On this week’s episode of The Boxoffice Podcast, hosts Rebecca Pahle and Jesse Rifkin discuss potential second-weekend holds for overperformer Smile and underperformer Bros, as well as this weekend’s release of the first major family movie since July. The feature is an excerpt from a Geneva Convention panel, moderated by Pahle, at last week’s Geneva Convention. In that panel, Jackie Brenneman (NATO, The Cinema Foundation), Valerie Alexander (author/keynote speaker), and Stacy Babl (Marcus Theatres) discuss the changing realities of how to attract and retain employees in the cinema space.
