Are you interested in seeing a musical adaptation of movies like “The Notebook,” “Back to the Future,” “Water for Elephants,” or “The Great Gatsby”? This trend of adapting movies into musicals is gaining popularity. Our co-host Bruce Miller recently visited New York and immersed himself in the Broadway scene, watching some of the hottest shows and even getting an autograph from Daniel Radcliffe after a performance of “Merrily We Roll Along.”
Looking back at last year, films like “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” and “Fast X” dominated the box office. However, this year’s summer movie season is off to a slow start with “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” and “IF” struggling to attract audiences. Even the box office leader, “Dune: Part Two,” has yet to cross the $300 million mark domestically. You can view the complete list on Box Office Mojo.
