First of all, uh, something that happened over the weekend that is a bit of a surprise, and I think I've talked about this before, the fact that it's very rare to see a Tom Cruise movie open to a poor box office.
Uh, I think there's still time for it to get fixed, though, because, uh, my assumption, I got no insight or info on this, I just have had this long-standing assumption that one of the reasons that Tom Cruise always has these hit movies with very l- [laughs] very little, uh, w- wavering in the success in his box office is that it has to do with Scientology.

But Tom Cruise is the guy, and he is the Patrick Mahomes of Scientology, right? He is the LeBron James on whatever team LeBron James jumped around to to win another championship, or at least try to, of Scientology.
How about that? The point is, I don't think Scientology lets him fail with these movies, and they have a lot of money, because that's what that whole thing is about, is about money.

His, uh, movie called Digger that was getting a lot of press, a lot of press over the course of the last few weeks, and this thing has been dubbed a bomb because of its $8 million opening weekend.
