So it's made $105 million domestic now, $150 million worldwide.

Seems like it could legitimately be a $300 million movie.

This movie was made for $750,000.

So it's going to end up becoming one of the most profitable movies of all time.

I think the real comp here in terms of how successful it is is weapons.

This kind of a movie now, if you can create a story with a hook like this, with a couple of performances that are kind of unforgettable.

And you can build that word of mouth, and that's how you can find the success in this kind of a story.

Looking at the films together, do they feel like a Barbenheimer-style blip?

Do they feel like something that will be heavily exploited and wrung out quickly?

Do they feel like a guide path to a new era of moviegoing?

I'm genuinely curious what you think the impact of this is going to be.

So much credit claiming.

So many people who were not participating in the production of these movies, who didn't take the chance on these movies beforehand.

It is one of those things.

I think Backrooms was a little bit more predictable.

Not at this scale, but as recently as a year ago, I had people who know things say, hey, this is going to be a thing.

Obsession is completely different.

Now, Obsession did play gangbusters at Toronto, and it was acquired for $15 million by Focus.

So it's not like it was... It's not like nobody knew it had potential, but...

The fact that it is doing it opposite The Mandalorian and Grogu, which dropped 70% after two weeks, it's at $250 million right now, box office.
