Matt is joined by Ray Subers, the senior vice president of theatrical strategy at National Research Group, to discuss an eye-opening study making the rounds among industry executives that highlights a troubling reality for Hollywood: The supply of new movie stars is declining alongside the box office. They talk about the importance of casting, which stars are most likely to get someone to see a movie in theaters, and why that list is only getting older. Matt finishes the show by giving a prediction on what will be one of the biggest movies of 2024.\n\nFor a 20 percent discount on Matt\u2019s Hollywood insider newsletter, \u2018What I\u2019m Hearing ...,\u2019 click this link: http://puck.news/thetown.\nEmail us your thoughts! thetown@spotify.com.\n\nHost: Matt Belloni\nGuest: Ray Subers\n\nProducers: Craig Horlbeck and Jessie Lopez\nTheme Song: Devon Renaldo\nLearn more about your ad choices.
