The force was not strong with this movie, besties.
I went to it.
It was a highly predictable movie.
And I actually predicted you would go to this movie, Jack.
But to sprinkle out some more context, the movie studio only gets 50% of those box office receipts, right, Jack?
So Disney needs to sell more than two times as many tickets as they have so far just to break even on this Mandalorian movie.
Add it all up, besties.
And that's how the world's top movie studio, Disney, did with its very top IP, Star Wars.
Help us, Obi-Wan.
You're our only hope to profitability.
Actually, YouTube might be the only path to profitability.
Yeah, that leads to the second part of our story.
So who actually did win the box office for the first time ever this weekend, Jack?
Two guys that Hollywood would have called amateurs one year ago.
Because these movies were directed by a 20 and a 26-year-old YouTube star.
Nick, the winner of the box office this past weekend can't legally drink to celebrate.
Yeah, get this guy to Martinelli Spritz.
You see, number one last weekend at the movies was a film called Back Rooms.
$10 million budget.
It was basically shot on iPhone.
