Thanksgiving has MASSIVE Box Office at the theaters. Error 218 - Error Code Show

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Earlier this year, movie theaters were freaking out, right?

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Cause after COVID and then kind of like we had just started

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,720
recovering from COVID and the theater business,

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,560
when they had the writers and actor strike last year,

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,080
which proceeded to completely gunk up the release schedule

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:21,120
and things like that.

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:22,720
So the first part of this year,

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,480
with the exception of Dune 2, was kind of like a desert

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,720
for new films, right?

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,760
And people were really freaking out for a while.

11
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,880
And things kind of took a turn in July

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,640
with the release of Deadpool and Wolverine

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,920
and Inside Out 2 earlier that summer,

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,640
did really, really well.

15
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:45,600
Well, this weekend, they set a record, right?

16
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:50,560
This is the highest grossing Thanksgiving weekend in history.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
It beat the weekends where Endgame was out in theaters

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,800
for Thanksgiving, right?

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,400
It beat a bunch of stuff.

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,280
It was a big, big weekend for the theaters.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,560
Let's jump over here to the thing and we can show you.

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,400
So here you go.

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,680
This is from good old box office mojo.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,560
Moana opened with 139 million this year, this weekend, right?

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,320
Wicked made another 81 million, right?

26
00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:26,480
Which is only a 30% drop, which is huge.

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:31,480
Huge for, that's a very, very small drop for box office,

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,600
especially when you have a 100 million plus opening weekend.

29
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,000
Gladiators still didn't have a huge drop.

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,080
31 million, Red One made 12.

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,720
They made a buttload of money this weekend.

32
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,600
The theaters were packed over the holiday weekend.

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,360
And again, Moana 2 just straight out the gate.

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,920
Just blast off to 139 million.

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,120
For a total gross so far of 225 million.

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Wicked is at 263, Gladiators at 111.

37
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
So what do you think, Jay?

38
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,160
I mean, have we finally gotten over the hangover?

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,120
Like our movie theater's back?

40
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Yeah, I mean, I would say it is.

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,880
I mean, it's kind of sad that we're not coming out

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,120
with those Dune and Pumpcorn buckets.

43
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,280
Maybe that's why people finally get tired of those things.

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,720
So they're going back to the movies.

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360
We had the Deadpool and Wolverine one too.

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,880
The Wolverine one I forgot about, yeah.

47
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Oh gosh.

48
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Yeah, I think they're back.

49
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,320
I mean, and this is great.

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,960
This is, you can always tell that your society

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,960
is moving up a level by the quality of movies

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,840
that are being released in the theater.

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,200
When they're very high, like Moana's playing,

54
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,360
people aren't going to get assassinated on the street,

55
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,280
anything like that.

56
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,600
So I mean, but no, this is great.

57
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,440
And I do think like the movie kind of businesses back.

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,200
And the AMC stock is also, I've noticed,

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200
kind of on a upward trend right now.

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,040
It's ticking up.

61
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,600
I actually had my wife, I said,

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200
should I buy some more AMC stock?

63
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,160
I was like, yes, this was right before Thanksgiving.

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,360
I was like, yes, buy it now.

65
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,320
Because they're going to have a great fourth quarter.

66
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,080
Because we also got stuff coming.

67
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,640
That Mufasa movies coming out soon.

68
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:28,720
Oh yeah.

69
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:29,360
Right?

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,160
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is coming out soon.

71
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:32,600
Yeah.

72
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:32,920
Right?

73
00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,560
With Keanu Reeves as Shadow the Hedgehog.

74
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,680
I'm sorry.

75
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,720
What?

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Yes.

77
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,400
I did not know that.

78
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Oh yes.

79
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Keanu is Shadow the Hedgehog.

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:43,960
That's epic.

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,040
OK.

82
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,320
And I don't know, have you seen the first two Sonic movies?

83
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Yeah.

84
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,800
They were, I thought they were solid.

85
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Not like, this is the greatest movie,

86
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,800
but they're just fun, solid.

