In a (thankfully) now rare solo episode, Tom holds your hand as he guides you through what happened in the Global Box Office in July. Big releases and strong holdovers surely must have made for a bountiful month? Spoiler alert: yes. He also discusses what's to come to round off the Summer, as well as peeking into the first month of Autumn to see what that all means for the box office of our wonderful industry.

In this episode, Tom and Mya very professionally discuss the new features and products that Gower Street have recently launched. They then seamlessly segue into reminiscing about controversial trailers of the past, and how their controversies impacted their box office, before launching a brand new competition that could see you, yes YOU, win £20 in Amazon vouchers.

On this episode, Tom is joined by Rob Mitchell to discuss all things CineEurope 2025. I mean, if that wasn't obvious from the title then I don't know what to say. It pretty much does all the heavy lifting on this one. Not really any need to write anything else in here. But will that stop me? No.

Enjoy.

This week, Tom discusses the upcoming inevitable, absolute dead-cert, put your house on it, box office SMASH HIT* Lilo & Stitch with Lora. They're so confident, they even drop in the 'B' word. No not that one. Or that one. Yeah, THAT one. All being well, Lilo & Stitch (and a few other little films you may have heard of) will continue the resurgence of the global box office from a bumper April.

*If it isn't, then these are just the thoughts of Tom and Lora, not Gower Street.

Today, Tom is joined by a Box Office & Beyond debutant... Thomas Beranek! Thomas is a very clever boy and is behind our global box office projections and tracker. He talks through Gower Street's revised global box office number for 2025, before going on to the main topic at hand: CinemaCon 2025. He takes us through the highs, the surprises, and the personal highlights(es) of this year's very low-key and not at all extravagant trade show in Las Vegas.
