[Intro Music]

Disaster Movie MAYHEM! Sinners, New Trailers & Wes Anderson!

Josh: Hey everybody. Welcome to So Many Sequels, your book club for movies. I'm Josh.

Garrett: I'm Garrett.

David: And I'm David.

Josh: Well, here we are, middle of May—well, almost the middle of May. I guess you could say. It's the middle. Hey David. Mm-hmm. We're in our Mayhem Month where we're gonna be talking about disaster movies all month. We talked about Dante's Peak, so go check out that episode. Um, that's how we kicked off the month. Check us out on YouTube, "So Many Sequels." You can subscribe to the show there. You can also get the video in Spotify if you like to use it there. You can get the podcast anywhere you get podcasts. So subscribe, go listen to our Dante's Peak episode so you're ready for the rest of Mayhem Month. We've got The Day After Tomorrow coming up next. Very exciting. Yes.

Garrett: It's also Mother's Day as of this recording. So Happy Mother's Day.

Josh: It is. Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, mamas. "Mother Lover," yeah. Um, that's what I was trying to go for. Uh, but you remember the actual words. Yes. Happy Mother's Day to everybody. Uh, this won't come out on Mother's Day, but hey, uh, delayed is better than not at all, I guess.

Garrett: Right. Just in case anybody forgot in this box to wish their mother happy Mother's Day, do it now. Here's your chance. Yeah.

Josh: So yeah, there's a—I don't know if you guys ever see it. I think it's, uh, Garrett, you might, 'cause it's somewhere on Harvard, I believe. There's a billboard that just says, "Call Your Mom." And I never remember what business it's for, but I remember that it says that. So anyway. Yeah.

Garrett: Well, they don't need you to remember whose business it is. They what? They want you to call your mom.

Josh: Dang it. Do what that billboard says. Uh, but let's just jump in or, uh, right into what we've been watching this week at home, um, or elsewhere. David, what have you been watching?

David: Well, first, and I won't go into great detail about this, but Okay. Uh, it, it, every once a year, every year there's a, an unexplainable, uh, drive in my head to rewatch Ocean's Eleven. And so I did that.

Garrett: Always. Sure. I don't know why I get that. Couldn't control.

David: I understand.

Garrett: It makes sense. Yeah.

David: It's something about the music, I think.

Garrett: That it's part of the vibe, man. It's part of your male genes, I think.

David: And it just, I, you know, it soothes me.

Garrett: Cool Guys doing cool crimes. I mean, it literally spawned a genre for you.

David: Yeah. Yeah. It's on the Mount Rushmore for sure. In terms of that particular genre. Uh, and then—nevermind. Go, go ahead. Go ahead. What's up?

Josh: Uh, it was out of, out of, out of, out of context. I just love that you're wearing a "Top Dad" shirt on Mother's Day. And I just noticed it. [laughter]

Garrett: Yep. Same. Didn't notice that either. That's beautiful.

Josh: Applause, sir. Okay. Back to your story.

David: We've only got so many shirts for the podcast, so.

Josh: Yeah, no, I get it. I get it. But it's also just, it's perfect.

David: It, uh, then. Because I am such a great husband to the mom of my kid, uh, I watched a movie she's wanted me to watch for a long time. You guys are familiar with the concept of the "Nikki's Pick." We've explained that many times before. Yeah. These are movies that my wife chooses to make me watch. They all occupy, uh, on Letterboxd the region of 2.0 to 2.9. Uh, seemingly.

Josh: Sure.

David: So I watched 2001's On the Line. Do you guys know this movie?

Garrett: This. I feel like I've heard of it, but I have no memory of what it is.

Josh: Absolutely not. I saw it pop up in your Letterboxd review in our Discord, which you can join at somanysequels.com and I went, "What is this movie? Is that Lance Bass?"

