And that it was at least a double when the economy recovered in 2010.

Now it's plateaued for the last 10 years, but it reached 200.

And he said, well, actually, I stole it.

I was like, jeez, you don't have to say that.

But, I mean, just to let this land for a second, company quite out of bankruptcy for $30 million, got to $100 million market cap, and then sold for $10 billion.

We hear the stories of Walt Disney and Disney's Folly and making Snow White and Disney's Crazy to build Disneyland, but people called you crazy as well.

Yeah, and it's hard to fathom that now because it seems obvious, right, with Marvel looking back.

But the only reason I got the chance to do this

in retrospect, is that it wasn't because of my resume at the time.

I had never made a movie before.

I was smart, had a good... And imagine selling this.
