Erik Childress and Sergio Mims began a conversation on their WHPK radio show about the summer box office last month and have been continuing that discussion from week-to-week. On this episode you will hear the evolution of that talk as they offer perspective on behavior during the pandemic, trends that began to form in attendance, how HBO MAX and streaming have messed with the dynamics and some thoughts going forward on Disney and the lawsuit they are now facing with Scarlett Johansson. It’s a little bit of a timewarp with predictions and expectations but one that shall continue through a year that feels almost like one big experiment as studios decide where to land going forward.