David: It is. So go on. It is a film that Stars NSYNC's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone as lead characters. Uh, Lance meets a girl on a train. Uh, he's had a hard— Lance meets a girl. Lance meets a girl. The, the acting is not great. Uh, it, it is, uh, the way I put it in my Letterboxd review was this, "certainly was a sequence of images synchronized to sound." It was, uh, uh, not what I would call like a super great movie. It is a better movie if you are watching with someone who loved NSYNC as a kid and also loved this movie, I'm sure. So you know, better in a group. Do not watch it by yourself. You will be severely bored, I think. Um, Lance Bass meets a girl on a train and he's always so shy and ever able to close the deal with the right girl at the right time, blah, blah, blah. But anyway, he doesn't get her name and he doesn't get her number in the, in the world with very little, you know, good internet, what's the man to do? So he creates a campaign to find—like he has like flyers and stuff—to find the girl on the train. Well, what this ends up being, because it's, you know, you know it's 2001, every girl in Chicago starts calling him. 'Cause they're like, "Oh, I want to be the girl of his dreams that he can't find." A real, you know, reverse Cinderella situation where they're constantly trying to— "No, I'm the girl." But anyway, he just ends up meeting several crazy girls. His friends, including Joey Fatone, they start running a scam off of that, of like they start taking the calls and booking the dates with these girls. 'Cause they're like, "We have an endless flow. We have an endless influx of girls calling." You know? Uh, and if we happen to find Lance's girl—her name, his name's not Lance in the movie—then you know, hey, then we'll, we'll send her to Lance. It should be. And, uh, but weirdly enough also starring Jerry Stiller. So that was, that was a fun aspect of the movie of just Jerry Stiller. Now what I, I like locking Lance Bass—

Josh: Letterboxd. A Letterboxd review just led me to this very quick scene of, uh, Sammy Sosa.

David: Yes. There is a cameo in the movie, Sosa.

Josh: He, uh, hits a guy right in the nuts.

David: It does. In the stands.

Josh: And then he— "That's the third time this week."

David: Yep. That's his big cameo. He has a cameo in the movie. Dave Foley's in the movie. Oh, wow. Chyna is in the movie. Wow. Wrestling's Chyna, former WWF Women's Champ.

Garrett: Mhmm.

David: And so it is, uh, it is a hodgepodge of, of 2000-era culture. Lance wears a leather suit to work. It's very, uh, like, you know, it's full of those computers.

Josh: Where does Lance work?

David: He's works for an ad agency. He's a madman. Mm. But he's not really a madman. He's an ad man, but, uh, he comes up with this great ad for Reebok that gets stolen from him. Uh, you know, so it's—

Josh: Is he not 19 at this time?

David: No. No. I don't know how old he's supposed to be. I think Lance as a person was probably like 25 or something.

Josh: Oh, okay.

David: I think his charact- character's supposed to be like 26 or 27. Uh, wow. He starts the movie—the best, one of the funniest parts of the movie is that it starts off with Lance and Joey are in a band and they're like, "And we, we're all about the rock." Meanwhile, they're singing, uh, "Two Princes" by Spin Doctors. That was their song they were singing and I was like, "All about the rock? Two Princes? Soft rock." Anyway. Wow. Uh, it's very goofy. It's very not good.

Josh: Well, thank you for sharing that with us. One and a half.

David: One and a half.

Garrett: That's the good but entertaining section, or not good, but entertaining section for me. So.

David: Yes, exactly. It's more, and, and, and that, that half star is purely for sitting next to Nikki, quoting half the movie along.

Garrett: Valid. Fair enough. That sometimes that helps.

Josh: Um, what about you, Garrett? What have you been watching any, any, uh, boy band movies?

Garrett: No boy band movies, but I do wanna say that the movies that I put in here, Body of Lies and Death Race— Mm-hmm. While I did watch those, I just wanted this moment to be captured. When I say I also saw Sinners. Boys, I finally got to see it!

David: Oh, all right. All. That's why you drove out these trailers that had come out.

Garrett: Yes, yes, yes. Then that's what I wanna talk about. Yes, of course. That is exactly why. Um, I just wanted that moment to happen organically. So I did get to go see Sinners finally. It was really good. Um, I mean, talk about movie making you, that's really all that you can say. There's, um, thought, there's purpose. It's an original concept. And again, if you invest in something like this and are able to tell a story that is, you know, convincing and interesting, and man Ryan Coogler's just, he's so good at that. And Michael B. Jordan is so good at being able to bring all of this stuff to life. I mean, he's become, if he hasn't become our best actor right now than like, you know, it won't be long before he is. Really good.

David: No, and, and it, it has a real cool factor. I don't know, there's just something about it that just feels, feels very cool as well.

Josh: What did you think about the music? Mm-hmm. Particularly when we, when we go through these eras of music and how Ryan Coogler shows us that. I don't even know how to describe it.

David: Well, let's talk about that one scene.

Garrett: Well, I mean the, the music is, is incredible key. It it, like they, they set it up initially and so whenever you do that, whenever you create a situation where the music is part of the lore of this, whatever—

Josh: Mm-hmm.

