So when the movie dropped 20 percent, we knew it was going to be a great, fun ride. And a great drop, especially for a genre movie, is 50 percent.
And it dropped only about, less than 20 percent. You’re looking at the drop, the gross, the drop. PK: And what are you looking at? Are you looking at the numbers? Are you looking at.

Which is basically “Unfriended 2,” exactly. We have two movies here, we have “Unfriended Dark Web,” which premiered last night. PK: By the way, you’re here to promote your next set of movies, right?
