Something strange is going on at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The theme park has managed to attract a kind of customer not normally associated with the attraction: millennials.

Jeff Glueck, CEO of Foursquare, published a post on Medium discussing the company's analysis of amusement and theme parks, an $18 billion industry.

It found that the category overall has a pretty slow growth rate of just over 3% this year from Foursquare's US data.

Universal Parks & Resorts, the Comcast-owned company that operates Universal Studios Hollywood, is growing much faster than its competitors thanks to new attractions and innovations targeted to the millennial generation.

Foursquare found that in the last two years, millennials made up almost half of Universal Studios Hollywood's entire attendance.

When the theme park opened The Wizarding World of Harry Potter three months ago, millennial visit growth for the opening week was 63%, leveling off the following week to 58%, higher than a baseline week before the attraction opened. When The Walking Dead attraction launched just two weeks ago on July 4, the zombies drove a 35% surge in millennials compared to the week before.

"We can predict at least a 10% growth for the SoCal park this year," Glueck said.

As millennials are now the world's largest demographic, building relevant products to get them "off the couch and into theme parks" is key, according to Glueck.

"More broadly, Universal represents a case study for companies hoping to reach this critical demographic," said Glueck.

Foursquare, the company behind social-media check-in app Swarm, has had success with predictive insight in the past with its own unique set of data. The tech company used foot-traffic data, which includes explicit "check ins" and passive location trails to accurately predict footfall, and therefore sales, at McDonald's, Chipotle and Apple.

Interestingly, not only can Foursquare use location intelligence to predict a rise in visit share and ticket sales, but the company can look at the theme park's dynamic pricing structure aligned with visit data to pinpoint the best days of the years to visit various parks.

In the case of Universal Studios Hollywood, the company found the fewest crowds and cheapest pricing through the remainder of 2016 to be in early December. If that wasn't precise enough, it pinpointed the single best date to be December 8, 2016.

For summertime visitors, weekdays during the second half of August are predicted to be the best days to visit.

The service offered by Foursquare is evidence of the growing use of "alternative data" on Wall Street. This world comprises obscure data sets that can be turned into tradable information. The sets range from weather reports and web traffic to satellite imagery and social-media data.

Alternative data is increasingly being used by traditional long-short, quantitative, hedge, pension, and mutual funds to track industries ranging from construction and retail to tech and real estate.

NOW WATCH: Universal’s biggest box office flop is being pulled from theaters after only 2 weeks

Pandora is down almost 8% in after-hours trading after mildly disappointing Q2 results.

Pandora lost 12 cents per share, excluding certain items, slightly better than analyst estimates of a 14 cents-per-share loss. But the music streaming company only generated $343 million in revenue, missing analyst estimates of $351.3 million.

Pandora also lowered its revenue guidance for Q3, expecting revenue between $360 million and $370 million, below the $378 million expected by analysts. 

Prior to reporting its results, Pandora's stock had spiked as much as 10% after a Wall Street Journal report that Pandora's board rejected an offer to sell itself for $15 dollars a share, a deal that would have valued the company at over $3.4 billion.

The offer came from Liberty Media CEO Greg Maffei, whose company controls Sirius XM, but was more of a "fishing expedition" than a formal offer, sources told the Journal. Pandora's board "rebuffed the advance," primarily because it believes the company's value is closer to $20 per share.

Here is a chart of Pandora's up and down day of trading:

If you want to be a Pokémon Go master, you have to learn from a Pokémon Go master.

Earlier on Thursday, Brooklyn-based Nick Johnson became the first Pokémon Go player to publicly confirm that he had caught all 142 unique Pokémon that are currently available in the United States. 

It took a lot of doing, including at one point hiring an Uber to drive him in circles to catch one of the very last Pokémon he needed.

Here are Johnson's top tips for catching 'em all — as well as some of the crazy Pokémon adventures he had along the way.

