  Speaker 1: One of six point seven Light FM. It's Covey Christine,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: producer Kristen and joining us from Hollywood, our dear friend
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Harry Medbed from the Cinema Foundation. Good morning, Harry, Good morning.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: How are you today?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'm great. I mean, I know, we just talked last
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: week and I'm thinking, like, wait, why are we talking
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: about movies the following week? But the reason I want
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: to call you guys is that this is an historic
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: time for movie going. We talked last week right about
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Michael and how well it was going to do, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you heard it here first on light FM that it
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: was going to reach one hundred million. The film is phenomenal.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: It's still it's going to have an incredible second weekend
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: because people are going back to see it again and again.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you predicted a huge opening and it had that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: And now we have another movie that I can't wait
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to see that we think it's going to be really
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: big too.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: We sure do. And this movie is totally tailor made
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: for you, Christine. In fact, I could have sworn I
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: saw you in it, maybe in the background and somewhere
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: on sixth Avenue. I could have sworn you were in
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: it right anyway, it's the Devilwares product too. And here's
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: another movie that once again it's hard to believe, but
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it was looking like one hundred million dollar opening.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I know the studio probably doesn't want me to say
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that because they're saying, oh my god, that's too high.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: There's no way we're gonna make that. But I've seen
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the movie. I've seen the ticket sales. I've taught you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: at the Cinema Foundation. In Cinema and I we work
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: with every movie theater in the country, so you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of theaters have already sold out a lot
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: of showtimes for this weekend, already like a million dollars
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: with showtimes. The movie's fantastic. It's a great New York movie.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: First of all. I mean, they've got the Met Galla
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: in there, although it's actually not shot at the Met.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It's shout out the American Museum of Natural History. You
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: see Central Park and Chelsea and Brooklyn in there, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: even Billy Joel's Long Island the State. There's a great
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: little helicopter scene over there, and then they go to Milan.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: It's a fantastic summer movie, and it really feels like
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the first big hit of the summer because even though
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: it's springtime, summer movie going season starts in May, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I'm hard to believe it's already May.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know how that happened. It's crazy, but no,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I love this movie. I'm very curious to see what
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: the critics think. The reviews are just starting to pour in.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I know some critics didn't love it. The audience absolutely
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: loved it. If you look also on streaming, the first movie,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Devilwar's product is number one on all the streaming charts
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: that just watch. It's the biggest catalog title out there
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: because people are sitting at home watching the original before
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: they go out to the theater to see the sequel.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Right, let's get us yeah already and set to go.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And then if per chance you haven't seen the first one,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: does this stand alone really?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Well? Oh no, one hundred percent. You know what this
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: is like. It's kind of like when people went to
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: see Top Gun Maverick. They were saying, geez, it's almost
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: like a remake because it was so much following the original.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: This one has very similar arc. But what I loved
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: about it you don't need to see the original. The
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: top four performances Meryl Street and Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Stanley Tucci. They all look exactly the same, even though
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it's twenty years later. I don't know how they do it,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: really do. And the story of the film is actually
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: much more realistic. It's about the consolidation of the media.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The opening of the film takes place at the Publicity
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Club of New York, where Anne Hathaway's winning an award
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for journalism finding out she's getting fired at the same time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, that sounds like real life. Yes, it is very much.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: We know plenty of people all across the media. There's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a lot of comedy in it. I just thought it
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was a fantastic escape. And I'm not the demographic for
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: this movie. I guarantee you. I think it's a great
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: time at the movies. It's going to do incredibly well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's a people pleaser though. I think even
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: if guys think they're not going to like it, but yes,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: absolutely no.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Everyone was smiling the whole time. And look, the message
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to get to you guys today is the
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: reason why people are flocking to movie theaters right now,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: is because there's something for everyone. You had Michael last weekend.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You've got Moral komback too coming up. Emily Blunt is
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: back in a Steven Spielberg movie called Disclosure Day coming up,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: which is an original UFO movie. So there's really something
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: for everyone at the movies and that's why we love it.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's so exciting to kind of see p pull back
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: at the theaters and really enjoying gathering together for a
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: shared moment in the dark and feeling inspired or laughing together.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And that's what people are going to get this weekend
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: with Devilwaar's Product to all right and you're guessing one
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: hundred million, We're going to come back on Monday and
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: see if you're right. Is that your guess? Come on?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Might be I'm going to say, let's say ninety five
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to one hundred. Don't be surprised if it's more. All right,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: We'll have an amazing weekend. Sounds like the Devilwaar's produc
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: is going to have an amazing weekend. Sure will, and
• 4:27
