Opening Banter: Ryan introduces himself. In The News: Ryan: West Side Story Box Office Is Not Music To The Film Industry's EarsRyan runs down weekend box office Can award buzz save it? This is not the end: (2017’s Great Showman debuted to 8.8 million, soundtrack went trending and ended with $436 m global) Why do you think it underperformed? Why werent people interested in this one?Hannah thinks its bad marketing despite great reviews? Are movie musicals on a decline? (this year Dear Evan Hanson, In The Heights) Is it just the pandemic? Older audiences Are younger audiences not interested in stories about forbidden Interracial romance Has Spielberg lost touch with what audiences want? (The BFG, Ready Player One, Crystal Skull, Tintin) On the other side of the coin: Disney’s Encanto came out a few weeks ago and WSS barely beat that this weekend. Thats another musical, skewing younger and it hasnt hit big disney numbers.Encanto Hits Digital Just In Time For Christmas, Blu-Ray Early Next Year Also mentioned: Hannah: Steven Spielberg's West Side Story Set To Bomb With $10.5 Million Opening Weekend Ryan Scott's Favorite Movies Of All Time All the other stuff you need to know: You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes. /Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and television as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com.
