I was honestly surprised to get even just the amount of bare shoulders.

The very strong implication that these two characters had slept together.

It was a little bit of a relief to me.

I thought, okay, they're not pussyfooting around this.

I mean, I couldn't think of the very last time that it was clear that two characters in a big tentpole movie had hooked up.

And I think that is actually sort of a big takeaway that people will have, not just from the second movie, but from both of these movies, which is...

Cynthia and Ariana are delivering something that is remarkably human-sized, given the epic scale of this project.

And they're not afraid to play these characters very real and intimate and small when they need to, which I think makes the big moments feel even bigger.

We treat that dog goddamn well, OK?

Gilbert, I'm going to need to know your thoughts on Zootopia, too.

It's been rough, man.

Like you said, yeah, a lot of these films have been underperforming no matter the star power.

You know, there's a really lovely Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst dramedy called Roofman that came out that I think back in the day would have made at least 60, 70 million dollars, would have been a word of mouth hit.

And people just simply didn't go.

There are success stories this year.

You know, you have Sinners, One Battle After Another, Weapons.

But in two of those three cases, what Sinners and One Battle did very effectively, in addition to just being good movies, is they felt like events.

They felt like you have to see it in this premium format.

And if you don't see Sinners in...

IMAX 70 or One Battle After Another in VistaVision.
