Pixar's Up Turns 15, Plus An Interview With Composer Michael Giacchino

On the May 28, 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. I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day. In The News: Furiosa's Opening Weekend Box Office Falls Far Behind Mad Max: Fury Road
 Listener email: Mitch from Yuma, AZ wrote in: Hey Ben and Ryan, I just wanted to hear some more of your thoughts on what you talked about on last Monday’s episode. I was stunned when you said for a healthy box office, the average person needed to see 3-4 movies a year, because my wife and I see a movie at least every two weeks. I know we are above average, but I figured everyone went to the theater on average once a month. My question is, if we really only need 3-4 visits per person per year to have a healthy box office, why have the theaters not figured out a monthly subscription-based plan yet? I know there’s AMC Stubs A-List Premiere program, but I don’t know much about it because we don’t have an AMC in my town, we have a Harkins and a Regal. (My wife and I personally love Harkins.) There was the big fiasco known as MoviePass, but how does a program where you pay $30 a month to watch as many movies as you want NOT work? Give the studios 75% of that subscription, divvied up amongst them, while the theater makes their money on the concession sales, like they always do. The more times people are in the theater, the more popcorn and soda they will buy. I don’t know if you two have insight or ideas on how this could work or why it hasn’t yet, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Thank you and keep up the great work.Title Of Third Benoit Blanc Mystery Officially Revealed By Director Rian JohnsonKnives Out Sequel Wake Up Dead Man Finds Some New Suspects (Or Victims)James Gunn Reveals The Writing Team Behind DC's Green Lanterns TV ShowMarvel's Vision Series Is Still Floating Around, Now Has A Star Trek ShowrunnerThe New Star Trek Movie Is A Prequel – But Will It Rewrite The Franchise Timeline?Godzilla X Kong Director Adam Wingard Isn't Returning For The SequelThe Godzilla And Kong Movies Need A New Director – Here Are Our PicksLegendary Director Steven Spielberg's (Top Secret) Next Movie Has A Release Date

In the mailbag: Lance wrote in a couple of days ago and said: Just listening to yesterday’s podcast and Ryan mentioned that by a certain date he will have watched all three Star Wars prequels in the theater. I wasn’t aware that Episode 2 and 3 were already released, but I may have missed it. I took my son to see Episode 1 and it was his first Star Wars movie and he really loved it, so I’m hoping I didn’t miss it. Just hoping you have some info - thanks!
