On the June 24, 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.In The News:Inside Out 2 Has Already Dethroned Dune 2 as the Biggest Movie of 2024 So FarInside Out 2 Just Hit A Box Office Milestone Not Seen Since Avengers: EndgameA Quiet Place: Day One Set To Be 2024's First Big Horror Box Office HitRussell Crowe’s Horror Flop The Exorcism Just Broke the Worst Kind of Box Office RecordIn The Mailbag:Dalton from Seattle wrote in: In response to you and Ryan discussing renting theaters: We have a theater in Seattle that does just what you two were describing. A few years ago, some friends and I rented out The Beacon Theater here in Seattle. It's a small, very fun vintage theater with one screen. They serve candy, popcorn, beer and wine. They offer an amazing service where you can request an old film, and they will track down the digital film print of the movie to screen for you. We watched the original Ghostbusters movie. It was such a blast. It's such a cool business idea. I'm hoping to rent it out and request the original 90's TMNT sometime in the near future. Thought you guys might get a kick out of that!Finally circling back around to the rest of the email written in a while ago by Wes from Dallas/Ft. Worth, and there are multiple points to address here. First, he wants to know, Ryan, why the world of box office reporting does not always take inflation into account when comparing past data to current data.Similarly: why is there such a focus on dollars and not the number of tickets sold?While I wouldn't mind paying a premium to go to the movies, it would have to come with a premium experience, and it just isn't so. And what does that mean for people with lower incomes? Unfortunately, it seems like we are approaching a point where a premium experience may not even be possible if studios can't justify making enough movies for theaters to exist. Assuming movie theaters start closing down, what outlook do you see ten years from now if things don't change? Will going to the movies be like going to the Opera with limited showings only on specific dates and very expensive tickets? What changes would you make to fix the industry?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, and wherever you get your podcasts.Send your feedback, questions, comments, concerns, and mailbag topics to us at bpearson@slashfilm.com.
