Hotline Feature – Kristyn Burtt: Wicked’s $150M Weekend, Macy’s Parade Lineup, and Stranger Things’ Finale Plan

Entertainment correspondent Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley on Hotline with a packed Thanksgiving-week rundown. The two break down the huge $150 million opening for Wicked: For Good and what it means for Ariana Grande’s next career move — from rom-com potential to award-season strategy. Kristyn also previews this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade lineup, from Cynthia Erivo to Busta Rhymes, and shares why every performance is lip-synced. The conversation closes with Netflix’s rollout plan for Stranger Things’ fifth and final season, complete with key episodes fans should rewatch before the holiday binge.
