The 20th cent tonalists have had some influence - chiefly, as you point out, in cinema music, although the influence of traditionalists [at least as far as movie scores are concerned] is far greater. John Williams had so far permanently changed the way movies are scored to this day.
There's zero influence of any radicalists on pop-rock music. No connection whatsoever.
Movies are proof of pragmatism. Movies tend to use what works for effect, not for the concert hall. Minimalism is highly effective for certain television and cinema settings.
