In this week’s episode of the Boxoffice Podcast, co-hosts Rebecca Pahle, Shawn Robbins, and Chad Kennerk discuss a slow week at the box office, as the Gen Z nostalgia-driven Five Nights at Freddy’s tops the box office for the second week running. Looking ahead, Robbins talks concerns for THE MARVEL’s opening weekend and TROLLS BAND TOGETHER’s international run in advance of its domestic debut on 11/17. In the feature segment, spooky season continues as Kennerk speaks to Virgil Cardamone of the Mahoning Drive-In Theater, where an event-based approach to screenings has made them a bucket list destination for horror fans.Give us your feedback on our podcast by accessing this survey: https://forms.gle/CcuvaXCEpgPLQ6d18 Episode Resources:Weekend Box Office: FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S is First Horror Leader in Post-Halloween Frame Since 1991Long Range Box Office Forecast: Marvel Studios’ THE MARVELSWhat to Listen For00:00 Intro00:33 The Mahoning Drive-In01:45 Third lowest box office weekend of 202303:02 Five Nights at Freddy’s box office numbers05:55 Day-and-Date opening09:31 Nostalgic movies13:12 Added show times 14:58 Killers of the Flower Moon numbers drop18:02 International box office numbers20:37 The Marvels prediction23:45 Preservation of drive-in culture25:42 35 millimeter film fanatics27:43 Going retro29:43 Slight movement in the culture34:11 Commitment of retro film39:47 Breeding ground for creatives41:23 Curated food and beverage experience46:10 Plans for 2024
