On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, the team discuss the hits, misses and surprises at the global box office this year, before we look back on the American Film Market, which finished last weekend.
Screen contributing editor Wendy Mitchell, deputy editor Louise Tutt and awards and box office editor Charles Gant examine whether it’s been an encouraging few months for original IP in cinemas.
The team also look at the growing global success of anime titles, some strong local hits in France, and soft debuts for two UK filmmakers; Gurinder Chadha’s Christmas Karma and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man.
Next, Screen’s Americas editor Jeremy Kay rounds up the talking points from this year’s AFM, which was back in Los Angeles at the Fairmont Hotel following a poorly-received sojourn in Las Vegas last year.
Kay rounds up the buzzy packages, vibes on the ground, and why Screen staff were loving driverless taxis.

Are awards season narratives helpful? Plus, FilmNation's Glen Basner gets candid ahead of AFM
On this week’s episode of The Screen Podcast, the team discusses the emerging narratives in this year’s awards race, before FilmNation Entertainment CEO Glen Basner shares his insights ahead of the American Film Market (AFM).
First, Screen contributing editor Wendy Mitchell, editor-in-chief Matt Mueller and deputy editor Louise Tutt are joined by awards and box office editor Charles Gant to discuss the early shape of the awards race.
They debate whether big studio films are at a disadvantage, whether Wicked: For Good can pull off a Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King-style victory lap, and the leading country contenders in the best international feature race.
Next, Screen’s Americas editor Jeremy Kay is joined by FilmNation Entertainment CEO and founder Glen Basner ahead of the AFM in Los Angeles to hear the sales veteran’s thoughts on the current marketplace, why Southeast Asia is proving to be a tricky market right now, and whether next year’s TIFF: The Market will be useful for international buyers and sellers.
