Summary
On the February 26, 2024 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor Ben Pearson is joined by /Film staff writer and box office analyst Ryan Scott to talk about the weekend’s box office numbers.
Opening Banter: Listener email from Sampson Dewitt: Hey gang, listener from Florida via Spotify. On Thursday’s episode, ya’ll discussed the cost of releasing movies to theatres and referenced the “print” cost possibly not applying. I was hoping you can elaborate on this: are the movies we see in major theatres no longer shown on film? One of the key reasons to go to a theatre for me is seeing the movie on film (similar to listening to music on vinyl as opposed to digital), so this would kind of be a bummer.
