Yes, really, according to Apple’s list of the top apps and games in 2023 (in the US). I shouldn’t be surprised; Monopoly Go came out in April but has already earned more than $1 billion in revenue. It even got more downloads than Roblox, which took second place!

Disney is licensing a bunch of its shows to Netflix, including This Is Us, Prison Break, and Lost, Deadline reports. I implore you all to watch Lost again when it hits Netflix on July 1st, 2024, so that you can agree with me that the finale ruled.
As part of the deal, Grey’s Anatomy, which has been a hit on Netflix, will also be available on Hulu for the first time. I bet it will be a big deal on the Disney Plus / Hulu one-app experience.
