>> AND WELCOME BACK TO BETWEEN
BELLS AND CHEDDAR NEWS BLACK
WIDOW FAST AND FURIOUS 9 OF THE
SUICIDE SQUAD. JUST A FEW OF
THE MOVIES THAT ARE COMING OUT
THIS SUMMER. BUT THE BIG
QUESTION IS WILL FANS BE HEADED
BACK TO THE THEATERS TO EVEN
SEE THESE BLOCKBUSTERS WHILE
CORE INTO A NEW
FANDANGO STUDY, 96% OF PEOPLE
PLAN TO SEE MULTIPLE MOVIES ON
THE BIG SCREEN THIS SUMMER SO
JOINING US NOW TO BREAK DOWN A
LOT OF THIS AND A WHOLE LOT
MORE IS
ERIC DAVIS, THE MANAGING EDITOR
OVER AT FANDANGO ERIC SUCH A
PLEASURE TO HAVE YOU HERE,
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
96% IS
INCREDIBLY HIGH. WHAT DOES IT
SAY FEW MAYBE ABOUT THE NEAR
FUTURE OF THE MOVIE BUSINESS,
ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE FACT THAT
JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO ABOUT 40%
OF THEATERS WERE EVEN OPEN.
>> YEAH, I MEAN IT NEEDS PEOPLE
WANT TO GO BACK TO THE MOVIES,
YOU KNOW IF THIS WAS A STUDY
CONDUCTED
OF WITH 4,000 TICKET BUYERS
4,000 PEOPLE THAT HAVE GONE TO
THE MOVIES WITHIN THE LAST
YEAR, 85% OF THEM HAVE GONE TO
THE MOVIES WITHIN THE LAST
3 MONTHS. SO THESE ARE PEOPLE
THAT ARE GOING THESE ARE PEOPLE
THAT ARE GOING TO THE MOVIES
AND SAYING THEY'RE THEY'RE
WANTING IN 93% OF THEM ACTUALLY
ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE
EXPERIENCE THEY REALLY LIKE
IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE
STAFF THERE 78% OF THOSE 4,000
SAY THEY'RE GOING TO GO AT
LEAST
5 TIMES. THIS SUMMER WHICH IS A
BIG DEAL BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE
DON'T GO TO THAT MANY MOVIES
ALL YEAR, SO IT JUST SAYS THAT
PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY TO
GET BACK. 2 MOVIEGOING AND INTO
THAT
EXPERIENCE. YEAH.
>> 5 TIMES THAT IS INCREDIBLE,
I MEAN I I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF
THERE'S GOING TO BE THAT MANY
MOVIE IS DONE ENOUGH FOR PEOPLE
TO SEE THAT MANY FILMS BUT
THAT'S INCREDIBLE I WANT TO GO
BACK TO THAT 93% NUMBER THAT
YOU MENTIONED
THAT USE THAT STUDY SAYS 93%
WERE SATISFIED WITH THE RETURN
TO THEATERS IS THAT BASICALLY
ALSO INSINUATING THAT
THEY FEEL SAFE AT THESE
THEATERS, ESPECIALLY GIVEN THE
FACT THAT THEY'VE BEEN
VACCINATED BUT THE THEATERS ARE
GOING TO GO EITHER WAY TO MAKE
THEM FEEL SAFE. YEAH EXACTLY
PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT.
>> PROTOCOLS THAT ARE IN PEOPLE
FEEL COMFORTABLE AND IT'S
CLEAN, YOU KNOW I GOT TO THE
MOVIES. A FEW IN THE LAST YEAR
AND IT'S LIKE THE CLEANEST THAT
ITS EFFORT
TO HEAD AND THAT GOES FOR LIKE
A LOT OF PLACES THAT WE'RE
GOING RIGHT IT'S VERY CLEAN.
EVERYBODY IS IS ON IT YOU KNOW
THESE THEATERS CARE DEEPLY
INVESTED IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
AND THE COMMUNITY IS THEN AGAIN
INVESTED IN
THESE THEATERS BECAUSE THIS IS
A PASTIME THAT WAS DON'T WANT
TO LOSE IN OUR LIVES AND I
THINK PEOPLE KNOW THAT
AND THEY WANT TO SORT OF
SUPPORT THAT SO I THINK IT'S
ALL GOOD NEWS FOR MOVIES AND
WITH THESE MOST ANTICIPATED
MOVIES THAT FREE OR FILMS THAT
WERE COMING OUT A YEAR AGO AND
THEY WILL
POSTPONED SO THAT JUST GOES TO
SHOW YOU THAT ANTICIPATION FOR
THESE FILMS IS STILL SKY HIGH
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE SUPPOSED
TO ORIGINALLY COME OUT A YEAR
FROM
THIS MONTH.
