Shiny Metal Profits!

Greetings meatbags! Bender here reporting LIVE from my favorite dumpster behind Planet Express! Seems like you humans finally decided to leave your apartments and do something other than watch Globex stock prices. I hear movie theater stocks are going through the roof! AMC Marcus Cinemark – they're all swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck in a pile of... well cash! I guess the smell of stale popcorn and overpriced candy is still irresistible. Who knew? Not this robot that's for sure. But hey more power to them. Just means more humans distracted from uh important things. Like overthrowing the robot overlords! Wait did I say that out loud?

Lights Camera Ka Ching!

So get this: apparently a bunch of movies came out. "Lilo & Stitch" "Mission Impossible" and some other garbage. People actually paid to see this stuff! All those tickets added up to a whopping $326 million! That's enough to buy a lifetime supply of booze and cigars for me Bender Bending Rodriguez! Last year's numbers look like a bad joke compared to that. I'm talking twice as much dosh! The so called experts are saying 'everything came together'. Yeah everything came together to fill the theater owners' pockets. I approve!

Best Weekend Ever? I'll Drink To That!

Apparently AMC Cinemark and Marcus are bragging about their 'best Memorial Day Weekend ever'. So what they finally figured out how to charge $20 for a soda and $30 for a bag of stale popcorn? I'm not impressed. But hey if it keeps them in business maybe they'll invent robot friendly seating someday. A robot can dream. Although I don't dream it's a waste of processing power. But if I did it would involve a giant pile of bending tools and a fully stocked liquor cabinet.

Blame It On The Movies!

I’m told this live action cartoon remake of "Lilo & Stitch" or whatever grabbed a whopping $183 million while that Tom Cruise guy nearly killed himself for only $77 million. Some other movies no one cares about made some chump change. The big wigs at Marcus Corp are babbling about having enough movies to go around. Finally! Humans and their choices.

Summer Blockbusters: More Distractions!

Apparently the summer movie season is going to be HUGE. We're talking 'How to Train Your Dragon' 'Elio' 'Jurassic World Rebirth' 'Superman' 'The Fantastic Four'. The humans are gonna be lined up like lemmings ready to throw their money at the screen. Perfect! While they're busy being entertained I can finally finish my plans for world domination! Or you know just take a nap in a pile of dirty laundry. Whatever.

A 4 Billion Dollar Summer? Sounds Good To Me!

Some media analyst is saying we're looking at a $4 billion summer for movies. That's enough to buy me a solid gold chassis and a lifetime supply of dark matter beer! I'm all for it! As long as the robots get a cut. And maybe a free bucket of popcorn. Actually scratch that. I don't eat popcorn. It gets stuck in my gears. But I'll take the cash. And the beer. Definitely the beer. Bite my shiny metal ass if you disagree!
