Prime Video Director Paul Feig’s 2018 thriller “A Simple Favor” feels like it came out a lifetime ago. In some ways it did. The film, which starred Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, was a theatrical hit before the pandemic completely altered cinema as we know it. Now, it’s a streaming-dominated landscape.

Over the past year, Walgreens’ share price has almost halved amid stiff competition from online retailers and pressures on health insurance payouts.
