Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Daniel Jones]

  The weekend ending July 20th was somewhat mixed for movies produced by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS  ) , Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ: FOXA  ) , and Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA  ) . For the three-day period, Disney's Planes: Fire & Rescue saw a disappointing turnout while Twenty-First Century Fox's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes continued to dominate the box office. However, the most interesting film released over the course of the weekend appears to be Comcast's The Purge: Anarchy, which reported mediocre results but, given its low budget, may become a small cash cow for the company.
