oh yeah but our yeah Pete's were happened to coincide with another big release within the community crazy rich Asians that's right we were on the road going from city to city but while we were actually at our DC stop that's actually the day of the premiere he's really exciting at this whole month you know people have been talking about it's been a lot of press it was cool cuz it was like you guys were on the road and was like almost like a handoff because you guys were coming till close to the the abattoir from one theater it's a next for crazy rich Asians it really felt like the momentum kept going so we had a sold-out show DC NUMBER_TOKEN some people but we're like you know what this for the movement after the show we rarely do this we rarely tell the fans where we're gonna be but we told them hey we're gonna be at this other theater cuz that's where I was playing and come meet us and we actually got like NUMBER_TOKEN some people to to go with us or to meet us there oh no Wednesday hey guys after already watching our commitment yeah I wouldn't have done it yeah it was well yeah it was waiting at NUMBER_TOKEN p.m. showing yeah but we had to make the opening night yeah there for us to say in history that we went on opening night we got to do it and we and we'd already seen it multiple times too because we saw like a pre-screening and then you guys were at the premiere right this movie was significant the reason why we're talking about why so much of our community is talking about even a lot of the industry's talking about this because is the first major studio film not five years yeah that has an all Asian American lead cast in a contemporary story so there's been other movies like the debut or middle of tomorrow look tomorrow those are technically independent movies they weren't funded by major studios right yes this was the first time a major studio from the get-go was like okay we're gonna put down a lot of money and go make this movie which is significant and therefore was very significant for us to support it because unfortunately in Hollywood you know money is the language that everyone speaks and judge bases everything off of so if this movie didn't do well then WB and everyone watching you know like all the other studios are going to say look they put in all this money and it didn't make its money back so we should not do that which is ridiculous because how many movies get to fail and I'm just like oh oh wow it flopped maybe next yeah but also like the story of the story of its creation with John and the writer of the novel Kevin Kwan it's actually really inspiring too because they were given an offer to make this movie on Netflix but they actually turned it down so that they can take this opportunity to make it for the big screen not knocking on Netflix movies those are still very important but there is something special about doing it the old school way and getting people to go to a theater I think that was the right decision to make and seeing the just the box office results opening weekend number one number one above the neg waiver the predictions - and then almost double the prediction thing I think it's interesting cuz we watched it a while ago and I kind of like didn't remember certain details oh my god we got a preview that's why and then I read it in between then ironically on the yappy
