On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by Scott Mendelson of The Outside Scoop to preview the summer movie season and address some of the hottest questions in the biz. Why did Netflix push Greta Gerwig's Narnia movie to next year and give it a full(ish) theatrical window? What's shaping up to be the biggest flop of the summer? Is box office health finally back on the upswing after some down years post-COVID and post-strikes? And what the heck is “Infinity Vision”? All that and more on this week's episode. Leave your most-anticipated film in the comments!

We're facing another final reckoning in 2025. The Summer Movie Gamble is back, as Out Now with Aaron & Abe presents the 13th Annual Summer Movie Gamble. For this Summer movie season, things truly feel unpredictable as to who will take the top spot. Will dinosaurs rule over all? Is Disney launching alien gold with another live-action remake? Can a dragon be trained to make all the money? Or will the first steps of the Fantastic Four be their most lucrative? Listen in to hear the launch of this year's gamble, which doubles as a summer movie preview episode, featuring former Champions (one arguably past his prime), Markus Robinson of Movies Markus, and Scott Mendelson of The Outside Scoop. So now, if you've got an hour to kill… Note: Some entries have changed since the original recording of this episode.

On this week's episode I'm rejoined by Scott Mendelson of The Outside Scoop to talk about the state of the box office thus far through 2025. It's better than 2024—thank you, Minecraft—but not as good as 2023. Plus, we delve into some of the discussion surrounding Sinners's box office, particularly the foreign and domestic splits. Does its strength in North America demonstrate that Hollywood should be less concerned with appealing to foreign audiences and more worried about making big bucks (and better movies) for the homegrown crowd? All that and more on this episode; if you enjoyed it, I hope you share it with a friend!
