Ryan Scott is off this week, but Lisa Laman, Jeremy Fuster and Scott Mendelson (that’s me) still had plenty to pontificate about in relation to a softer-than-hoped $28 million domestic opening weekend for Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt’s The Fall Guy. And yeah, I will briefly roll my eyes at Disney dropping Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace back into theaters just in time to undercut a rival studio’s non-franchise big-budget tentpole. That kind of gamesmanship was funnier in the late 1990s when the entire theatrical ecosystem wasn’t in peril.
Forgive the lack of samples from my co-hosts’ respective portfolios this week, but Google is your friend. As always, if you like what you’re hearing, do the usual thing of liking, sharing, commenting and *smashing* (using a cartoon mallet) that subscribe button with every justified ounce of strength and passion.
