Music Ruled the Box Office During Fall 2024 (Unless The Joker Was Involved)

Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...

Feature Presentation: Comic Book Characters and IP Cash Grabs Aren’t Bulletproof - Fall 2024 was the season of the musical. Ironically the one musical that didn’t work was based on a comic book character. Joker: Folie à Deux couldn’t strike a chord, alongside other formerly formidable franchises such as Transformers, The Lord of the Rings, and Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. 

Meanwhile, Wicked, Moana, Mufasa, Beetlejuice, A Complete Unknown, and Smile 2 brought the goods when it came to music and money.

Mid-Credits: Survive Until Q2 2025 - The Winter/Spring box office has been bleak to say the least. Disappointment after disappointment from January through March. But this is what happens when Hollywood serves nothing but its tentpole leftovers previously scheduled for 2024, alongside a ton of counterprogramming. Can April save the season and finally kick off the year with a string of successes? Fingers crossed.
