Fandango Managing Editor, Erik Davis, joins us once again on Pop Culture Weekly to discuss the results of Fandango’s 2025 Moviegoing Trends and Insights Study, including the Most Anticipated Movies of Summer 2025 as voted by YOU!
Kyle McMahon and Erik explore everything from the thrilling action sequences of "Mission Impossible: Final Recokining" to James Gunn's fresh take on Superman, featuring the charming Krypto the Superdog. Erik brings us the latest insights from Fandango's study on movie-going trends, where concessions remain king and premium formats like IMAX and Dolby are drawing audiences back to the theaters.
The conversation takes a deeper dive into the evolution of the movie theater experience, spotlighting exciting developments like themed experiences and the growing popularity of theaters such as Alamo Drafthouse. We also tackle the great debate over cell phone use during films, as some theaters experiment with screenings tailored to all preferences. As we preview the summer movie lineup, our excitement is palpable for the debut of Marvel's "Fantastic Four: First Steps," hailed for its 60s retro-futuristic flair, and the high anticipation for "Jurassic World Rebirth." With Erik's expert insights and our shared passion for cinema, this episode promises to be a cinematic feast for movie lovers everywhere.