SEE ALSO: Here are the crazy things that this guy did to become the first person to catch all of the Pokémon in the US

Johnson's first piece of advice: Buy a comfortable pair of walking shoes. He walked around 8 miles a day, every day, after work in search of distant Pokémon. And he says the game is better at recognizing a jogging pace than a slow walk.

If you're trying to hatch eggs, walking should be done in a straight line. As Johnson explains, the game measures distance by periodically checking in on your distance and calculating the straight-line distance between where you were versus where you are.

So if you just walk in little circles, the game won't accurately measure how far you've gone, and you'll have wasted your time and energy. "I learned that the hard way," Johnson says.

No one expected this!

During Marvel's Netflix panel at San Diego Comic-Con fans were surprised with the first teaser trailer for its big superhero crossover event — "The Defenders."

"The Avengers"-like group will bring together Netflix's superheroes Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. The latter will be getting his own Netflix series in the future starring Finn Jones ("Game of Thrones").

The teaser doesn't show much, but it unites together letters from the various logos of the other superhero shows to spell out "defend". Here's the one sentence description for the event series released by Netflix: "Marvel's The Defenders will unite Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, as they face their biggest threat yet."

NOW WATCH: Disney just released 3 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage from the new 'Star Wars' movie

Channel 5, the British commercial broadcaster owned by Viacom, has an unusual plan for boosting the number of people using its online video service – launching a TV channel.

Channel 5 wants to get My5 TV on air as early as next month and a source with knowledge of the launch said it will showcase the best of the broadcaster’s video-on-demand service, My5.

This means it will signpost how people can watch Channel 5's biggest shows online and encourage them to sign-up to receive more personalised viewing recommendations. It is a unique idea, which has not been attempted by any other broadcaster in the UK.

The channel will replace 5+24, which simply repeats Channel 5’s schedule on a 24-hour time delay, and will be carefully curated by a channel manager – a role the broadcaster is currently recruiting for.

A Channel 5 spokesman declined to comment, but the broadcaster is expected to announce the service imminently. It may characterise My5 TV as more of an evolution of 5+24 rather than a new channel, but to an average viewer it will look like a new service.

The aim is that My5 TV builds on topical moments on Channel 5 and its sister stations 5Star, 5USA, and Spike. This could mean more opportunities to watch shows including the UK’s version of "Lip Sync Battle," "Big Brother," and high-profile US drama acquisitions, such as Fox’s "The X Files."

Business Insider’s source said My5 TV could be compared to 4seven, a similar channel owned by Channel 5’s rival commercial broadcaster Channel 4. 4seven repeats the most popular and talked-about Channel 4 shows of the week in a specially curated schedule, but My5 TV will go beyond this and promote shows and box sets from over a longer period of time.

My5 TV will also have a “modest” content budget for commissions and acquisitions, according to our TV insider. This means it could order original shows to complement the other content it pulls in from My5.

When My5 TV does replace 5+24, it will be available on slot 55 on Freeview and 175 on Sky television. The highest-rated programme on 5+24 in 2016 so far has been film "Olympus Has Fallen," which pulled in an audience of 250,000 in April. "Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away" was the best original show, with 126,000 viewers last month.

Viacom acquired Channel 5 from British media mogul Richard Desmond for £463 million (£612 million) in 2014. The company’s latest earnings showed that its revenue stood at £322.7 million (£426 million) in the year to September 2015, helping deliver an operating profit of £21 million (£28 million).

On stage at the first ever "Silicon Valley" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, actor Zach Woods slipped on a green and gold jacket, with multi-colored buttons running down the front and rats on the sleeves. A smile broke out on his face.

"The truth is, I actually really like it," Woods, who plays Jared on the HBO show, told the Comic-Con crowd. "I know the joke is that it's ugly, but I think it's just a blind spot of mine.

The infamous Pied Piper bomber jacket debuted on season three of "Silicon Valley," much to the startup's dismay and audience's delight. It is by all accounts, except Jared's, a crime of fashion.

At the panel on Thursday, the show's cast revealed the origins behind the jacket.

