The government is really concerned about the impact of AI companions on the
There's also sort of a macro level element of being concerned that these chatbots are going to feed into China's declining birth rates.
China already faces a major demographic crisis over the long term, and they don't like the idea of a large portion of their population kind of being sucked into these digital relationships rather than the real world.
Well, I think it's all about differentiating the experience from watching movies at home.
IMAX is one of just several emerging premium options at the movie theater.
Dolby has a very good one.
And really, each theater chain is trying to come up with their own as kind of a way to incentivize audiences to leave the couch at home, come out to the theater and see and experience a movie in a way that you can't.
It has, you know, a slightly different aspect ratio and some other high quality elements to it.
But there's nothing special or particularly revolutionary about IMAX over these other premium formats.
It's just a very, very good format to watch a movie.
Now, if he's going to shoot a movie, and this Odyssey is the first movie ever shot entirely
in 70mm IMAX format, then he would like people to watch the movie in the exact way that he created it.
And that's why he has made a big push to try to get people to come to the 70mm IMAX screenings for The Odyssey this week.
Yes.
You know, folks have been telling me since Oppenheimer's release in 2023 that he is the biggest movie star in all of Hollywood, more than any A-list actor, more than any other director or producer.
And there's a pretty clear reason for that, which is that his name and his name alone above a title can get hordes of people to come out to watch movies in a way that, you know, maybe in decades past, big movie stars, whether it's a Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, Denzel Washington,
might have had that same power and today you know it doesn't feel like that same market power exists for actors in the way that it does for big name directors and when you're talking about big name directors there is no one else in the league of christopher nolan at this point so yeah with that power comes the ability to make what movies he wants to make and he likes making the biggest possible most epic movies possible and the odyssey is his most ambitious project yeah
Yes, I think it's slightly different from that in that I don't think we'll ever get back to people going to a movie theater and then deciding what they want to watch or going to the movie theater two, three, four times a month habitually.
I think the difference is now you need to have a huge can't miss event movie like the Odyssey in order to draw audiences.
not just hardcore movie fans out, but the casual movie fans who maybe come out two, three, four times a year.
