But this incident, along with another incident in San Francisco, when it killed one of the huevos, actually killed a bodega cat that was beloved around the city.

It's kind of backsliding a little bit.

And this might be the final time we talk about robo taxis this year.

It is a blemish.

But overall, I think this was a banner year for self-driving cars.

Waymo rolled out a bunch of new services.

We had Tesla rolling out its robo taxi service in Austin, as well as in the Bay Area of San Francisco.

So I think you have to say overall, this was, you know, maybe an A, A minus year for robo taxis exceeded all expectations in terms of how fast they

and how safe they were on the streets of the United States.

I think next year is going to be even more of an explosion in people as far as Boston, New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles, places that don't necessarily see robo-taxis.

Right now, we're going to see them in 2026.

And when you look at the number of people who actually saw this movie, the gap was even greater than the dollar amount suggests.

Around 5.2 million domestic moviegoers went to see Fire and Ash this past weekend.

That is a huge decline from the 8.7 million that went to Way of the Water three years ago.

And I think the thing with Avatar is it relies a lot on just casual fans.

And you can't even call them casual fans.

Because let's look at the actual fans of Avatar, and for that you can go to Reddit and subreddits, because that's where the hardcore people live for these kinds of movies.

The Avatar subreddit has about 200,000 members who post about 6,000 times a week.

Okay, let's go to the Star Wars subreddit.

Almost 1.5 million users with 33,000 weekly posts.
