Speaker 1: Coming up here in thirty minutes, we're going to go
Speaker 1: into the wayback machine and remember the time that Ben
Speaker 1: had an issue with the barn Swallow. But right now
Speaker 1: it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Boo track, another edition of things Skin is tracking. All right,
Speaker 2: thank you guys. So I'm very interested in this.
Speaker 1: Bennett just mentioned, you know, Centners being this big box
Speaker 1: office thing, and it's good. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you guys saw the news story this weekend, but you
Speaker 1: know there's been all this talk about tariffs and Trump
Speaker 1: had a tweet about doing a tariff on foreign films.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that. I didn't understand it. No one
Speaker 2: understands it.
Speaker 1: And but we had that conversation a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago where we were talking about it was Spielberg who
Speaker 1: said the best American made movie is The Godfather.
Speaker 2: It's like, well, what all does that entail?
Speaker 1: Well, just so you know, the we export way more
Speaker 1: American movies than we import, right, And so that's why
Speaker 1: one of the things that was big about Sinners is
Speaker 1: all right, what is its national gross and then what
Speaker 1: is its global gross? Because you can have a big
Speaker 1: domestic box office, but then you get a big international
Speaker 1: box office, and then that really boosts things dramatically. What
Speaker 1: is the movie that came out this weekend with the
Speaker 1: superheroes Thunderbolts?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Thunderbolts.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so it did great considering it didn't have
Speaker 1: any big name superheroes in it, But part of it
Speaker 1: is that it had a huge international gross as well.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you guys are tracking either the domestic
Speaker 1: or the international gross for a movie that came out
Speaker 1: this weekend. Besides Thunderbolts, was there any movie that you
Speaker 1: guys were aware of that was on your radar that
Speaker 1: came out this weekend? Anything that you can think of?
Speaker 2: No, I mean I didn't. I saw the when I
Speaker 2: was at the theater.
Speaker 3: I saw a bunch of ads for Thunderbolts, but other
Speaker 3: than that, I really hadn't heard anything about it.
Speaker 2: It was Centers was the one.
Speaker 1: I know, Fantastic Force coming, and I'm just my calendar
Speaker 1: is all about the Tim Robin and Paul Rudd thing
Speaker 1: May which is getting unbelievable pre buzz. You're like, this
Speaker 1: is the funniest movie in forever, so I'm sure we'll
Speaker 1: be all over that. Did you guys know that this
Speaker 1: was opening weekend for the movie Rust.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'd heard about that.
Speaker 3: Now why did they move forward, finish it and release it?
Speaker 3: To honor the the camera woman? Who or the filmographer?
Speaker 1: What was? I think that's one of the best questions
Speaker 1: anyone's ever asked, and I think it'll be asked forever
Speaker 1: in the history of not only film but business, because
Speaker 1: I stumbled across these numbers.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know it was coming out this weekend.
Speaker 2: Had y'all heard that it was coming out? I heard
Speaker 2: that it was still coming out?
Speaker 3: And I was like, what I had to like double
Speaker 3: glan and I the one I when it was told
Speaker 3: to me, it was like to honor the woman's life
Speaker 3: because she was the videographer film.
Speaker 2: Yeah, director of photography, and I was.
Speaker 3: Like, that's her last work, and so I'm like really,
Speaker 3: and actually she might have even just been.
Speaker 2: The camera operator. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: Okay, So if you guys don't know listening, Rust is
Speaker 1: the movie that Alec Baldwin produced and starred in in
Speaker 1: which he accidentally shot the lady behind the camera when
Speaker 1: they were rehearsing and he killed her and it was
Speaker 1: a big controversy. This movie opened in one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen theaters this weekend. Okay, I just want why don't
Speaker 1: we do this game style? We'll go around the horn.
Speaker 1: We'll start with you, Christina. How much money do you
Speaker 1: think this movie gross domestically at one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: theaters this weekend?
Speaker 2: What would be good and bad?
Speaker 1: I think good for one hundred and fifteen theaters on
Speaker 1: an opening weekend is probably in an independent movie is
Speaker 1: probably anywhere to five to eight million dollars.
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'm throwing that out there. Could be wrong.
Speaker 2: I'll go four million. I'm gonna say one million.
Speaker 3: Ben, let's see, price is right style one million and
Speaker 3: one dollar.
Speaker 1: I should have said a dollar, shouldn't I and one
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen theaters rust The Alec Baldwin film gross
Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: No one wants to see a western right now.
Speaker 1: No one wants to see Alec Baldwin, and no one
Speaker 1: wants to sit in the darkness of that movie and
Speaker 1: its story that is off. I went and did the
Speaker 1: math because you know, I can't do it off the
Speaker 1: top of my head anymore. Basically, at average two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventeen dollars per theater on opening weekend. I don't
Speaker 1: think you can go to see a movie for a
Speaker 1: family of four with two hundred and seventeen dollars anymore,
Speaker 1: can you?
Speaker 3: Wow?
Speaker 2: And that's probably because of what you said. None of
Speaker 2: us had any idea that it was the opening weekend, Right.
Speaker 2: They probably buried all the promo because.
Speaker 1: Of Yeah, and then you don't also want to spend
Speaker 1: money on advertising for a movie that's going to fail.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: He his fee alone, Alec Baldwin's fee to be in
Speaker 3: the movie had to be astronomical.
Speaker 1: Well, I think he was the executive producer, which means
Speaker 1: he probably took less. He's the one who's bathing in it,
Speaker 1: which is why for the last month or so you
Speaker 1: could see his new reality show Life with the Baldwin where, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's so rich and I could never figure out why
Speaker 1: he is doing a Western in New Mexico.
Speaker 2: Doing that work? Like, just do something else? Like why?
Speaker 2: Very strange to me. Why do these old.
Speaker 1: White guys get caught up and I want to sink
Speaker 1: my family fortune into a Western?
Speaker 2: I don't understand what is wrong with these people? Uh,
Speaker 2: all right, there it is, there's our things.
Speaker 3: Skin Weight is tracking coming up next in the Hollywood Shuffle,
Speaker 3: the series finale of a show we all love.
Speaker 2: We'll discuss it next