Thomas Middleditch, who plays Richard, warned his castmates might deny it, but the jacket was actually inspired by their on-set escapades.

"We thought it would be pretty cool to officially declare ourselves a gang," Middleditch said, half-jokingly. "Our gang name was called the Rude Boys. Of course, any Rude Gang would need a jacket."

The guys found a custom printing company online and ordered sweatshirt-material jackets emblazoned with bicycles on the back, according to Middleditch and Woods. They geared up and rode out into the studio lot on small electric scooters.

"For obnoxious jackets, we needed an even more obnoxious vehicle," Woods said.

Sadly, the gig was up after the group's first outing.

"We were not rude because we were like, 'Let's take these scooters out for a spin on the Sony's Pictures lot because whatever, we're rude.' We started doing it and within 30 seconds, a security guard was like, 'You can't ride those here,' and we said, 'We're sorry, we're so sorry,'" Middleditch said, in his most earnest voice.

The experience made for good inspiration for "something terrible on the show," he shared.

Indeed, it was Martin Starr's character Gilfoyle who said, "If my mother was naked and dead in the street I would not cover her body with that jacket."

NOW WATCH: Bumble founder: Here's what's seriously wrong with the growing trend in Silicon Valley called 'brogramming'

After helping to unleash Stephen Colbert's old "Colbert Report" character earlier this week, Jon Stewart came out of retirement once again to take over CBS' "Late Show" during its live episode after the Republican National Convention on Thursday.

The former "Daily Show" host took the opportunity to displace Colbert for some choice words on GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, the "right-wing media," and Republicans in general.

"Well, the convention's over," Stewart began. "I thought Donald Trump was going to speak. Ivanka [Trump] said he was going to come out. She said he was really compassionate and generous. But then this angry groundhog came out and he just vomited all over everybody for an hour."

Stewart boiled down the convention's messages down to three points.

"One, jail your political opponent," he said. "Inject Rudy Giuliani with a speedball and Red Bull enema. And then three, spend the rest of the time scaring the holy bejeezus out of everybody."

But Stewart was just warming up. He really wanted to point out what he saw as the hypocrisy of Republicans backing a candidate that "embodies all the things that they have for years said that they hated about Barack Obama."

He then played a montage of things Republicans have criticized Obama for in the past, including a lack of government experience, and for being divisive, thin-skinned, authoritarian, and "a narcissist with no grip on reality."

His attention then turned to the "right-wing media" and specifically Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity, whom Stewart referred to as "Lumpy." In a series of clips, he showed how the conservative host said one characteristic was bad about Obama and then praised the same trait in Trump.

"So here's where we are," Stewart concluded. "Either 'Lumpy' and his friends are lying about being bothered by thin-skinned, authoritarian, less-than-Christian, readers of [teleprompter] being president, or they don't care as long as it's their thin-skinned, [teleprompter-reading], authoritarian, tyrant narcissist.

"You just want that person to give you your country back because you feel you're this country's rightful owners. There's only one problem with that: This country isn't yours. You don't own it. It never was."

NOW WATCH: Jon Stewart just ranted against Republicans who have praised Trump for the same things they have bashed Obama on

On Thursday night, the Republican National Convention played The Beatles' 1969 song "Here Comes The Sun" as an introduction to Ivanka Trump's speech, and the estate of the late singer George Harrison, who wrote the song, took to Twitter to condemn the convention's use of it.

Noting that Trump was not authorized to play the song, George Harrison's account tweeted that the song's appearance at the convention was "offensive" and "against the wishes of the George Harrison estate." 

The account then followed up with a pointed jab at Trump, joking that the Republican nominee might have been permitted to use Harrison's 1970 solo song "Beware of Darkness."

Earlier this week, the Trump campaign faced backlash from the band Queen for using their song "We Are The Champions" as Trump's introduction on the first night of the convention. 

In the past year, Adele, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and a number of other artists have spoken out against Trump's unauthorized use of their music on the campaign trail.

