recovery of the movie business. it is the first summer that is fully, i don't want to say post covid because it's still around but the executives feel that consumers feel that they are now beyond covid, and the question is how much of the recovery is going to spill into the summer box office because that is the key movie making or grossing time of the year, and 40% of the entire year's grosses come from this eight-week, nine-week period. they need moviegoers to come back to the theaters, and they have these movies lined up one after another all summer, hoping to lure them in. >> i only named a couple of them. there are a lot of big name folks out there, big budget movies. how much nervousness are you hearing when you talk to folks in the industry? >> extreme nervousness because keep in mind, these are already normally expensive movies, but when you add in the added cost associated with covid, that can
which not many people think about now, but yeah, we did well. >> anthony: you've got to love that moment of corporate terror in the film industry when people are looking at the weekend grosses, and it's like, "what is this? who is this audience that did not appear in our metrics?" >> freddy: no, it was a great, great experience. detergent alone, can't.% oa
it's nice. it's moist. ♪ >> dana: i did have it. >> emily: if you guys could have any dessert for the rest of your life, what would you have? >> juan: if i was on death's row, i think i would have this. i'm going to be a fat man. >> dana: you have the best metabolism of anybody. >> frozen hot chocolate. that's our iconic drink. >> dana: thank you. >> enjoy. >> dana: you are going to love this the most. [laughter] >> jesse: you know what i noticed? greg wasn't in any of those. where were you? >> greg: i was busy. i'm not a big fan of watching people eat. a kind of grosses me out. you know in movies, people go to lunch and they talk about what
another earth shattering event, "wild style". >> freddy: i had an idea, if we could make a movie, and show that this rapping, this dancing, and this deejaying was one thing. so i was on a trip to germany not long after the film had aired, and i see these kids break-dancing. i'm like, "what the hell is going on?" as i got closer, i noticed the moves the kids were doing were the exact same moves that the rock steady crew does in "wild style". but i then knew that this was going to translate globally. >> anthony: i remember that film opening, and that was a nuclear bomb. and it ended up being like the second highest grossing -- >> freddy: second to "terms of endearment". which not many people think about now, but yeah, we did well. >> anthony: you've got to love that moment of corporate terror in the film industry when people are looking at the weekend grosses, and it's like, "what is this? who is this audience that did
kenyan company european foods africa sells ready made pizzas made by the german firm dr bird and imported from germany the business bought modern cold storage rooms with the money from the fund the company owner is a german who lives in nairobi six years ago stefan bell had the idea of selling frozen pizzas from germany in kenya. because contain normally arrive here in a container each container holds roughly twelve thousand pieces we store several different types here and deliver them to supermarkets and grosses. me out of supermax. and to expand the company we now have to find more locations so we can supply more i was leaving when i was there for. the investor expects stefan beltre to expand but isn't it a ludicrous idea to support the marketing of frozen fast food with development aid
this president. we're talking about a child. but so much of these behaviors coming out of the oval office are driven by the president's need to sort of self-soothe. people around him self-soothing. ndas that we talked about a couple of days ago, nondisclosure agreements really don't have any teeth. they're just the president. many of them don't even have them anymore. it's a measure to make the president who can't stop the mueller probe feel better, to change the subject and to say look, i did something, take that. and it's not going to change what john brennan says about him on tv. if anything, it's given brennan an even larger platform. >> the notion of self-soothing pretty much grosses me out. i want to share part of what "the wall street journal" editorial quote is. the more effective and politically healthy way to fight back would be for mr. trump to declassify all the documents under subpoena from congress about the 2016 election.
>> i want to say the banks did drop the ball but it's an easy ball to drop. we have a couple of balls to talk about here. one is, how does a man who grosses, $53,000 a year get an unsecured loan for more than half of his annual income? if i were the fbi, i would want to know if isis is working at the lendsing institution that gave him the money in first place. once he has that money, the bank is required any time somebody moves cash in the amount of $10,000 or more, they have to fill out a currency transaction report. it's a must. that's an easy trigger because they know $10,000, boom, triggers my requirement, i file the report. the second thing that the bank could have and should have done is file a suspicious activity report if they suspected that the subsequent smaller transactions were part of some sort of criminal endeavor. >> he gave 10,000 to his neighbor, 5,000 here, 5,000
>> go ahead. >> the problem is, i forgot my glasses, but -- okay. >> and the winner is -- >> indiana, 8668. >> before i came, i went to visit jane austin's grave to pay my respects, you know, and tell her about the grosses. >> roberto, you getting my jokes, man? you understanding my jokes? you're not understanding not a thing i'm saying, are you? all right. you think i'm funny? >> before my mom passed away about 18 months ago she predicted that this was going to happen for me on this film. she also made that prediction on every movie i've directed since 1983.
