    Matt Belloni, editorial director of the Hollywood Reporter, joins Kim Masters to discuss top entertainment news stories of the week.

    • The unmasking of sexual predators continues in Hollywood. In many cases, as with Brett Ratner and Kevin Spacey, there are huge business implications as well. Warner Bros has cut ties with Brett Ratner, and the next season of Netflix's House of Cards remains up in the air for now as more allegations continue to emerge against the actor.

    • In box office news, theater owners eagerly await the next Star Wars movie, but they're not happy to learn that they have to give back a higher ticket price percentage than usual to Disney for The Last Jedi.