Garrett: Then it gives you that opportunity to, I mean, you have to deliver. And man, when, for me, when he hit that note playing the guitar or driving in the car singing for, uh, Michael B. Jordan that first time. I mean, that moment was like, I, I jaw dropped at that moment. And so if it's the scene, I think you're talking about David, um, then yes, absolutely that whole one shot in and out situation where, you know, if you've ever seen that video of basketball players passing a basketball around and then a bear sneaks in, you know, just kind of in and out. Oh, yeah. And you don't even see it like, man, I feel like that's what that scene was. And to be able to choreograph that, not only with the people, but with the camera work. I mean, it's crazy. No, I, it's crazy. That's all I have. I mean, it's crazy. No, and that's, that's not even when you get to the, you know, the other parts that are in there and you know. Damn the vampires. That's all I got to say. Damn.

Josh: Yes, yes, yes.

Garrett: I know. That's all I got. That's all I got. Yeah. I don't want to give too much away.

Josh: Good, I'm glad.

Garrett: So like, I'll let you guys, if there's anything else you wanna chime in on, don't, but I also—

David: I also just wanna say also has, it's very, it's very funny at times too. Has good humor. Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. It's very funny. Get out and go watch Sinners. It just became the sixth horror movie, uh, to gross $200 million domestically in history. So, huge, huge. Um. Success for this movie already? Yeah, just in the short. I definitely want go see it again. I really would like, I feel like it's one of those that it'll just get better each time you watch it.

Garrett: I agree. I think it, I think it must, it must.

Josh: Yeah. I would like to see it again too. Go out and do that. Um, okay. I went out and watched, uh, an old movie for the first time, older movie. Um. People here in Tulsa, if you may, if you visit Philbrook museum, uh, you may know that during the spring, summer and fall, they do a "Film on the Lawn" series. I've never gone to this, but I've thought about it for years. Um, but I just never did. So ba- essentially, it's, it's an outdoor movie screening on the lawn of their beautiful gardens, and they were showing Mamma Mia! for this opening. They've got some more coming up throughout the year. My, the one I'm looking forward to. In October, we'll see it. It's gonna be a busy night, so we'll see if I can go. I don't know, but on Halloween night, they're doing Wicked.

Garrett: Mm. That'd be fun. Right? That's a good one. Um, weighs off, I assume. I still have not seen Wicked.

Josh: Yeah. It's good. Uh, it, it's a good fit for Halloween night. Mm-hmm.

Garrett: It'd be a good reason to go. Yeah.

Josh: It would be. Uh, so I thought, well, you know, people talk about how great Mamma Mia! is. I've always heard it's great, but it, it seems like it wouldn't be right. If you're an outsider, you, you might go, "Oh, Mamma Mia!" I don't know, you may not know that it's, the camp is appreciated. You know, I certainly didn't know for years. Um, and then when I saw this pop up, I thought, what better experience could there be to watch Mamma Mia! than at an outdoor screening with, I assume people who like it and will be enjoying it. Uh, you know, people singing along, you can sing along and stuff when you're outdoors, it's not as quiet and all that. So I thought, let's go check it out. They did so many fun things for this movie. They had a, like a photo booth with, um. Cardboard signs with the character's faces on it. Like you could hold up Pierce Brosnan. They had cookies 'cause of cookies in the movie. Um, I ate some snickerdoodle chocolate chip cookies, which I didn't know that was legal, that you could put those two together.

David: That sounds amazing.

Josh: No, but that's, that's apparently allowed.

David: A chipper-doodle. [laughter]

Josh: That's what I think it was called, a "doodle chip" actually. Which also I want to eat that. Yeah, it was pretty good. And um, uh, the people selling it there, it was benefiting the Women in Recovery program at Family and Children's Services. So we're also doing good with this event. Yeah. Um, so yeah, check that out. Check out what Philbrook's doing if you're in Tulsa, but let's get to Mamma Mia!. What a fun movie. I had been missing out all these years. Mm-hmm. I don't know ABBA, their, their music well, but when you hear that, you go, "Oh yeah, you do." Yeah, I do. You just, I just didn't know that's, oh, ABBA. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Um, so it's really fun to, it's kind of a ridiculous premise. You know, you got Amanda Seyfried is, is bringing in three men who, one of them could be her father and she wants to find out this weekend. Mm-hmm. She's getting married. Uh, Meryl Streep is her mother. She has no idea this is happening. And then they all sing ABBA songs throughout. Mm-hmm.

