and Marshawn Lynch, MLB player Trevor May and boxer Mike Tyson.

Renaissance Champions: Once the uniform supplier of the NBA and some NFL and NCAA teams, Champion has been riding a recent surge in 90s-inspired fashion and increased adoption in streetwear circles.

• Champion sales grew 40% in 2019, up to $1.9 million — an increase of $1.1 billion in three years. Parent company HanesBrands’ forecasts it will be a $2 billion unit by 2022.
• 2020 third quarter sales were down 9% year-over-year, largely driven by a decline in college sports sales because of COVID-19. Still, sales were up 85% from the second quarter.

Game Time: While Champion’s legacy is in stick and ball sports, the company has looked to connect with gamers. It released a video-game inspired hoodie that can be worn with headphones and has a pocket that can carry a controller.

Champion collaborated with Nintendo to celebrate Super Mario’s 35th anniversary in November, is the official outfitter of the NBA 2K League and an official partner of the Drone Racing League.
