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.
