Kraven The Hunter Bombs Hard, More Box Office Stories, and A Few Listener E-Mails

On the December 16, 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 weekend box office numbers and answer a couple of your emails.

Listener emails: Terry from Oakland, CA: Love the podcast. I’ve been listening to it from day one, although I often disagree with what I hear. I love the conversation and the different perspectives. It’s always a joy to hear Chris’ dour voice. Warms the cackles of my heart. But as far as the top five Denzel movies. I’m pretty sure I was, like many of your other Black listeners, screaming at our phones or whatever they listen to the podcasts on. You all made some great points and had some great picks. There were some deep cuts in there. I appreciate you highlighting the relationship between Denzel and Spike Lee. They are cinematic gold.

But to be clear, there’s no way Man on Fire sits on that list over Glory. I understand the desire to want to have “action Denzel” on the list. I think for a lot of people, Training Day is action Denzel turnt up. I think that all those Tony Scott action movies and Training Day have a similar version of Denzel. Glory is different. The rawness of his acting. The hint of charm beneath that rage. The arc of his character. It really mirrors the arc of Malcolm X. I saw both of those movies in the theater and they had a profound impact on many of us. Man of Fire was great, but doesn’t rank as one of his top 5 greatest performances. Macbeth must be on the list, although I would have had Mo Betta Blues, and Mississippi Masala deserves an honorable mention. Love you guys!!!


Andrew from Wichita: I subscribe to Peacock and Paramount+. Each year I wait until Black Friday when they offer deals and then subscribe. This year, for example, Peacock is offering a full year for $20. How do these deals keep these streaming services alive?


Richard from San Antonio: ​​Love the show and listen to every episode. I hate to be “that guy,” but the way you all have pronounced Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s (BON-HOFFER) name kills me every time. Haven’t seen the film, but he’s a super interesting historical figure. German pastor who studied in the States and was influenced by the people he met in Harlem. When he moved back to Germany, he was arrested for plotting to kill Hitler. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
