And yet, just before we started recording, I saw that Obsession made $5 million on a Wednesday in its third week of release.

Which, as long as I've been following this, is in really odd, unusual, extraordinary territory.

So, like, give me your gloss on everything going on right now.

Yeah, that's not the same as this, obviously.

Obsession opened wide on 2,500 screens.

I think you used the phrase.

It is just the thing of a lot of people have been out of the habit of going to movies in the last 10 years.

And people are getting more interested in going back to the theater.

Plus, you have obviously younger audiences that are building a bigger relationship to it.

And then the phrase is word of mouth.

It's people saying, you got to see this.

You got to see Nikki.

You got to see what this experience is like.

It's really fun in a room together.

And that obviously, it felt like that specifically happened all the time for 75 years.

But-

It's close.

But the numbers, like they don't match up.

Like there's nothing like five million on a Wednesday for paranormal activity as big as that movie was.

And that movie basically invented Jason Blum, Horror Master.
