and of course, then you also have to understand that the studios are majorly universal disney.warner brazzers, but as a rule they monitor what we do and if that is the material that we we record in the studio with the actors, it then goes to quality control. that is, we cannot record at all what comes to our mind , that is, we explain why this joke will play or why we decided to do it this way, that is, in fact, if the studio, the customer says that this is too much no, please don't do it, we won't have the right to do it because we are bound by contracts and purely technical things from the studio , that is, all we do is approval from the studios that order us to make this or that horse, well, now our conversation will be with his zelenko, he is the owner and director of cinemas, by the way, he is exactly the person who, uh, well, i was happy because finally the companies will show in the original language and with subtitles, but even he, by the way, there are many other people who are of the same opinion as serhiy, they say what will it mean for the industry of course, these

warner brothers, paramounts, universals, disneys? it has been as you point out a tremendously challenging time that began back in the pandemic and so forth, but also because of the changes in the way theatrical productions are presented to the public. >> yes look, i think that's a great question, because the economics of making a movie are very different today than they were let's say five years ago, before the streaming thing took off used to be most of the money that, profit from a movie home video. selling those dvds and selling rights to other tv networks. premium networks like hbos of the world and later on the free networks like fx. we're seeing with streaming now the model is you do the big movie in the box office and then keep it in-house killing the dvd sales and means you don't get that tv licensing from another tv network. the profitability of movies is much more challenged, which box office can be there. a little hit and miss obviously. but over alleconomics of movies are more difficult than they used to be more an expens

we do a lot of work with universal and you would expect with a lot of the studios, netflix, disney, paramountestors. what universal did last year it tested new ip. we do a lot with minions and the more known ip. they dropped some animated characters kids are never seen. and we were able to test from them how much kids responded to the different characters ahead of the debut and the moving theaters. with the larger toymakers in the world and others, let's find your next alien dollar toy line in the metaverse. let sample ip and engage the young audiences in helping us craft that great new toy at leiden. and really start to reverse that flow from digital to physical. but also think about the smarter cogs, supply chain savings. by doing your r&d and turning it on its head. caroline: it is interesting in this economic environment, all companies are focused on the bottom line. there can't be growth at any cost anymore. at the same time, we have this building around artificial intelligence that's always crypto currencies talking about ai and the metaverse. how much are you seeing them being torn abo
