How many rewatchables have been Netflix originals?
Extraction, maybe?
Okay, so you did Triple Frontier and you did Extraction.
No, we haven't done it yet.
Oh, you haven't?
Okay.
We're waiting.
But my point is, I know that you do mostly old movies, but the reason why those movies... We don't really do anything for the last five, six years.
the reason those movies are rewatchables are because they're good movies and you love them, but because you remember them and they were moments in the culture that lasted in your head.
Like when you said you were doing weird science, I remember the billboards and marketing for weird science.
When I was a kid, I remember that experience of going to the theater and seeing that movie.
And that's what Netflix is missing out on.
And they have a hard time with that.
So maybe if they buy Warners, they'll change their model and they'll put movies like that in theaters.
My guess is they won't.
Totally.
But you know what?
That's a sequel.
That's a sequel to a theatrical hit.
Jay Kelly is a small movie.