Garrett: Yes, you do. I know it's uh, it's super fun. Yes. It's been a while. Oh, it's been a while since I'veseen it. But it, I mean, I grew up listening to ABBA. I remember, you know, those CD towers in the nineties whenever you— Oh yeah. That was the way to listen to music. You know, my parents had so many different kinds of, like seventies mm-hmm. compilation CDs and so Best of ABBA was right up there 'cause it was alphabetical. So boom, you have ABBA at the top. And, uh, again, I love. The disco vibe, whatever it is, you know, this is disco of a kind, you know, and it's, uh, it hits with me. So yeah, I resisted it too for some reason, probably because young, why Not Young Garrett was dumb. But yeah, it's quite enjoyable.

Josh: It doesn't seem like a boy movie. Exactly whatever probably came. I think we were like probably 17, 18 when this came out.

Garrett: Yeah, for sure. Oh wow.

Josh: Moving on. Yes. Let's get into some trailer talk. We've got several new trailers for movies coming out that we're looking forward to. Um, the first one is a, we've covered a lot of the movies in this franchise. The Conjuring: Last Rites is coming out later this year. Supposedly the final Conjuring film, at least of this particular story, I assume since there's some spinoffs and all that. But this may be the end of the Ed and Lorraine Warren story.

David: Yes, and that's my favorite.

Josh: We, you know, this is, uh, we, we really liked that first Conjuring movie when we reviewed it a few years back. You can check that out at somanysequels.com.

David: Mm.

Josh: What do you guys feel, how do you guys feel about the, the trailer for this one?

David: Well, I'm excited. I, I, like I said, I liked the first Conjuring. Uh, Conjuring 2 is also pretty good. Um, I wouldn't, I don't think it's as good as the first one. Um, we, we reviewed Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It. Was that what that one was called for? Um, I think so. We reviewed that for this podcast and I remember being kind of somewhat disappointed with that one. It just kind of felt. I dunno, it just kind of felt like, uh, they, they had this cool idea for like a trial, but they didn't really focus on the trial that much. Um, so I'm hopeful that like, if they're kind of viewing this as sort of a closing the door on like the Warren characters. 'Cause the Warrens, I, I think really are the best part. Um, uh, oh gosh, what's the name of the lead actor? Ican't remember, but like, their relationship.

Josh: Patrick Wilson? Uh,

David: Yes. Has, has been like the best part about this whole thing. I could, I could see them still continuing on with some of the other spinoffs they've done, but, uh, but yeah, I, so I, I'm, I'm interested. I, I, I'm looking. I would, I'm trepidatious but interested.

Garrett: I would say about the same, you know, a lot of these horror franchises tend to overstay their welcome. And I would say that my reaction to the last one was also a little mid, kind of like, uh, it was underwhelming. Mm-hmm. Um. So I, I agree, David. I think that if this really is going to be the end of these two, then they want to pull out all the stops. So I'm really hopeful that it scares the bejeebers outta me.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's what I'm hoping is for something really scary again. Um, The Conjuring: Last Rites that will come out in September, September 5th. Oh, okay. Um, let's talk about this movie Weapons from the Director of Barbarian.

David: Um, yes. I'll give you a little synopsis here since you haven't seen it. The basic premise is, sure. For some reason, at 2:17 at night, every kid from, I don't remember her name, let's say Ms. Phillips's, Ms. Phillips' second grade class, got out of bed, walked out of their house, and disappeared in the night, and were never seen again. And so like the movie is like exploring the what, what the hell happened there? Why did all these, why did this, all these kids from this one class just suddenly disappear into the night? Did Ms. Phillips have something to do with it? Is, you know, somebody is something else happening more twisted? The mo- The trailer's pretty creepy and I feel like very, feels very Barbarian in that way. But, um, for whatever reason, I feel like this is the kind of horror movie I can do and I don't know why I feel that way yet. But yeah, so I'm, I'm intrigued.

Josh: I'm excited about it because they're doing some fun, um, marketing that I really enjoy, uh, when these types of movies do. When the move- when the trailer came out, um, I, there's a, Ican't remember where, it's not on this one, but there is a, uh, URL, um, that I went to and it was a, it looked like an old, almost nineties looking website for a small town newspaper that had a handful of articles about disappearing kids, and I read 'em. Nice. That's cool. Yeah. Then I find, I think I saw this on Reddit. That Warner Brothers put up an unlisted video on YouTube that's two and a half hours of surveillance footage of children running full speed outta their houses at 2:37 in the morning. No other explanation. So I love that kind of stuff, and it gives me hype for whatever this is gonna be.

