because in the uk, for example, we've recently seen the empire cinema chain collapse, leaving sunderlandemas. cineworld has fallen into administration. audiences aren't going to the cinema. well, i mean, ithink audiences are coming back to cinema in good numbers, post—covid. i mean you have to bear in mind that in a world in which, you know, production was very much slowed down, but also the doors of cinemas were literally closed. in some places for an entire year and other places they open and shut. hollywood stopped releasing its movies. you know, the recovery from that is complicated, but i think it's actually going well. and i think we're seeing a lot more films being released now, which is certainly a good thing. should the theatrical window be longer? i think the average at the moment in 2023 is 30 days. yeah, it should absolutely be longer. the idea that the theatrical window needed to be made shorter is a fallacy. it was a fallacy. it was a short term thinking. it is short term thinking to appeal to wall street and appear to be innovative. but it's actually that well, if you if y