>> JACK BLACK WIDOW IN
PARTICULAR FEEL LIKE THAT MOVIE
WAS FROM LIKE 10 YEARS AGO, SO
YEAH, THIS IS NO DOUBT GOING TO
BE EXCITING
FOR THEM. THE ONE STATE I THINK
IS SO INTERESTING GIVEN THE
PANDEMIC 87% SAY THE MOVIEGOING
EXPERIENCE CAN NOT BE
DUPLICATED
AT HOME. I THINK THAT'S ME SO
INTERESTING GIVEN THE FACT THAT
YOU HAD SO MANY STUDIOS LIKE
WARNER BROTHERS, PUTTING MOVIES
ON HBO MAX DISNEY ESSENTIALLY
STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THEIR STRATEGY IS GOING TO BE
WITH CERTAIN THINGS GOING TO
THEATERS AND CERTAIN THINGS
GOING ON DISNEY PLUS
WHAT WAS YOUR TAKE AWAY WITH
THAT BECAUSE IT SHOWS CLEARLY
PEOPLE WOULD RATHER GO TO THE
THEATER HERE.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW I AGREE AND I
JUST WANT TO SEE THIS QUIET
PLACE PART 2 WILL BE THAT'S OUT
THIS WEEKEND IN A DULL
THE SETTLEMENTS OUTDOOR WE HAS
THEIR OWN SET OF WAS A SIMILAR
TIME MAX WHERE THE SOUND IS
MUCH BIGGER AND THAT
THAT WAS WHAT I NOTICED I WAS
LIKE WOW, THIS SOUNDS INTENSE
AND MERCK'S AND I THINK PEOPLE
WHEN THEY GO BACK
TO THE MOVIES AFTER LIKE NOT
BEING THERE FOR 14 MONTHS,
THEY'RE GOING TO BE LIKE WOW
LIKE YEAH HAVE A 65 INCH TV AT
HOME AND I HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
SOUND SETUPS BUT IT'S NOTHING
LIKE WHAT THIS IS WHAT WE
EXPERIENCE THAT THIS MOVIE
THEATER IS GIVING TO ME AND SO
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD RECOMMEND
IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SEE THAT
QUIET A SEQUEL IN ADULT THE
CINEMA AND YOU'RE GOING TO KNOW
EXACTLY WITHIN 5 MINUTES, OK.
THIS IS DIFFERENT AND THIS IS
WHY I'M JUST GOING TO. SO IT'S
ALSO INTERESTING WHEN WE LOOK
BACK AT
THE BAR.
>> BOX OFFICE OVER THE LAST
YEAR AGAINST THE PANDEMIC
REALLY PLAYED A ROLE IN ALL
OF THIS. BUT YOU KNOW, LET'S
GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT
PEOPLE WOULD GO TO THEATERS FOR
CERTAIN FILMS MAY BE THE BIG
BLOCKBUSTERS AND STUFF LIKE
THAT. BUT THERE WERE FILMS THAT
A LOT OF PEOPLE WEREN'T
INTERESTED IN JUST TO SHOW YOU
THAT PEOPLE WILL GO BACK BUT
MAYBE ONLY FOR SPECIFIC KINDS
OF MOVIES HERE.
>> WELL MAYBE I MEAN YOU KNOW
WE'RE WE
HAVEN'T GOT TOO FAR ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THIS PANDEMIC TO
US TO KIND OF SAY YEAH PEOPLE
ARE INTERESTED IN THIS MOVIE
OVER THIS MOVIE.
>> I MEAN OF COURSE THE BIG
BLOCKBUSTERS
THE BIG I CAN SEE THE BIG
FRANCHISES AND SEQUELS ARE
ALWAYS GOING TO BE FRONT OF
MIND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE
BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE LARGEST
AUDIENCES BUT I ALSO THINK IT
EVEN THIS SUMMER A LOT OF
SMALLER FILMS IN BETWEEN THAT
ARE COMING OUT WILL BE
IN THEATERS AND THEN THE FALL
WHEN WE RETURN TO A MORE NORMAL
AWARD SEASON.
I COULD SEE A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE GOING TO THESE MOVIES
AND WANTED TO SEE
YOU KNOW SOME DIFFERENT KIND OF
THINGS THAT ARE JUST BIG
BLOCKBUSTER SO IT'S A LITTLE
TOO SOON TO SAY ONLY PEOPLE
WILL GO SEE BLOCKBUSTERS AND
BUT I THINK A YEAR FROM NOW
WE'LL SEE SORT OF WHERE PEOPLE
ARE KIND OF GOING WHEN THEY GO
THESE WHAT ARE THEY INTERESTED
IN WHAT ARE THEY SEEING MOST OF
I WILL BE GOING TO SEE SOME
SMALLER INDEPENDENT FILMS
ON SCREENS THIS SUMMER BECAUSE
I THINK EVEN LIKE THE
BLOCKBUSTERS,
YES, THERE. BUT ALSO THE
SMALLER FILMS ARE ALSO MADE TO
BE SEEN ON THE BIG ON TO SERVE
YOUR TIME.
>> ABSOLUTELY I WANT REALLY
BRIEFLY FAST AND FURIOUS 9
CRASHING IT IN INTERNATIONAL
BOX OFFICE HASN'T EVEN STARTED
RUNNING HERE IN THE U.S. WHAT'S
YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON HOW THAT'S
GOING TO DO HERE.
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO
BE BIG I THINK IT COULD BE THE
BIGGEST FILM OF IT'S ALREADY
OFF TO A GIANT STAR
INTERNATIONALLY AND THIS IS
LIKE THE
PERFECT SUMMER. PLUS THIS IS
EXACTLY THE FILM THAT YOU WANT
TO IN THE SUMMER
MOVIE SEASON. AND YEAH, I MEAN
THE ACTION THE SPECTACLE I'VE
ALREADY SEEN IT IN THEATERS AND
IT'S A LOT OF FUN, IT'S ALL
ABOUT FAMILY AND YOU KNOW THESE
ARE THE KIND OF ACTION
SEQUENCES THAT. MADE FOR THE
BIG SCREEN EXPERIENCE AND SO I
WOULD RECOMMEND S NOT I WOULD
ALSO RECOMMEND
BLACK WIDOW IN THE HEIGHTS.
I THINK IS AN AMAZING MUSICAL
THAT'S NOT GOING TO AS MANY
PEOPLE'S RADAR WAS IT PUT THAT
ON YOUR RADAR BECAUSE IT'S A
GORGEOUS FILM ABOUT COMMUNITY
AND NEIGHBORHOOD AND AS A NEW
YORKER IT'S NEAR AND DEAR TO MY