NOW WATCH: Nobody wants to buy 50 Cent's massive $6 million mansion

Following Donald Trump's speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, in which he accepted the party's presidential nomination, "The Daily Show" aired a live episode. Along with commentary on Trump's speech and other headlines from the convention, the show also aired a segment that parodied the life of Trump.

Narrated by Rosie O'Donnell and titled "The Very Very Incredible Deal," the almost seven-minute faux biography touched on highlights in Trump's life, like attending the New York Military Academy as a youth, his rise in the real-estate world, and becoming a reality-TV star with the show "The Apprentice" — but all done with a comedic twist.

Or, as host Trevor Noah called it while introducing the segment, "just slightly edited for clarity."

That included statements like Trump showing his great negotiating talents as a youth by "settling a dispute with his music teacher by punching him in the face," said O'Donnell. Or how his Trump-branded properties around New York City in the 1980s "turned a town of rundown eyesores into the home of the country's classiest eyesores."

O'Donnell, whom Trump once called "a fat pig," obviously loves to mock Trump anytime she can, and the "movie" even pauses for a second so she can throw a few expletives at the Republican nominee following a piece of footage where Trump insults her.

Netflix has released a staggering number of original shows and movies in 2016 already, and the second half is shaping up to be equally packed.

The company has said that it plans to roughly double its output of original shows to 31 in 2016. And that doesn't count movies, documentaries, and kids programming.

Netflix has repeatedly said that original content is its future, and this year will show whether it can maintain the high quality of its shows as it scales up production.

But what is Netflix actually putting out in 2016?

We put together a list of shows and movies that have either been released already in 2016 or have been confirmed to be released in 2016 — we excluded kids shows and documentaries. For each, you'll see a release date (if available), a description, and who is starring.

Leslie Jones says that she's happy she stood up for herself and helped convince Twitter to ban the people who harassed her with racist comments on the social-media platform.

"What's scary about the whole thing is the insults didn't hurt me. Unfortunately, I'm used to the insults," Jones said on Thursday's episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers."

"What scared me was the injustice of a group of people jumping against you for such a sick cause," she continued. "Everybody has an opinion, and it all comes at you at one time. They really believe in what they believe in, and it's so mean. It's so gross and mean. So it was one of those things where if I hadn't said anything, nobody would've ever known about this."

Earlier this week, the comedian was hammered with hundreds of racist and sexist tweets attached to her role on the new "Ghostbusters" movie. Jones retweeted some of the vicious tweets.

And although Jones tweeted, "I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart" on Tuesday, she made it clear on the late-night show that she simply signed out to "deal with what was going on," which she says is different than quitting the platform.

Jones said that Facebook was quick to act on the harassment, but it took some time for Twitter to come around.

"Twitter, I was on them," she said. "It's like, that's my favorite restaurant. I love the food there. But three people just got shot in front of me. Y'all need to get some security!"

In the end, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey reached out to Jones. Together, they identified the Twitter mob's ringleaders, including Milo Yiannopoulos, an editor at the conservative news website Breitbart.

"We got a whole bunch of accounts taken off of Twitter," Jones said. "You know, it's not right. It's not right to gang up on anybody."

"Girls" star Alex Karpovsky knows what it's like to be a struggling artist.

The actor, who plays Ray on the HBO show lauded for its portrayal of modern New York City millennials, told Wealthsimple that he moved to New York after college to pursue dreams of becoming a filmmaker.

He quickly found that investing his own money — up to $15,000 per film — was the only way to produce his own work, and that consequently, he could barely make ends meet. He'd stay with his parents in upstate New York for months to amass the funds, but found the uncertainty discouraging.

He told Wealthsimple:

"I was 30 years old, and I'd see guys I went to high school with hanging out at the gas station, still living in the small town where we'd all grown up, and I'd think to myself, What's really separating me from them? Just this delusional dream I'm holding on to? Ultimately, I decided I'd do whatever it took to get back to New York City. And that's when I borrowed money from the loan shark."

