Updated with comments from post-earnings conference call: Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel said today that if there is a dip in content spending underway, his company “isn’t feeling it.” Responding to the question he gets from Wall Street every quarter now, he ticked off all the high-end deals Endeavor’s made across the entertainment spectrum.
“Endeavor is a proxy for content growth and a barometer for overall content, he said — from renewing House of the Dragon co-creator and showrunner Ryan Condal’s overall deal with HBO, to a podcast by sportscaster Stephen A. Smith (Known Mercy With Stephen A. Smith) to Keanu Reeves first television role (Devil in the White City for Hulu). “And it is going up across the board. We are not feeling any decrease in spending.”
Movies, television, sports rights “are the only way to keep people engaged,” Emanuel said on a call after reporting third-quarter financials.