87
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,600
And I think they captured the spirit of Sonic the Hedgehog

88
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,400
very, very well.

89
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,320
Did you watch the Knuckles series?

90
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,640
I did.

91
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,200
OK.

92
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,280
I have not.

93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,320
I thought it was, it's not as good as the films,

94
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,120
but it's well put together.

95
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,920
And Idris as Knuckles is great.

96
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,320
Thank God for Idris Elba.

97
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,120
I did see, I did take my little one to see Moana 2

98
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,280
over the weekend.

99
00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:20,040
It's a solid film.

100
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Once again, Dwayne The Rock John said, just kills it as Maui.

101
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:25,680
OK.

102
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,360
Like he was born, and they're doing the live action.

103
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,840
They're actually filming the live action right now

104
00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,640
with him as Maui for the original.

105
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,320
The music was not as good as the first one,

106
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,160
but also it wasn't written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.

107
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,440
So take that for what it's worth.

108
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:45,880
Glad Eater 2 is a solid film.

109
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,160
I haven't gotten around to seeing Wicked yet.

110
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,200
It's not really, it's not really in my wheelhouse.

111
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,200
And it's a long movie.

112
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,080
It's two hours and 40 minutes.

113
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Yeah, but I mean, like it's not that long.

114
00:04:58,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Dude, that's a long time.

115
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,960
That's a long movie.

116
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:03,800
I don't know.

117
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
I think you're just like, just, you know,

118
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,120
psyching yourself out.

119
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,000
Yeah, somebody in the chat brought up,

120
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,760
I want to see Wicked, but knowing it's

121
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,720
have the musical and they plan on doing a second movie, met.

122
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,600
That's a thing.

123
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,440
It's a risk.

124
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,040
It's a risk to do part one, part two, right?

125
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,280
You saw it with Lord of the Rings.

126
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:27,280
You see it with Infinity War and Endgame.

127
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:28,560
You see a lot of that stuff.

128
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,680
So it's that.

129
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,720
Again, I'm really happy for them.

130
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Hell, Venom even made 2 million in the theaters.

131
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,360
And it's like seventh week, eighth week, sixth week.

132
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,600
Wow.

133
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,600
Venom made 2 million.

134
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,560
Bonhoeffer, which I've seen some stuff about.

135
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,000
That made 2.3.

136
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Again, Red One made 12.

137
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,480
It's up to 75.

138
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
It's it's not going to break even, but it's getting close.

139
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Yeah.

140
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,040
I mean, like you brought, I think it is good.

141
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:12,480
I think that having shared cultural touchstones is good.

142
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,520
Yeah.

143
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,120
Core memories, core memories, stuff

144
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,280
that you can make inside jokes about with your friends.

145
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:19,920
Yeah.

146
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Right.

147
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,160
So I never see that as a bad thing.

148
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,200
I will be curious to see how much Moana 2 drops this weekend.

149
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,160
But the fact that it came out that strong, the fact

150
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,960
that Wicked's still going strong, and I think

151
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,880
it's going to continue to go strong.

152
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,000
Let's take a look.

153
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Hang on a second.

154
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:44,080
I want to look at the release schedule.

155
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:44,600
Let me see.

156
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,080
Changes.

157
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,040
What do we got?

158
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:57,840
Hang on.

159
00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:03,160
Trying to find the release schedule.

160
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,160
So what's still coming out?

161
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,720
Upcoming releases.

162
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,440
Here we go.

163
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,640
So December, do we have anything big this weekend?

164
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,960
No.

165
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:19,800
Nothing major this weekend, which is probably good.

166
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,920
Oh, Craven the Hunter comes out on the 12th.

167
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,240
And they released the first eight minutes of it.

168
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,120
Have you watched?

169
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,960
They released the first eight minutes online.

170
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,200
And it's doing pretty good.

171
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,720
People are pretty happy.

172
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,440
I know that Madam Webb and Morvious were both.

173
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,880
But the Venom movies are solid.

174
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,800
I want to think that Craven's going to be interesting.

175
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,840
It looks so good.

