Oscar Box Office with The B.O. Boys: A Special Fall Box Office Report - Ep. 446 Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Pat and Clayton of the B.O. Boys join Also Mike for a very special Fall Box Office Report. We discuss Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour receipts and how she may have changed Hollywood forever. We discuss Barbenheimer Oscar Nom projections and whether or not they can go the distance to Oscar wins. We breakdown all of the upcoming Best Picture possibilities yet to come, while looking back at the last 12 years of BP nominations in another trademark Also Mike statistical study. And we can't help but enjoy some gambling over/unders as we bet on what contenders will be hits or misses at the Box Office. Make sure you follow, like, and subscribe to The B.O.
