On the February 24, 2025 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.In The News: Top 10Captain America dipThe Monkey Proves Stephen King Is Box Office Gold - In The Right HandsThe Unbreakable BoyCleanerDaisy Ridley's Career Is In An Odd Place Right Now [Sundance] Listener email: Jason from Virginia wrote us an email at [email protected] and said:“I heard the conversation between yourself and Ryan discussing the new version of Lilo & Stitch potentially making more money than people think, and I just wanted to contribute my two cents. My wife and I went to Europe for a week and a half at the beginning of December (Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands). In almost every store that we went in, there was something with Stitch on it. Clothing, glasses, stuffed animals, little action figures. It got to a point where my wife and I were making a game of it and were actively looking for Stitch. I had no idea that Stitch was this popular in Western Europe. I don't know if that will impact the box office, but I can't help but agree with Ryan that this movie will make a lot more than I originally anticipated. I have been listening since the very beginning, and I appreciate all that you do.”All the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and TV as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Send your feedback, questions, comments, concerns, and mailbag topics to us at [email protected].
