Two excerpts:

“We make a lot of shitty movies,” Meyer admitted. “Every one of them breaks my heart.”

===

Meyer is hopeful that the narrow VOD/theatrical release window is still a possibility: “I think there are a lot of people who won’t go to the theater and are happy to pay a premium price — whether $66 is the right price, or it’s more or less. I think there are people that would be willing to pay that price to not have to leave their house and be able to watch that first-run movie while it’s still in theaters, on whatever size screen you have at home. I think we have to be better about it, the studios, and the theater exhibitors have to probably be a little more accepting of what we want to do. We’ll have to find a way to do it together.”
