  Speaker 3: Out there with the cinema. It is really good morning, Harry, Harry.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: I'm great, thank you.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: I woke up like four four thirty this morning because
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's just so much good news out there
• 0:24
  Speaker 5: and I can't hold it. I just can't hold it
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: to myself. So they've got to get it out there. Yeah,
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: it's just the biggest weekend of the year so far
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: for a non animated movie, for a live action film,
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: it's this weekend. And that's because this is the weekend
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: that Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey opens.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: And uh, I gotta tell you.
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: I saw it on Monday night and I went in expecting, oh,
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: come on.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: This is ridiculous.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: There's like every A list movie star in the book
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: is in this movie. And it's you know, the Greek
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: epic and like what it's Robert Pattinson and Tom Holland
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: a spider Man and Matt Damon and half Away. It
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: just seems like a little bit too many stars for this.
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: And I also thought, you know, come on, it is
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: three hours long. Is this gonna work? And I will
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: tell you the only problem I had with a movie
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: is that there's no time for a bathroom.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's that good.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: It's just it's really great.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: I mean it's so intense, it's relentless, it is riveting,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: and it is fantastic. It's a film that you definitely
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: need to see on the big screen. As you probably know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: the best place to see it is on a very
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: big screen, and a lot of them are sold out
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: already this weekend. But I'll tell you I went back
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: to see it again last night on a non Imax
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: screen like a Dolbey Cinema.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: It looks great. Okay, So people.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Shouldn't feel like I can't go it's sold out, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: don't know where to go. Pretty much, any large screen
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: that you see it on with good sound is going
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: to work for the odyssey.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: You're gonna love it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: This one was highly filmed in Imax or so what
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: was different about.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: It was filmed with Imax cameras. But I'm telling you
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: right now, I mean you don't have.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: To go to Imax. You enjoy this film.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: The other thing about it is that just looking at
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: the box offics, apparently fifteen million dollars it made just
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: in the previews yesterday, just in the Thursday showtime. Yes,
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: so we're looking that this film will probably open at
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: more than to one hundred one hundred and five, maybe
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: one hundred and ten million. It's one of Christopher and
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Nolan's biggest hits since the Batman movies, The Dark Knight,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: Dark Knight Rises, etcetera. So it's going to be a
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: great weekend for the movies. And you know, it's funny
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: that people talk about Matt Damon. How much money has
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Hollywood spent trying to bring Matt Damon home? The Martian
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: that was one hundred million, saving Private Ryan costs seventy million,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Interstellar one hundred and sixty five million, and now this one,
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: The Odyssey two hundred and fifty million, So it's about
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: six hundred million dollars to bring Matt Damon home.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That guy in demand, he really is just stay put.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's all about that, the journey of this movie.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is have you saying it's all about
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: the Odyssey. This weekend, and like, I feel like we're
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: returning to the theaters, which feels really cool.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Everyone's excited.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: If you look at Rotten Tomatoes, it's like ninety six
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: percent positive. I started looking at the audience reviews, it's
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: like ninety seven percent positive. It's hard to find a
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: bad review. And everyone's saying they enjoyed going to the
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: movies so much and seeing it at the theater and people
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: saying how awesome it was just to have the collective
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: experience of people gasping together, cheering together. And this movie,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: once again, it starts out with the Trojan Horse, like
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: it doesn't waste time. That's what I love about Christopher Nolan.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: You walk into the movie, it's like, oh, we're right
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: in the movie. It's like there's no setup, as you're
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: right there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So after this weekend, so we have a lull next week,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: and then in two weeks we'll be talking about Spider Man, Right,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: that'll be the next big one.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Well next week I'll be hosting a panel
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: at Comic Con in San Diego, and people, you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: everybody says we're sick of superhero movies. Supergirl didn't quite
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: work as well as they thought Thunderbolts not quite as well.

• 3:58
  Speaker 5: sales we've seen for any movie.

  Speaker 5: at the movies with a lot of big surprises.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And Harry, just a note for the kids. Minyon's producer
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Kristen was interested in taking her kids to see it,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and we're hearing some of it maybe a little intense
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: for them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know that it's intense.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: It's uh, look, I loved it because I'm a fan
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: of old movies, so it's it's kind of a love
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: later to silent filmmaking in Hollywood.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure why it didn't do.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: As well as people expected, and neither did Mawana, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: it might just be because Toy Story five was so
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: good people went to see it over and over again,
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and you have to be selected about.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: One movie to take your kids too. But no, me,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think meing Is is too intense. I loved it.
