"If I had that answer, I think I'd have a lot of money coming to me,"
"We just need to figure out how to change that narrative."
"I think COVID and iPhones really have made us a little lazy. It's also expensive to go to the movies, so I understand."
"I just love seeing movies in the theater. But it's hard to convince people who don't want to leave their house, much less go pay $60 for a movie experience if they don't go, 'All right, this is a giant movie. It's a world-building movie that I need to see on the big screen.'"

Roofman follows Jeffrey, a well-meaning thief who escapes prison, hides in a Toys "R" Us, and falls in love while trying to reunite with his family. The film is a nuanced character drama with humor and heart, based on a true story. Theatrical distribution for films like Roofman has become difficult compared with two decades ago. Changes in audience behavior—accelerated by COVID, widespread smartphone use, and high ticket prices—have reduced theater attendance. Major blockbusters and event-style movies increasingly dominate theatrical screens, making it harder for smaller, quality films to find theatrical windows despite continued critical and artistic merit.
