Weekend Box Office Report - October 30, 2022 (with Scott Mendelson)
🕑 Added 2022-10-31 04:10:08 +0000 UTCThis week: it's the end of an era! Scott Mendelson is leaving Forbes and will no longer be writing about box office. And I'm probably not going to be on Twitter for very much longer (I'm launching a newsletter instead).
What will become of the weekly Twitter Space? It's unclear. I'll be exploring ways to possibly make a legit podcast out of this thing with Scott but I think in the short term I'm probably going to take a break for a couple weeks.
Thanks to all of the Patrons who have listened to these and supported them over the course of the past year. It's been so much fun to do and I've learned so much. Your support means I can do weird experiments like this one. And in this case, hopefully it will lead to something more down the line.

I just wanted to say that these weekly box office chats have been something I look forward to every week, so I'm bummed to hear that they may be coming to an end, or that they'll possibly be on hiatus for a while. But that said, I think it's really admirable the way you are taking a stand against Twitter and Elon Musk and his nonsense. I totally support what you're doing in moving away from that platform, while hoping someday you can bring back the box office chats in another non-Twitter format. I don't use Twitter so I only ever heard them on your Patreon podcast feed, so hopefully they'll show up there again someday. Thanks again for your integrity and all your hard work Dave! Makes me feel even better about my patronage.

When Scott mentioned empathizing with vegetarians, I felt seen. I’ve been veg (for the animals) for 15 years and most of the time, when I tell someone, the first thing they do is try and challenge other aspects of my life that cause harm to animals. Thanks for the feedback. 🙄 These days, I quietly order a salad and try not to draw any attention to it at all. 😝 Kudos on getting off Twitter! 👏 I imagine this will do wonders for your mental health.
