What's interesting about this moment is um is that
Theaters are are full again.
Studios have released a variety of films.
that in some instances actually depart from the recent habits of
lo loading us up with superhero movies and sequels.
I mean, this summer studios invested in original stories and audiences really respond.
Studio execs are, you know, nothing short of euphoric about the results.
Um, they're optimistic that perhaps this phen this momentum will carry through.
to the winter months and particularly to December when Dune Three is released and when the new Avengers film reaches theaters, it is possible that this year could, you know, the the total box office in the US and Canada could exceed ten billion dollars, which is again a level it hasn't reached since before the pandemic.

Microdramas are indeed a phenomenon.
We saw this format uh gaining legs in China, and uh it has slowly sort of crested over the Pacific and reached uh reached our coast.
Researchers tell us about 66 million people are watching microdramas these days.
It's a it's an audience for the moment that's largely female, uh, ages like
uh twenty twenty-two to fifty-five-ish, um, in part because these are sort of uh rom-coms that are we're no longer finding elsewhere.
So so it's appealing to a female audience, but it is um it is reaching beyond that uh demographic as more types of stories are being adapted for this format.
Hollywood has definitely taken notice of this phenomenon.
All the major studios are beginning to experiment with
Vertical video, which which includes more than my merely microdramas.
It's it's video that's formatted for the phone.
Um NBC Universal, for instance, has has uh launched two unscripted series that are based on some of their familiar Bravo characters to try to tap into this phenomenon.
