LOS ANGELES - "Dear Evan Hansen," the Universal Pictures adaptation of the smash Broadway musical, didn't strike a chord with moviegoers.

Even though the film seems unlikely to turn a profit in theaters, the losses won't be catastrophic."Dear Evan Hansen" cost US$28 million to produce, a modest budget for a musical. That puts Universal in a much better position compared to its last movie musical,"Cats," which opened to US$6.5 million in late 2019 and ultimately lost the studio nearly all of its US$100 million budget.

At least one positive: Audiences, at least the few who bought a ticket on opening weekend, appeared to like"Dear Evan Hansen" more than critics did. It landed an"A-" CinemaScore from moviegoers, which is exponentially better than its 33per cent on Rotten Tomatoes. Around 62per cent of patrons were female, while 53per cent were, like Platt, over the age of 25.

Gen Y Speaks: How I learn empathy out of a box​As a healthcare provider, the word empathy has been emphasised to me so many times in medical school and even at work that it almost runs the risk of sounding like a cliché. Yet, the focus on empathy is for a good reason. Where is the box to learn how to drop some of this empathy. Not the coolest thing to get on the verge of crying for someone/thing you don't even know.
