I just saw this with my old man today. It was his second time watching it and he's been wanting to watch it with me after he saw it with my brother a while back.
I loved it.
The title fits the movie for sure, but I think it probably hurt the sales. I don't know what I would have titled it instead, but I think they should have figured something else out just from a marketing standpoint.
My dad was laughing when I was saying out loud what those scammers were going to say before they said it in the beginning because I follow those scams and know all the scripts. He said "I knew this would be right up your alley".
It was great seeing them get theirs.
I realize there wouldn't be a movie if they portrayed the actual boring buildings that the Indian call centers use, or the fact that a great majority of the people who do the scams in real life are just dummies without access to any real jobs otherwise, so I can forgive the movie for putting them in a $30 Million building with a bunch of primarily white Americans doing the scamming. That being said, they did a pretty good job portraying the scam. Those MF's run a $20 BILLION per year industry scamming retirees from the US and the UK alone. And just like the corrupt government who doesn't do anything about the problem in the movie, none of our governments are doing anything about the scammers based out of India today.
We need some real life Beekeepers to knock some heads together and blow some shit up.

2024 has been mostly crap....maybe just maybe something like Kraven or Beetlejuice but I think I've watched all the Hollyweird crap I can take this year
I might go back to looking for small arthouse cinema, however the small indie stuff is rarely supported so maybe try Foreign Language Non-Hollywood non-English films because Hollywood has been so crap.

Cinema seems over with Commiefornia type culture destroying film creativity, Hollywood or Hollyweird will have to give awards to a bunch of foreign movies again.

This weekend I saw some films. Reagan was playing. I had planned to see it, but there were no seats available. It was in a very small screen, few seats total.
But the people going into this theaters were all carrying armloads of concessions. Makes me wonder if theaters can track this - which films make the most profit through concessions vs. ticket sales. Those who use their movie rewards card likely got linked in the data, but how would this work otherwise?
I have to believe that if cinema owner knew about this, this film would be in cinema for quite some time - and with more seats, instead of being Sold Out all the time.

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to figure out if they offered some sort of rewards card. That's what I'd do. Either something like 5% off concessions or Spend X amount and you get a free popcorn or soda or something. You don't want to give too much or you're hurting the bottom line, but it has to be enough to make people go through the effort. Or they could do what the Illinois Tollway Authority did with the I-Pass and just let it be known that prices on concessions are all going up 15% across the board but will remain the same price as they are now if you get a rewards card.
I doubt they have any real way of tracking it otherwise, outside of people paying for all of this online first or something.
And until they force us into being a cashless society they'd never know what I'm up to. I pay cash for almost everything unless it's a huge pain in the ass to do so. In my life, that's for almost everything outside of monthly/yearly bills. So until the day we can only pay with a credit card or phone app, you'll never have a 100% complete picture.
