My wife and I went to Europe for a week and a half at the beginning of December (Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands). In almost every store that we went in, there was something with Stitch on it. Clothing, glasses, stuffed animals, little action figures. It got to a point where my wife and I were making a game of it and were actively looking for Stitch. I had no idea that Stitch was this popular in Western Europe. I don't know if that will impact the box office, but I can't help but agree with Ryan that this movie will make a lot more than I originally anticipated.

I’ll read a little from his email: “I’m a childless man-child in his mid-30s who follows the comics and graphic novels industry, so my knowledge comes from that world, where Dogman is an absolute juggernaut. In any year end sales data breakdown for graphic novels, Dogman’s now 12 volumes are often the majority of the top 20, outselling by large magnitudes the most storied franchises in that space (Spider-Man, Batman, Watchmen).” Skipping ahead, he says, “Although I can’t speak to its quality, this movie has a gigantic built-in audience that if it hits will most likely result in a moderate to major success.”Notable stories from two weekends agoTop 10Stories from this most recent weekendAll the other stuff you need to know:You can find more about all the stories we mentioned on today’s show at slashfilm.com, and linked inside the show notes./Film Daily is published every weekday, bringing you the most exciting news from the world of movies and TV as well as deeper dives into the great features from slashfilm.com. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.Send your feedback, questions, comments, concerns, and mailbag topics to us at [email protected].
