Borderlands' Box Office Goes From Bad to Worse, Alien: Romulus Comes Out Strong, and More

On the August 19, 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 biggest box office stories from this past weekend.

Listener emails: Ross W. from Ontario, California writes in: “Hey Ben, While I enjoyed you and Ryan talking about video game movies last Thursday, the one movie that I was shouting at my car speakers (not really) that you missed was Tron! I saw it in the theaters when it first came out (I’m old), and have loved it ever since. Jeff Bridges and David Warner are great in it, and those very early computer graphics still look amazing. Other than that, you guys did a great job (King of Kong is fantastic). Love the podcast, keep up the great work.


Brandon from Knoxville, TN writes: Ben and Ryan, I’m a film buyer at Regal who also oversees Indian and South Asian releases for our theatre network. Pleased to hear you acknowledge Indian films occasionally sneaking into the box office top 10 over the past handful of weeks on your July 29 episode. For the past few years, especially since the smash success of RRR in early 2022, interest from North American audiences in Indian and South Asian titles has steadily grown. Over 4 million people of South Asian descent call the United States home, and they have established a large and dedicated audience for Indian releases.


India produces more films by volume than Hollywood, with the main four languages of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Punjabi featuring in the majority of releases. The most highly anticipated movies also come to American theatres around major Indian holidays and festivals. Several titles are coming to theaters to mark India Independence Day on August 15, and multiple films could land in the domestic box office top 10. Dasara on October 12, Diwali on November 1, and Christmas should also see plenty of Indian movies at American cinemas with films featuring the most popular South Asian actors in some of 2024’s most notable releases. Looking forward to hearing more of your commentary on the Indian film industry in future podcasts!

How Many Movies Should the Average Person See Per Year? Plus IF, The Strangers, and More Box Office Takeaways

On the May 20, 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 latest film and TV news.In The News:Box office recapListener email: Melissa in St. Louis writes in: Hi Ben, I enjoy listening to the box office recap every week, and I wanted to reach out to you and Ryan to ask: How many movies should the average person go see in a year for a healthy domestic box office? When you talk about the money that needs to be made by a specific movie or the overall industry, I’m always curious how that breaks down to the level of a hypothetical individual audience member. I know there’s differing ticket prices and formats and all sorts of other variables, but I’d appreciate hearing your rough estimate of the Average Joe’s movie-going quota for a year, or even just the summer season.Tom Rothman Deadline interviewAll 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.