176
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,960
I hope it's so good.

177
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,320
I hope it's good.

178
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,800
Madam Webb is probably the only Marvel movie I've never

179
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:51,280
finished.

180
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,040
I got like 30 minutes in and just left.

181
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,720
Let's be clear.

182
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,760
That's a Sony movie.

183
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,080
Yeah.

184
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Oh, yeah.

185
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:58,040
Totally.

186
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,400
That's Sony, not Marvel.

187
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,880
And that has to do with Marvel's, with the rights

188
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,680
that Sony has.

189
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,760
So Sony is contractually required to release a Spider-Man

190
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,840
movie or Spider-Man adjacent movie.

191
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,480
I think it's every three years.

192
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,440
And if they don't, they lose the rights to Spider-Man.

193
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,840
So even if stuff bombs, they have to keep releasing films.

194
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440
December 13th.

195
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,480
What's that?

196
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,120
Who's the CEO of Sony?

197
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Right now, Sony Pictures Group?

198
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Yeah.

199
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Who is this person?

200
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:39,040
Tony Vincicchiera is the CEO of Sony Pictures.

201
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,040
Do we know anything about him?

202
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,400
Let me see what I got about him.

203
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:45,760
Where did he come from?

204
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,160
He was a Texas Pacific group.

205
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,160
So hedge fund dude.

206
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,200
Ten years of Fox.

207
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,240
Not Fox, well, part of Fox News, but Fox Cable Network, Fox

208
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,400
Sports.

209
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Fox Networks like the Simpson stuff.

210
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,280
What else did he do?

211
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,560
Hurst Argyle, television, CBS.

212
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,000
He's been in the entertainment business for a long time.

213
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,040
Long, long time.

214
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:21,000
Started as a station manager of WBZ TV in Boston in 1986.

215
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,040
So not, yeah, he's been around for a minute.

216
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:31,600
So that'll, but the Sony deal.

217
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,680
So when Marvel, before Marvel was acquired by Disney,

218
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,680
Marvel was going through hard financial times.

219
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:39,480
And if everybody remembers, they were selling off rights

220
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,360
to anybody who would buy them just to stay afloat.

221
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,720
The comics division would, right?

222
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Which is how you ended up with X-Men at Fox,

223
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,840
Hulk at Universal, Spider-Man at Sony.

224
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,720
Now, one of the reasons, one of the reasons that Disney

225
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,480
Fox is they wanted their rights back and Fox had a lot of them.

226
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,000
Fox had Fantastic Four, Fox had the X-Men,

227
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,320
Fox had a few others and Marvel was like, we need that back.

228
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Okay, you're, we're just going to buy Fox.

229
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
It's fine, right?

230
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Sony got the rights to Spider-Man, which is again,

231
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,400
this is before the Sam Raimi Spider-Man, but Toby Maguire,

232
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,840
right, because they produced those movies, right?

233
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,760
And they said, we want, but that, but part of their deal

234
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,000
is they have to produce a new Spider-Man movie

235
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,360
every three years.

236
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,680
If they fail, the rights revert back to Marvel.

237
00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:38,600
So Sony will never not release something, right?

238
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,040
To reset that clock, right?

239
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,160
Which is why you get all this stuff.

240
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,360
Universal has the distribution rights for Hulk,

241
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,240
which is why somebody was on John Campus,

242
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,400
they were asking him about this and he answered,

243
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,000
why is it there any solo Hulk films?

244
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,880
Because if Disney made a solo Hulk film,

245
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,800
Universal is the automatic distributor.

246
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,320
Disney doesn't get to distribute it, universal does, right?

247
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760
That's why they can put Hulk in their movies,

248
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,520
but it can't be a Hulk movie.

249
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,640
Okay, because that NBC universal becomes the distributor

250
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,200
and they don't want that.

251
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,640
So that's why we get a lot of Hulk, but no Hulk films,

252
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600
not since the Edward and Incredible Hulk,

253
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,840
which is I think the only one they did under that deal

254
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,320
and that Disney was like, screw that,

255
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,720
we're not doing that anymore.

