Ok and if tickets cost more would they have sold as many?

80 for Brady had a budget of 28 million and this far has made 34 million.

How much was spent on marketing? Not sure.

If it has profited, it has done razor thin margins.

The same place RomComs went

Theater tickets are more expensive, people reserve the movie theater for movies that need to be experienced in theaters.

Streaming services could probably make some of these less expensive movies...but at the same time are they going to draw anyone in and make them subscribe? If a show isnt retaining subscribers or obtaining new subs, its a cost with now return for a service.

If streaming services ever evolve into 'heres a service for rom coms, heres a service for family content, heres a service for action' then maybe thered be a place for them...

Very forgettable.

Insane the trailers saying it was from so and so from lord of the rings and was like dope, this looks tight.

Then I totally forgot about it and it randomly popped up on my streaming site a while later and I finally checked it out.

I usually have a pretty good memory even for things I don't care about, but I can barely remember anything from this movie. I don't even really remember the central plot struggle.

So I'd say this movie was a 4-5/10 for me. It wasn't glaringly bad which would put it lower. I didn't hate it while it was on. But at the same time there was no takeaway from it. Nothing from that movie stayed with me after.

A minnow has a much lower tolerance than a human

Air quality checks are all passing, what's the concern?

Air quality in Ohio passes all checks. I can guarantee that by the time it arrived in Maine, even more diluted, it still was safe in those quantities.

Put it on YouTube and cut it into smaller clips and drop those on tik tok.

Look,.I understand what you're saying, but you don't seem to understand why that's not relevant

This chart is measuring availability, not affordability.

Then what are you complaining about.

If someone made a chart called number of magnets it takes to scare away a ghost, would you come in and ask why milk steak wasn't included on the chart?

Ok, make your own chart

I've had nearly every dollar paid in returned to me via Maine's EOTC. Not quite forgiveness...but basically

I just got a free upgrade last year from 100 to 400

To be fair to spectrum, it costs more for them per customer to operate here

I used to recommend Robinhood just because it was free and no per trade costs or anything, but I think that's pretty common across the board over the last few years.

Either way, the platform doesn't matter a ton (as long as it's free).

Once you're in, you just put money into SPY or something like it. It's basically a single stock that represents 500 of the top companies.

Another bonus for Robinhood, it allows fractional shares to be purchased. So if a single share is let's just say 1000 dollars, a lot of people would have to save up for quite a while just to purchase 1 share. Robinhood (and I'm sure some others) allow you to invest with just those 5 dollars. I pretty much exclusively buy and sell in dollars these days rather than in shares.

I mentioned SPY as the one to buy, but there's probably a dozen or so other S&P 500 indexes by other names, their overall long term value is going to be pretty similar.

I set up recurring automatic withdrawals from my bank account a few days after pay day (into Robinhood) as well as an automatic recurring purchase of more shares every 2 weeks as well.

It's really a set it and forget it thing, you're not trying to buy low sell high or anything - you're just putting in money hoping that the us economy continues to grow. The companies in the sp500 change over time as new top performers rise and others fall, do they're doing the work for you.

Warren Buffett constantly tells people that this is the best long term strategy. Over a short period, a single stock can perform better, but long term trying to buy and sell and play the market just isn't anywhere near as reliable or safe

If sp500 stops growing long term, it's only because America stopped growing

Even at just 5% returns on the money per year, if you didn't invest another dime, it would be worth 21k in 30 years

The more you put in early the better - that same amount compounding 40 years would have been worth 35k at 5%

Quick note, historically the S&P 500 has averaged over 10%

I put 800/month towards retirement + whatever my 401k takes automatically (5% of 80k)

30, central Maine (or whatever you call area around Augusta), 80k/year

Married, household 160k, couple of kids

Mortgage ~1800