David: Yeah, I saw a similar, yeah, that's very intriguing. I'll have to go check it out. Posted on TikTok, they posted a similar thing where it was like a minute and a half. And like somewhere around like the 22nd mark, you just see like a group of kids just running through the, like across the street, into the, into the night. Um, so yeah, they've got some cool, yeah.

Josh: All the kids going on just ran out of their homes running and all these Ring cameras catch it. Terrifying.

David: Yep.

Josh: Nope. Terrifying. And no one knows where they ran to. 'Cause eventually they ran outta camera site. Mm-hmm. Terrifying.

David: I know.

Josh: I know. So that comes out August 8th. Definitely gonna be paying attention to that one. Next on our list, another horror movie is Together. The one I will not watch. From, um, you will not watch this. No. Uh, from Real Life Couple and Creative Duo, I think at this point. Uh, Alison Brie and Dave Franco. Uh, this movie Stars, both of them together in, I don't know. Uh, it's one of those trailers where it doesn't give you reveal a lot of plot detail. Uh, it just shows a lot of really, like weird flashes of horrifying scenes. The poster has their eyeballs terribly close to each other.

Garrett: Yeah, I don't like the, I don't like the poster. Not gonna lie. Yeah. There's a body horror thing. What do you think? What do you think on this one, Garrett? David's no doubt already.

Garrett: Yeah, I'm super intrigued. So I really loved the last horror movie that they did together that Dave Franco directed. I can't remember the name of it right off the top of my head, but you and I watched it together, Josh, and I was like, "Holy crap, this movie's so freaking good." And you were like, "Yeah, it was fine."

Josh: Oh, yes. And so I don't remember what it was called either.

Garrett: But yeah, I don't either. Yeah, I just clearly made an impression. But. Uh, yes, they, these two work well together because they are a couple and I feel like they can lean into this weird, creepy, whatever the other person's idea was and be able to act the heck out of it because they're both really good actors and bring this stuff to life. I also heard, uh, some of the hosts from another podcast, Pop Culture Happy Hour Talk about this is one that they had seen, uh, South by Southwest, possibly. And they also raved about it and talked about it, and, yeah. It looks painful. Um, it looks like it's gonna really make me uncomfortable because I also struggle with the body horror stuff. Um, but I also kind of like that as long as I'm not seeing it by myself and as long as I have a crowd. And I feel like in horror movies, you are allowed to be responsive for sure. And a lot of people aren't, but like, please scream Yelp. Like let's have that moment together because it makes me feel better too.

Josh: Yeah, I agree.

Garrett: I'm, I remember I was so afraid to move, scare. I learned how to cross my, I in order to be able to blur the screen, but look like I was looking at it. [laughter]

David: Yeah. This, this trailer I have linked here, set to, it's gonna be one of those movies I think set to the, uh, you know, the trailer's set to The Turtles', uh, "Happy Together." Uh, it's, there seems to be some invocation that for whatever reason they are bonding. Like they're, they're like physically combining in weird ways and yeah, it looks maybe gross and messed up and not as bad.

Josh: Maybe they took The Substance.

David: Yeah, I know. It's very, it has very Substance vibes, but I don't think it's gonna do as, as well.

Josh: Well, let's, anyway, let's wrap up our trailer talk then with a, with a lighter looking movie, Wes Anderson's latest, The Phoenician Scheme. Mm-hmm. You guys watch this trailer? Have you seen this yet? Yeah.

Garrett: Yes. This is one that I got a chance to see and I have such a love hate you do with Anderson relationship, man. I love. His aesthetic. Mm-hmm. I love the cast. I love that the cast are willing to do things that are out of their comfort zone for his movies.

Josh: Yeah.

Garrett: I love his trailers most of the time, but then when I go see the movie sometimes I'm like, "Oh man, I didn't like it." And it happens enough to where I don't trust it. But this one reminds me so much of, um, uh, oh my God, the hotel one, I just went blank.

Josh: Oh, Grand Budapest Hotel.

Garrett: The Grand Budapest Hotel, and I loved that one. And so I'm really hoping that this one delivers on that kind of vibe. And so I'm excited for it. And, and usually I wouldn't cross that line with his because of my love hate situation. But I'm, I'm really looking forward to this.