256
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,040
And then of course Marvel and Sony have the deal

257
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,760
to allow Spider-Man to be in the MCU

258
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480
and they have a fun sharing deal.

259
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,440
So all the Spider-Man movies with Tom Holland

260
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,880
that are produced by Disney, they have a deal

261
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760
where they share the production costs

262
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,040
and then each of them get a cut of the box office.

263
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:53,600
And the box offices on those have been so good

264
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,240
that Sony's just like, dope.

265
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,120
We're happy, right?

266
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,080
I will say their Spider-Verse films have been amazing.

267
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,960
Oh yes.

268
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,360
The two Spider-Verse films have been great.

269
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,280
The third one's in production now.

270
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280
I have every faith that Lord Miller

271
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,840
are gonna knock that third one out of the park, no doubt.

272
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,000
Again, the Venom trilogy has been pretty solid.

273
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:20,880
I think they've kind of been a mild step down,

274
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,480
but I think Tom Hardy has really,

275
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,520
he cracked the code with Venom.

276
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,360
Yeah.

277
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,800
But yeah, we have a lot to look forward to.

278
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,440
Oh, here we go, what else is coming?

279
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,320
War of the Raheerum, this is one I'm really looking forward

280
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,160
to.

281
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,920
The Lord of the Rings, War of the Raheerum,

282
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,640
which is an animated film in Lord of the Rings universe

283
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,240
that's about something, the War of the Raheerum

284
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,240
that happens before then.

285
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,480
Then we have Sonic the Hedgehog and Mufasa,

286
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,400
which I am really looking forward to.

287
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Weirdly, we don't really have a lot on Christopher Stade,

288
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,560
Nosferatu being the most,

289
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,840
the big one there.

290
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,640
And that brings us to the end of the year when,

291
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,080
we get to the beginning of the year again

292
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440
where people stop releasing stuff

293
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,000
because we're into Oscar season and we're done.

294
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Until February, which is when Captain America comes out.

295
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Right?

296
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,920
So,

297
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,640
do you prefer movies in the theater, Jay?

298
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,520
Oh, heck yeah, 100%.

299
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,360
They just hit better.

300
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,520
What was the last movie you saw in the theater?

301
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Last movie.

302
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:35,720
I'm pretty sure it's Wicked.

303
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,120
You saw Wicked?

304
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,880
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the last one

305
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,240
because...

306
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Well, it was only two weeks ago, yeah.

307
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,960
Yeah, I did the screen unseen Monday,

308
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,680
that Monday, it turned out to be Gladiator 2,

309
00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:53,040
so then I had to cancel my Gladiator 2 tickets.

310
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Then I went and saw Wicked, I think that Saturday.

311
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,840
So see, all you gotta do is go get you some Moana 2

312
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:02,240
sometime this week,

313
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160
and you'll have the top three movies and theaters right now.

314
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,440
Yeah, maybe this week and I'll go.

315
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,200
I have to see it.

316
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:12,840
I think it's a solid, again,

317
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,880
I think it's a solid movie, again, it's fun.

318
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600
Did you watch the first one?

319
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,440
Yeah.

320
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,280
Yeah.

321
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,360
So there you go.

322
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,240
So yeah, here's to hoping the movie theaters are back.

323
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,280
We like movie theaters.

324
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:26,480
They're so...

325
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,440
They just hit different, I think, in the theaters.

326
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,560
Like Gladiator or Star Wars or stuff like that.

327
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Like I think seeing it in the theater is different

328
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,680
than watching it on your couch.

329
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,720
Yeah, I think...

330
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,000
And maybe this is just me,

331
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,120
but when you get outside of your house,

332
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,480
it becomes like an event, right?

333
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:48,880
Especially after COVID.

334
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,120
And then if I'm on my couch,

335
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,560
there's a million things to distract me.

336
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,320
My dogs could come up and be like,

337
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,480
look at what I decided to eat today,

338
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,480
and I'm like, cool, or they need to go outside.

339
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,720
People are texting me on my phone.

