What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNetflix's weekly chart for the week ending October eleventh has Josh Hartnett's Below and Ben Affleck's Animals on top, with the licensed hit Ice Age also in the mix, according to What's on Netflix.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBoth of them, Hank! I haven't seen either one, but I can tell you right now they are my favorites, and so is Ice Age.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAlso, The Hollywood Reporter says Paramount is reopening the Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades, a venue Netflix leased from developer Rick Caruso, closed since the January twenty twenty-five wildfire.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA theater that switches streamers! That's a building with a real career, and I'd buy the popcorn.