If debt can be separated into "good" and "bad," personal loans from anyone you could describe as a "shark" falls into the latter category. That's largely because of the egregiously high interest rates these lenders charge should you fail to make your payments. But for Karpovsky, the $10,000 he was able to borrow made all the difference.

He told Wealthsimple:

"My mom knows this loan shark in Lowell, Massachusetts, an old Russian woman who will give you money but charges crazy interest, like 20% a year. There are huge penalties if you don't make your payments, and the interest can rise to 25%, even 30%. But when I was 30, I found myself desperate enough, and I went to her. My mom brokered the deal and got me $10,000, enough to buy me one more new start. In a way, that made the difference in my life."

He was able to move back to New York and pay the loan back as planned through freelance editing jobs. He then landed a recurring role on "Girls," a "lucky break" that put him in the black for years. However, he said, he's always been "aware that the money’s going to run out." He's 40 now, and even after years of financial stability, he still keeps the struggling artist mindset: Where will the next paycheck come from?

This isn't to say that personal loans, especially those from loan sharks, are generally a financially prudent option. If you can't make your payments, these loans — much like missed credit card payments — can quickly balloon into unmanageable levels of high-interest debt. However, for Karpovsky, that "one new start" made all the difference.

All the talk about James Bond recently has revolved around who is going to replace current 007 Daniel Craig, though there has been no official word that he's leaving the franchise just yet (despite his comments). 

Now it sounds like everyone involved in the franchise is hitting the pause button, as it seems the twenty-fifth Bond movie won't hit screens until 2018. 

Longtime producer of the franchise, Barbara Broccoli, is currently in production on the movie "Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool," starring Jamie Bell and Annette Bening, and according to The Sun, a source close to Broccoli said the producer is planning on producing two other projects before jumping back into Bond.

"It will give her time to work out a script and try to convince Daniel [Craig] to maybe return," the source told The Sun.

Craig will next be seen in the TV series, "Purity," in 2017 and is attached to the movie, "Logan Lucky," which is supposedly being directed by Steven Soderbergh and would mark his return to feature film directing after a now four-year retirement.  

If we take all this at face value, late 2018 sounds about right for a Bond movie to come out if all these plans happen. 

But Broccoli could postpone one of the films she wants to make next year, and Soderbergh likely isn't on a strict timetable to make another feature (if he is at all). What's certain is that neither Broccoli nor Craig are itching to get back at making a Bond movie in the immediate future. 

The most recent 007 movie, "Spectre," grossed $880.6 million worldwide at the box office.

Sony, the studio behind the Bond franchise, did not return Business Insider's request to comment.

Mystery shrouds the Illuminati, a legendary group of the rich, powerful, and extremely secretive. The original Bavarian Illuminati was a secret society that was rumored to control world affairs in the 1700s, including the French Revolution. More modern-day interpretations of the cult are thought to control much of pop culture.

I recently got a peek into this mysterious world during the immersive theater performance known as The Illuminati Ball, which took place at a majestic estate in the woods of Connecticut. Although I've been sworn to secrecy by a man wearing a mouse mask, who held a sword against the palm of my hands while I was blindfolded, I can tell you that it was a night I won't soon forget.

This multi-sensory theater show, which promises its guests a discovery of the "light of scientific truth" was written and directed by Cynthia Von Buhler, an artist of many mediums who is inspired by the absurd and surreal. 

At $450 a ticket, the Illuminati Ball is the most expensive immersive theater show out right now — however, the limousine transportation, multi-course meal, milk baths, swimming, trapeze dancers, and other secret experiences explain the higher price point for this piece. We got a special invite from Von Buhler herself, and here's as much information as I can divulge of my experience.