340
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,120
Like I don't...

341
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,560
Like movies aren't probably getting 100% my attention.

342
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,800
But when I go to a movie theater,

343
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,160
I'm like locked in, right?

344
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Or at least I hope I am.

345
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,840
So actually that brings up something to talk about.

346
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,720
So I was actually talking to a friend about it the other day.

347
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,280
So I know you have A-list, right?

348
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,120
Yes.

349
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:29,960
Right?

350
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,320
And then my other buddy, Chris, has A-list

351
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:32,280
and we were talking to our friend Colin,

352
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,360
and he was like, why do you guys have this A-list thing?

353
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:39,360
And I'm like, three movies a week for $21, right?

354
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:40,760
And here's the thing,

355
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,400
somebody in the chat brought up the cost of movie tickets.

356
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,800
The reason I have stuck with A-list, right?

357
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,160
And I think you'll back me up on this is,

358
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,400
if I average two movies a month, I've paid for it.

359
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560
I've paid for my A-list subscription.

360
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,800
And unlike Regal, AMC does not charge you an upgrade fee

361
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,600
for IMAX or Dolby.

362
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,120
So if you're going to like the Dolby Prime

363
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,040
or the IMAX screenings, they don't charge you extra.

364
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,120
It's still one of your free tickets.

365
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,520
You get a free upgrade from medium to large

366
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,000
on popcorn and drinks.

367
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,720
You get a free birthday popcorn, free birthday drink,

368
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,800
and you still rack up your points for all your concessions.

369
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
So I generally have 10 or 15 bucks a month

370
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,040
in free reward stuff.

371
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,560
Yep.

372
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,280
The other cool thing that we've now used a couple of times

373
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,440
is if you have multiple friends with A-list,

374
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,480
you could do a thing called entourage

375
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,760
where you book all the seats and I'm like,

376
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,280
hey, I'm booking this for my entourage.

377
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,760
There's Jay and Chris and Doug.

378
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040
And it just sends them their tickets.

379
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,360
And I don't gotta like Venmo or take a screenshot

380
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,600
or do anything.

381
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,360
It just goes here.

382
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,720
And then when it pops into their app,

383
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,760
it's like, hey, this is one of your three for the week.

384
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:57,760
Yep.

385
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:58,600
Love it.

386
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,760
I'll tell you, if you're planning on seeing more

387
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,080
than two movies, two or more movies a month,

388
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,600
if you can find two or more movies a month to see,

389
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:09,560
you can do it.

390
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,000
The other thing that was brought up on again,

391
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,800
another one of the shows I watch is,

392
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,640
and Jay, I want you to talk about the screen and scene

393
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,240
again in a second, is I think it's helping the movie business

394
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,960
in that if there's like a movie on the bubble, right?

395
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Where you're like, do I wanna see it in the theater?

396
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,680
If you have A-list, right?

397
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,480
You're more likely to be like, you know what?

398
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,520
Yeah.

399
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,000
Yeah, I'm gonna go, I'll go catch it

400
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,760
because I don't have to pay any extra.

401
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,080
Like I saw the new Zemeckis movie here with Tom Hanks,

402
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,920
right?

403
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:40,760
Mm-hmm.

404
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600
And like, had I not had A-list in some time,

405
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,200
I would, I probably would have caught that one

406
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,800
when it came to streaming.

407
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,440
But I had a moment, Jess was off doing something with Jordan

408
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,280
and I was like, you know what?

409
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,000
Eff it.

410
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,920
Boop.

411
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,880
One of my three movies that I watched that month,

412
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,280
but I didn't have to pay for it.

413
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,080
You know, didn't pay any extra, just went in and saw it.

414
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,920
So there you go.

415
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,200
And then Jay, you've seen a couple of the screen and scenes.

416
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,240
Explain how that system works.

417
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,840
Oh, it's great.

418
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,080
So screen and scene is a cheaper movie.

419
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,720
So a lot of people don't like to use their A-lister

420
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:17,920
for the screen and scene.

