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.
