anyone bar biggest change concept criteria directors giant high hit invading movies raised sea seems wants week
It does feel that there is going to be a sea change in the business, that there isn't going to be a hit every week of the summer. It's a concern, and the bar for the movies that are going to do well seems to have been raised this summer. I don't think anyone wants to live in a world where you have to have one of the biggest movie stars, with one of the biggest directors with a giant concept like aliens invading earth, as your criteria for a hit. It's a pretty high place to put the bar.
audiences deliver expect fulfill movies summer
Summer is when audiences expect us to deliver excitement. Some movies just didn't fulfill that promise.
copies gets grim lightning matter planet security speed spend spread suddenly truth
The lightning speed with which these copies spread around the planet was horrifying, ... No matter how much you spend on security or what precautions you take, the grim truth is once a film gets uploaded on the Internet, suddenly it's everywhere.
frankly quite share
It's a buffer. We do them frequently, and quite frankly I think you're going to see them more often. Sometimes the way (to go) is to share the risk.

It's the biggest one-two producing punch ever. You've got to hand it to Jerry Bruckheimer.

The breaks started going our way at that point. We had some balls that went off of horses and other things went in our favor.
character drive fast judging learned lesson size strong talent
It's a lesson learned on judging talent. It's not how big you are, it's not how strong or fast you are, but it's character and will and drive and the size of a person's heart. Those things you can't measure.
kid movies people predict weekends whether
There were some weekends when you had the big new film of the weekend, when you thought you were going to be the only kid on the block. And a film that was a week or two old would be No. 1. There was no way to predict whether people were going to come out for the movies or what they were going to choose.
everybody gonna kids love saying time word worried
Everybody was saying they're gonna go with what they have. That was the word we were getting. But I wasn't worried about it. If it's my time to go, it's my time to go. I have my kids and would love to see them play.
men rest slot spot
This is about getting 'All the King's Men' right; it's not about the rest of the slate. We will slot it where it can have its due. It will be a high-profile spot for a high-profile movie.
action best biggest both clearly concern fare few four hit industry major past problems rely resonate scariest seemed share summer typical week weeks
The scariest part (of these past few weeks) is that usually you can rely on there being a hit every week of the summer or at least every week in July.

It just seemed that both were typical summer action fare that did not seem to resonate at all.
