They're trying to win Oscars, but they're also trying to make $350 million movies.

And now more than ever, seeing what a movie like Backrooms can do,

And also seeing what a movie like Spider-Man Brand New Day is going to do.

That is the whole business model.

That's the only business model that makes sense.

And I think it's okay like for documentary.

It makes sense for stand-up comedy.

It makes sense for, I don't know, maybe like even an experimental kind of thing.

And of course for licensing old movies.

But that period of time, that like eight or nine year period of time where huge movies would go direct to a streaming service.

We're going to look back on that as a complete oddity.

Like one of the strangest choices in the history of the business.

That's been a problem as well.

But we're more unforgiving of those movies when they go straight to streaming.

That's the thing is they immediately got kind of like tainted.

They were like, oh, that's a streaming movie.

That's not as special.

But anyone but you did that.

Chris talked about this last week and they put it in theaters and it made 300 million dollars.

Right.
