Box Office... and Beyond!

This week, Tom discuss a little film that opened this weekend... DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE! Heard of it? Didn't think so. Join Tom as he talks through all the box office records the film has obliterated, and answers the everlasting question: Are cinemas (finally) back??? Spoiler alert: probably not.

He also covers the cheeky little Dr Doom reveal from Marvel this weekend and looks at the frankly ridiculous number of bleak films that are coming out in the glorious month of August.

Well, we've made it, we're halfway through the year. And what better way to celebrate than to look back at the year so far in its box office takings, and how it stacks up to previous years! Huh? Yeah, I'm fun at parties, why'd you ask?

More importantly, though, is JUNE! No, not my 90 year old neighbour, the month, you silly sausage. Spoiler alert: it's been an absolute MONSTER - how much of a monster? You better listen to find out - and could well be a sign of the next couple of months.

Summer is (almost) here! Tom takes a little look ahead to the treats in store over those always sunny, not at all rainy, months and analyses how the films being released in that time compare to those of previous years. Where will this Summer rank among previous Summers in terms of Box Office returns? Only Tom knows, so listen up to find out.

He also looks at the plethora of films releasing in May. You just try staying out of the cinema! (Please don't, the industry needs you)

This week, Tom, 'fresh' back from his stag do, is joined by everyone's favourite semi-regular contributor Lora Bogdanova, a Senior Box Office Analyst at this here Gower Street. They delve into the mythical land of Las Vegas, aka Sin City (I think???), and the goings on of CinemaCon, which Lora was lucky enough to attend. They talk highlights, both in the form of slate presentations and specific films, surprises, and top tips for those going to CinemaCon in the future.

We also answer the question on everybody's lips: What film is Lora Bogdanova most looking forward to from the CinemaCon presentations?

Enjoy, Sinners!

It may surprise you, but in this episode Tom is talking about video game adaptations on film. With the recent Borderlands trailer 'dropping', as the kids say, Tom looks back at the good, the bad, and the downright mad video game adaptations we have seen, and looks ahead to the ones to come. He also ponders the question: does the rise in television adaptations of video games mean that film adaptations will become obsolete? Who's to say?

Well, Tom. Tom is to say. In this episode.

Enjoy!

Episode thirteen, unlucky for some, including you, but stick with us as Tom talks about the box office potential (or often lack thereof) of original films.

Oh, and Madame Web is coming out.
