PatHOST
Well, the ones we talked about are the new ones.
PatHOST
I would say go to thenumbers.com and find last weekend's results so you'll see what has been out.
PatHOST
I mean, I'll tell you last weekend, Other Mommy was number one.
PatHOST
That's the big holdover.
Pete WrightHOST
Music by Tsabutan, I Am Daylight, Oriol Novella, and Eli Catlin.

Pete WrightHOST
[upbeat music] All right, Andy, how'd to do at awards season? So many awards.
Dave ChapmanHOST
We might also get some insight into what happened with the-numbers.com.
Dave ChapmanHOST
So if you haven't heard our episode with Steven Fellows on what happened at The Numbers, maybe drop into that first, and then this conversation with Antonio might give you a mirror image of, of what's going on in the background there.
Dave ChapmanHOST
And perhaps, you know, what you might do as a webmaster to avoid crash situations like The Numbers found themselves in a year or so ago.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Before we get to all of that though, what's confusing you this week, Rob?
Rob KernahanHOST
Well, David, it's a complicated one.

Dave ChapmanHOST
Right.
Dave ChapmanHOST
And if we just maybe step behind th-the experience for a bit and just talk a little bit about what's, what's going on behind to, to, um, to, to generate and then return such very specific contextual information.
Dave ChapmanHOST
And I wanna bring in something that happened to The Numbers website recently.
JeremyHOST
I disagree with Candace Owens on many, many, many things.
JeremyHOST
I think she's, she's probably like clinically insane, but it is entertaining content as seen by the numbers.
GageHOST
At least she's not like smarmy.
GageHOST
Yeah.

JeremyHOST
And regardless of what's actually being exported, like you said, price for gas is still very high, price for diesel is still very high, and the price for a barrel of oil remains high.
JeremyHOST
Which makes me think personally, because we've been complaining for a while about how the stock market, about how speculation on the oil market is not real.
JeremyHOST
Trump can just say some shit and then the numbers drop, the numbers incline, fucking whatever.
JeremyHOST
If this had any inkling of truth to it or even just like some copium injected into it, I would think the price of a barrel of oil would drop immediately.
Brodie KerrkillenHOST
True.
Keean Murrell-SnapeHOST
Elsewhere on the internet, um, I use a website called thenumbers.com for my box office figures.
Keean Murrell-SnapeHOST
Uh, elsewhere on the internet it says that it made $7 million.
Keean Murrell-SnapeHOST
I could not find a source for that number-
Dave ChapmanHOST
So let's go to our conversation with Stephen Follows.
Dave ChapmanHOST
He's written on the numbers recently and get some insights.
Dave ChapmanHOST
And I'm delighted to say joining us is Stephen Follows.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Stephen is a film data analyst.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Very, very nice.
Dave ChapmanHOST
Anyway, look, back to business.
Dave ChapmanHOST
So Film Data Analyst, before we get into a recent article that you wrote on Substack, which was about what's happened to a website called The Numbers.
Dave ChapmanHOST
We'll come to that.
Zach MellonHOST
So I'm going to be honest with you.
Zach MellonHOST
It says the budget was $19 million according to the numbers.com.
Zach MellonHOST
Some sources report that $37 million was also the budget at the end.
Sloane SteeleHOST
It had to be.
Adam ConoverHOST
It's literally destroying the sites themselves.
Adam ConoverHOST
The writer Stephen Follows recently covered what happened at the site thenumbers.com, and this story is terrifying.
Adam ConoverHOST
The Numbers is a site that has tracked and reported on film industry box office receipts for 30 years.
Adam ConoverHOST
Even if you've never used it, you've definitely been impacted by their work.
Trace ThurmanHOST
I...
Trace ThurmanHOST
Like, literally, like, uh, Box Office Mojo has one, Wikipedia has one, TheNumbers.com has...
Trace ThurmanHOST
They're all different.
Trace ThurmanHOST
And so looking-
