All the time, everywhere. i honestly actually don t feel like we want for anything just yet, but always looking out for what s the next thing and who s the next person coming along. and your predictions last question from me you know, your predictions for the future? what will the movie business look like in 15 20 years time? will you still be running universal? 0h, probably not no, definitely not. at that point talk about the next generation, that will be the time for them to tell their stories. but, no, look, again, i think we might see more consolidation amongst the studios. you know, we re a 100 year old business, and it would be nice to think that it could continue another 100 years. but i think, again, with technology enabled distribution mechanisms, that ll probably change quite a bit. but no, i mean, i think that, yeah. hollywood will still be here? ....
For people watching this, listening to this? i do. i think we all have to remember, you know, that the activity or the joy of going to a movie theatre and seeing a movie in a movie theatre with an audience, with your popcorn is immense, and it s something that s really baked into our dna, i think. storytelling is in all of us and what better way to engage with a story? and i also don t think that, you know, it has to be binary we can enjoy things at home on streaming, of course, i love to sit down and put my feet up with a glass of wine and watch a great tv show, or even a great movie. but in order to make movies matter and to make them connect with the cultural zeitgeist, and to create movie stars and to create directors and careers, it really does need that. it needs that theatrical experience, really, in order to do that. ....