421
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560
It's typically, I wanna say like $8,

422
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,320
but you do not know what movie it is.

423
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,280
And the movie that you are seeing is,

424
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,200
you are seeing it before it releases to the general Republic.

425
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Republic, oh my God.

426
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,720
General public.

427
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,240
So it's typically like a week or so

428
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,360
before it actually releases.

429
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,880
You pay like $8.

430
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,480
It'll tell you the ratings.

431
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,040
It'll say like rated R or rated, I don't know, PG-13

432
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,600
or whatever you go on that.

433
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,040
And the runtime, they always tell you the runtime.

434
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,640
Well, they kind of give you,

435
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,560
they don't give you the precise runtime.

436
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,840
They change the numbers up a little bit

437
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:02,240
because then you can't,

438
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,360
you can kind of guess what movie there is.

439
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:05,920
Like what movie it's going to be.

440
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,000
Yeah.

441
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,360
So the runtime's not exactly correct.

442
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:12,400
And you can go on Reddit and there's like a whole,

443
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,600
there's a whole Reddit like just dedicated

444
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,520
to like people guessing what movie it is.

445
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Now, if you are in Seattle, you have the luxury.

446
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,840
So you go on the app, you pick your seats,

447
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,040
like you typically would $8.

448
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,640
It's supposed to be a surprise.

449
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,720
You're not supposed to know until you get to the theater

450
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,000
and like movie starts playing and you're like sick,

451
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,280
I'm watching Gladiator.

452
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,280
But because we live in Seattle,

453
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,080
if you really, really, really want to,

454
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,680
you can actually go on to Reddit.

455
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,800
And the East Coast people are going to post

456
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,000
like two hours before Screen Unseen actually shows

457
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,120
in Seattle because I want to say Screen Unseen's

458
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:54,800
typically around like seven PM.

459
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Yeah.

460
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,480
So you can just Google and be like,

461
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,360
ah, what's the Screen Unseen for today?

462
00:20:00,360 --> 00:20:02,160
And then be like, okay, I don't want to go see that movie

463
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,440
and then cancel your tickets before it actually airs

464
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,200
and get your money back, blah, blah, blah.

465
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,160
Or get your AMC ticket for the week back.

466
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Yeah.

467
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,480
But the thing I love about the Screen Unseen

468
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,360
is that it forces me to see a movie

469
00:20:14,360 --> 00:20:16,200
that I typically wouldn't see.

470
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,120
So like people were pissed that Gladiator 2

471
00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:20,360
was the Screen Unseen.

472
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Which is silly to me

473
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,240
because you still got to see it early.

474
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,400
Yeah.

475
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,600
You still got to see it like four days before it came out.

476
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,880
Yep.

477
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,640
So I was like, oh, sick, here we go.

478
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,720
But a lot of people online were pissed.

479
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,240
I think they did that to try to drum up the talk

480
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,280
and the hype of Gladiator 2.

481
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,880
I also think some of the Screen Unseen's

482
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,120
have been pretty bad.

483
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,440
Like they're kind of indie films and stuff like that

484
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,040
where it's like, and people go in and they're like,

485
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,640
eh, or what was that one really bad horror,

486
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,360
the really graphic horror movie that came out this year?

487
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:00,840
Somebody in the chat helped me out.

488
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,160
There was one that came out this year

489
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,560
and they did that as a Screen Unseen

490
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,360
and people were really upset about it.

491
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,640
I like the concept.

492
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:13,080
And again, about the good reason to have A-list, right?

493
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,880
By the way, hashtag not a sponsor,

494
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,160
but AMC, if you'd like to give me some of your money,

495
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,520
I would take it, right?

496
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,560
If you'd like to sponsor the show,

497
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,560
we're already A-list members.

498
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:24,400
Yeah.

499
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,160
Okay.

500
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,520
So let us know what you think.

501
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,000
And then we'll see you in the back.

502
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Do you have A-list?

503
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,360
Do you like A-list?

504
00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:35,200
What do you think?

505
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,040
I like A-list.

506
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:49,720
See you all in theoder.