SEE ALSO: This casino once hosted glamorous royal parties — but now it sits completely abandoned

Von Buhler's Illuminati Ball was greatly inspired by one of the strangest dinner parties ever hosted by Marie-Hélène de Rothschild, of the elite Rothschild family, in 1972. Leaked photos from the evening reveal guests such as Salvador Dali and Audrey Hepburn dressed in elaborate, surrealist garb. Mrs. Rothschild herself greeted guests in a white gown and stag's head with diamond tears.

Conspiracy theorists have written about the symbolism at the event, which connected the Rothschild family to the Illuminati. Dismembered baby dolls were placed on the dining tables, supposedly meaning to represent human sacrifice, and the outside of the chateau was lit in a blazing red, representing the satanic rituals that were to be done inside. All of these themes were touched on during the Illuminati Ball that I attended.

Von Buhler's rendition was clearly inspired by the Rothschilds' party. We were picked up by a limousine on the Upper East Side and taken on an hour-long ride to Connecticut. The blinds were drawn, and champagne was served. Near the end of our trip, all phones were collected, and there was no way to know where exactly we were. When we arrived, we were greeted by our hosts, the Pig King and his wife. The initiation tests began immediately.

Speaking of car accidents, a 28-year-old driver smashed his car into a tree because he was distracted playing "Pokémon GO" in Auburn, New York. Just look at that wreckage.

The driver "admitted to actively playing the 'Pokémon GO' game while driving causing him to become distracted and run off the roadway into a tree," the Auburn Police Department statement reads. The driver is alive and well.

Two men had their eyes so glued to their phones playing "Pokémon GO" that they didn't notice they were about to fall off a cliff! That's right, an actual cliff.

The men were walking along the bluffs in Encinitas, California when they fell off. One man "fell about 50 feet down the cliff" while the other fell 80 to 90 feet to the beach below. Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt.

There are few car collections that can rival Jay Leno's.

After Leno's 20-year run as host of the "Tonight Show" came to an end, the comedy legend turned his attention to his NBC-produced web series called "Jay Leno's Garage". 

Located in a series of large hangars at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California, Leno's Big Dog Garage has been such a sensation that his NBC-produced web series on its contents has become one of the most popular shows on Youtube.

The web series became so successful that the Leno returned to TV in 2015 with an expanded version of the show on CNBC. 

This summer, "Jay Leno's Garage" is back on CNBC for a second season. 

Leno's collection, estimated to include more than 150 cars and motorcycles, ranges from daily drivers to Smithsonian-worthy pieces. Most of the cars are restored and looked after by Leno and a small team of mechanics. Even more amazing, every car in garage is licensed and legal to drive. 

Here are 25 of the most interesting and historically significant autos in Leno's collection.

This weekend is the inaugural Panorama music festival on Randall's Island in New York City.

Throughout the three-day festival, over 50 musicians will perform, with headliners like Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem, and Kendrick Lamar leading the weekend. 

While those names might be recognizable to any casual music fan, we decided to pick out some lesser-known acts performing that are worth checking out.

Broken Social Scene

It's been a few years since we last heard from Broken Social Scene, but word on the street is that the band has lost none of its "magical energy" in the interim.

For those that don't know them, the band is made up of a rotating cast of anywhere from six to 19 members from indie bands such as Stars, Feist, Metric, and KC Accidental.  

The veteran musicians rotate instruments and take turns singing on different songs, making them an exciting band to watch even if you aren't familiar with the material.

Foals

UK rockers Foals are currently making the rounds at just about every major festival this summer, and with good reason: the band is a ton of fun to listen to.

Their "arena-funk," as Pitchfork called it, demands that you both dance and rock out. And isn't that exactly the type of crowd-pleaser you want to listen to at a summer festival? 

Saturday July 23 - Panorama Stage - 4:30 p.m. - 5:20 p.m.

Kurt Vile and the Violators

The dog days of summer are almost upon us, and there's no artist more perfectly matched to that vibe than Kurt Vile. His brand of hazy, guitar-driven rock sounds like a faded daydream from the 1970s. 

Did I mention the guy can shred?

Sunday July 24 - Panorama Stage - 4:45 p.m. - 5:45 p.m.
