movie has already made more money at the box office than the last scream movie made in its entire theatrical run now i don't want to over emphasize it because if we if this was NUMBER_TOKEN right now scream would be the number NUMBER_TOKEN biggest box office opening movie so i mean let's so let's not pretend like it's one of the best things that's happened it would be number NUMBER_TOKEN but still i think this is much better than i thought it was going to be and i think it's more than a lot of people thought it was going to be and i think this is a really impressive thing and i'll tell you what else the movie theaters have been waiting for a new movie to come along other than spider-man that was going gonna show he can get some traction with the audience and get some people into the theaters and i know they're very very happy about that so yeah rob let me ask you this number one what do you think about the NUMBER_TOKEN million dollar result is this something they should feel good about not knocking about are you surprised about the number came out what are you thinking no it doesn't surprise me at all and um i'm happy that the movie is successful we've seen you know these franchises that have been around for a while i mean halloween's been around for a lot longer than scream but these these franchises horror franchises are things that their perennials on cable their perennials on physical media their perennials on streaming and people watch these things and develop it's almost like comfort food you know they've got multi generations of people that have been watching these things for literally decades and as movies as they keep adding more sequels they brought back a lot of you know the original cast again and sydney uh sydney and um it's it's great to see uh this kind of success and you know the guys who made um ready or not are great i thought they were great directors i love ready or not i thought it was a great choice to bring them on to this franchise hopefully it will catapult them into the ranks of they'll get an a-list big studio project now because of this so i think it's a win-win for everybody the movie's good people like it it's making money that's the way it's supposed to work no you get somebody like me who i don't understand the huge appeal of scream like i've watched all the movies i like the first one i i don't like them myself but it has a very very loyal fan base a very loyal fan and a very passionate fan base too i don't know how big scream the franchise as a whole is to you but what do you attribute when you look at this real passionate loyal following what is it about these movies that elicit that that passion and that loyalty to this franchise i have a theory i think of all the horror franchises this scream franchise the audience itself see themselves as members of the cast meaning that that's us like if we were living in a horror film if i'm going to high school and there was an actual horror film situation happening in my life the scream franchise is the closest that would be to what might happen to me so i think that the audience recognizes that and they see themselves in these characters
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
