In this week’s episode of the Boxoffice Podcast, co-hosts Rebecca Pahle and Chad Kennerk discuss schedule changes from Sony, the ongoing success of Barbie and Oppenheimer, and the films trying to knock Barbie out of the #1 spot this weekend. In our feature segment, Rebecca speaks to Eileen Baptistin Level, whose ‘PaleFo’ initiative brings the magic of the movies to low-income areas without brick and mortar theaters. Give us your feedback on our podcast by accessing this survey: https://forms.gle/CcuvaXCEpgPLQ6d18 Episode Resources:
