Box Office Watch Podcast

Box Office Watch

Ninjaboi Media
How much money a movie makes drives so much in Hollywood. Which sequels get greenlit, which franchises get rebooted, and how the theater chains try to combat streaming services all comes down to the almighty dollar. But sometimes the industry jargon can be a bit intimidating to new Box office nerds. That's where we come in - From the Avengers: Endgames to the Mortal Engines of the world, the Box Office Watch Podcast is here to break down the financial outcome of each weekend at the box office and help you understand how to think about how money flows in Hollywood.
12/10/21-12/12/21: West Side Story Off Key with 10.5M Opening - Can Spielberg Rally in Second Act? | Douban App Removed in China | Changes to Adult Drama Releases | What I've Been Watching - Flee and House of Gucci
In this episode of the podcast, we go over West Side Story's disappointing box office numbers, and what road to breakeven it has from here, as well as the implications for other musical and adult dramas. We also look at Spider-man No Way Home Forecasts, some news about Douban being pulled from Chinese app stores, and my reviews of Oscar favorites Flee and House of Gucci. Plus, be sure to check out the return of my other podcast Oscars Death Race Podcast later this week!
