IMAX on the Auction Block: Who Could Buy the Premium Theater Tech

IMAX is reportedly exploring a sale, sending shares higher though no formal bids have been made. CEO Rich Gelfond hinted a buyout is possible, and analysts view IMAX as an attractive, defensible asset for buyers ranging from private equity to Netflix, Apple and other tech or media players. With a market cap around $2.1B and a recent $39 stock price, IMAX posted a record $1.28B global box office last year and projects higher 2026 revenue, while expanding installations and diversifying beyond Hollywood through local-language and live-content offerings.

GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is pursuing a takeover of eBay for more than $50 billion, proposing a $125-per-share cash-and-stock offer funded by about $20 billion in debt and GameStop’s cash.

The move follows his January pledge to seek a company to transform GameStop, and it has stirred market chatter as investors weigh the viability and potential leadership of a combined GameStop-eBay entity.

Interior Chief: No RIFs Planned, Emphasizes Buyouts and Front‑Line Park Staffing

Interior Chief: No RIFs Planned, Emphasizes Buyouts and Front‑Line Park Staffing

Interior Secretary Burgum told the House Appropriations Committee there are no plans for workforce reductions (RIFs) at the Interior Department after last fall signaled a plan to cut more than 2,000 jobs; a buyout/early retirement program has been completed and many RIF notices have been rescinded. Congress imposed guardrails in FY2026 to protect National Park Service staffing, noting parks’ popularity, while Burgum said the focus should be on filling public-facing park roles. The department is consolidating operations and moving wildland firefighting programs toward a broader consolidation with USDA’s Forest Service, with the FY2027 budget reflecting these reassignments; some NPS staff were remote and not park-facing, and transfers are within the budget rather than new cuts. This is a developing story.

Wade Returns to LSU as McMahon’s Fate Remains Unclear

LSU is reportedly bringing back Will Wade to replace Matt McMahon, with McMahon not yet formally notified as talks and a decision loom. Wade’s NC State buyout drops to $3 million on April 1, and the two sides had discussions but apparently did not reach an agreement as of publication. Wade would return to the SEC to renew a rivalry with Kentucky, while McMahon’s four-year run at LSU has been marred by NCAA Tournament absence and a 15-17 (3-15) finish in 2026.

Kansas State’s costly contract gamble backfires as Tang era ends

Kansas State fired head coach Jerome Tang after a downturn in results, despite a lucrative, guaranteed contract through 2030. If fired without cause, Tang would receive about $18.67 million. The piece argues this isn’t a morality issue but a money one, highlighting how schools sign big deals they later regret and may be forced to pay out, with Tang having led Kansas State to the Elite Eight in 2022-23 before the program’s recent struggles, potentially triggering legal and financial fallout and echoes of other big buyouts at other programs.

Facepunch COO Proposes $25M Buyout to Save New World Aeternum
