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.
