In this episode of the Boxoffice Podcast, co-hosts Rebecca Pahle, Daniel Loria, and Chad Kennerk discuss last weekend’s box office—and how a slim slate is leaving room for international releases, like #1 finisher The Boy and the Heron and Godzilla Minus One, to draw in audiences. The trio also discusses this year’s Golden Globe nominations and Disney’s decisions to bring three of its pandemic-era Pixar films to theaters.
