Michael Koh (filling in for Victor) speculates that it might have something to do with high ticket prices – but Aaron wonders if it’s not a sign that we’re all dealing with the heaviness of 2026 by leaning into fun escapist pop culture. (Or maybe it’s just a coincidence? But it feels like more than a coincidence.)
