Death Kills At Box Office
from The Box Office Podcast Hosted by Scott Mendelson, Brandon Peters, Jeremy Fuster, and Lisa Laman
Brandon Peters stops by to discuss what went right with a legacy sequel that didn’t sell itself as one. Topics covered included how WBD marketed a follow-up 14 years later without depending on existing fandoms, the idea that Final Destination may be the best Hollywood slasher franchise from the post-Scream era, and why the franchise’s consistent quality (rarely great but seldom terrible) has contributed to its ongoing popularity. Everyone concurred that AMC’s initiative to offer 50% discounts on movie tickets on Wednesdays is a positive step toward making moviegoing more casual again.