Josh: Yeah, I'm too, I, I, I generally like Wes Anderson movies. Not all of them, but I'm a, I'm a fan, so I'm, I'm looking forward to this one. But How about you, David? You've never seen a Wes Anderson movie? You ever seen a Wes movie? Is this your first, do you think movie?

David: I don't know. Probably not. Um, I probably not. I think we talked about it. I think we talked about it with Asteroid City. I asked you guys, do you think I could just start with Asteroid City? Or do I real, do I need, would it be, would I, would it behoove me to go back and to watch his earlier works so that I could be sort of like conditioned into his style? Or should I just jump into his at like, you know, at this point, his very established style of movie making. And you guys were uncertain?

Garrett: Yeah, I mean, I don't think, I think it's up to you at this point in time. I think my recommendation for Asteroid City was just that you wouldn't like it, so don't watch it. Like I didn't have anything to do with that. It was more I don't think you'll like it. Yeah. And so don't watch that one. But I would say, I think you might like Grand Budapest Hotel. That's usually considered one of his best. Mm-hmm. Uh, you might connect with that one. Or, uh, maybe Isle of Dogs. It's, it's good, but weird, but I think you might possibly it.

Josh: That's a good, that's a possibility.

David: I think I would like his stuff because it seems like it has a very comedic vibe to it at times. Um, it's just a matter of, I don't know, it's just a matter of picking one and then starting, and then once I've started, I'll probably, I'll probably get more informed on that. Uh, he mostly lives in my head as a trailer creator at this point. Ah, yes.

Josh: No, I, I, I agree that The Grand Budapest Hotel is a good one. Um. Moonrise Kingdom, I think would also be one that you would enjoy. Mm-hmm. As a starting point, there's plenty more. Fantastic Mr. Fox. Fantastic Fox. I think you would also like that one Fox.

David: Did he make a movie called Bottle Rocket?

Josh: He did. He did.

David: Was that his first moon?

Josh: He did make a movie called Bottle Rocket. Uh, listen to, uh, I think it may have been actually.

David: I think, uh, there was that. I know Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend. There was an episode where he had Luke Wilson on, and Luke Wilson talked about how Bill Clinton would not stop talking to him about Bottle Rocket. Uh, because Bill Clinton just loves that movie so much.

Josh: How strange. Well, this one comes out very soon. Uh, The Phoenician Scheme will drop on May 30th in theaters, so go check that out at the end of the month. All right, let's, um, hit us with the, uh, latest box office, um, re- receipts and we'll get outta here.

David: Well, I'm done. I'm done counting them all up and Thunderbolts is your number one movie for the second week in a row with $33.1 million. Um, bringing, its, uh, total up to I think $128 million so far headed towards around $220 million. That's about where like Shang-Chi did a few years ago. So not quite as big as like Deadpool & Wolverine or Guardians of the Galaxy, but pretty in line with some of the, uh, early MCU days and some of the more recent ones as well. Sinners brings in $21.1 in its fourth weekend, bringing its worldwide total up to $214 million. So, uh, on a really good run there against the expectations that it had. A Minecraft Movie is at number three with $7.9 million, bringing its worldwide total up to $408 million, excuse me. Uh, domestic fill to $408 million. The Accountant Two is at number four with $6 million and the only debuting movie to make the top five this week, Clown in a Cornfield, brought in $3.6 million. Some other debuting movies this weekend, Shadow Force starring I think Kerry Washington and Fight or Flight starring, uh, Josh Hartnett. One of those guys. Um, one of those Josh—

Josh: Hartnett, not Ell.

David: Um, and then, uh, you know, I just wanted to tag this in here opening next weekend. So I think one, I think this movie will probably unseat Thunderbolts next weekend. It's Final Destination: Bloodlines. I imagine that'll do probably well enough to be the number one movie next weekend, but you also have opening Wide Hurry Up Tomorrow and The Ruse. So we've got some new, some more, some more new movies next weekend.

Josh: Sweet. I love it. I love, I love getting new movies in theaters. Go out and see 'em. Mm-hmm. Um, AMC A-List just added a fourth um, slot to People's Weekly, whatever you wanna call that ticket thing. So sign up for A-List. You get four movies a week. I, I, I still don't fill my three, but that four. Holy crap. Um, yeah, we've got disaster—we're in the middle of Mayhem Month. Go back, check out Dante's Peak.
