Greetings!
When we took a look back at our coverage in the turbulent year of 2025, we found a treasure trove of stories aimed at making sense of all the change going around us here in Hollywood.
We thought it would be worthwhile to resurface some of the most impactful articles that drove discussion and engagement among our subscribers, and — if you don't already subscribe — invite you to join their growing ranks. Our PRO community grew by more than 35 percent in 2025 and our new Enterprise program for companies onboarded major studios, talent agencies and several industry associations and guilds.

Check out the stories below which touch on topics including the burgeoning Creator Economy, studio mergers and sales, the shifting business model for producers and talent and how AI is making its way into the Hollywood work flow.
In a year of fantastic stories, here are 10 examples of the kind of vital content you'll have access to as a WrapPRO subscriber. Enjoy and happy new year!
