Happy about the Hoppers projections going up. It’s doing better in regions where Hail Mary is doing just okay so that’s a balancing act. And amazing news for Pegasus 3. Do you think it’ll enter the top 10 soon or is that too far away?
It’ll be so interesting to if P3 ends up on the worldwide top 10 highest grossing and what Hollywood movie it will battle for that spot.
That raccoon on the Hoppers poster looks like the one from Pocahontas.
