[Blake heartily endorses himself as well.] Everybody says the Cardinals are doormats, ... I've tried to show the guys that perceptions are worth nothing. It might not happen overnight, but I want to get this team fixed. |
Any time you have a high volume of releases like we do, and the middle films stop working, that kind of hits us worse than anybody else. |
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. |
Everyone feels confident about the movies they've got going in. But I admit, there is little margin for error. Our big movies are going to have to come through if it's going to add up for the studios and the industry this year. |
Everything in it I've already seen. There are some (different) things as far as pass plays, but for protection, it's all the same. As long as I can protect myself, I have an opportunity to play the game. |
He's been playing football his whole life, and he knows how to play the game, |
I had to. I might not ever do it again. |

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. |
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. |
