No, I manage my expectations.

I projected, obviously, as producers, we always think, okay, this is what I think this will do in the opening weekend.
83:56
It did more than I projected.
83:59
Way more than I projected.
84:01
With other people, they are super shocked because nobody saw it coming.
84:07
Like nobody, not a single person in this life can come out and say they saw it coming.

And this particular project was... incredibly difficult and had like a lot of disappointments at some point I sent Uzo a message telling her that we're not doing it oh wow yeah I sent her a message and I was like hey I'm gonna pay you for writing you know we'll try again but there is no way this is happening because we had a partner and then I changed when we changed direction like she said they pulled out of the project and this was like three weeks to shoot oh wow yeah so it was like I had to find the whole money in three weeks and I was like do you want me to die I already have gray hair yeah I'm gonna die So I was like I'm not doing this And then I slept again and woke up.
