Great Gazoo! A Movie Hit?
Yabba Dabba Doo! This is Fred Flintstone reporting live from my stone age computer. Turns out that fancy Apple company made a movie about those fast cars the 'F1' thingy. And guess what? It's a smash! Even better than when I bowl a perfect 300 at the Water Buffalo Lodge! They say it made more clams than any of their other movies even that 'Napoleon' fella's flick. Who knew a movie about zoom zooming could bring in so much dough? Wilma says it's because everyone loves a good race even if it ain't me chasing after a runaway dinosaur!
Apple Bites Back!
Now I ain't exactly a big shot Hollywood producer but this movie thing seems like a big deal for Apple. This fella Paul Dergarabedian some kind of fancy movie expert says this 'F1' movie is 'extremely important' and proves these streaming services can make movies that folks wanna see on the big screen. Maybe I should pitch my own movie idea – 'Fred Flintstone and the Great Gravel Pit Race!' I bet it would be bigger than 'Ben Hur!' Yabba Dabba Doo!
IMAX imum Impact!
So apparently this 'F1' movie got all fancy with something called 'IMAX'. Sounds like a giant sized TV screen to me! Turns out it’s so big even a dinosaur could see it! This IMAX thing gave the movie a real boost making a big pile of clams. They even kept another movie some 'Jurassic World' thingy out of the IMAX theaters in America because of it! Looks like even Apple can throw its weight around just like me at a Water Buffalo meeting!
Show Me the Money!
Now here's the tricky part. Making movies ain't cheap even if you're using rocks and bones for props. This 'F1' movie cost a mountain of clams to make and even more to tell everyone about it. And after they split the loot with Warner Bros. and the movie houses Apple might not be swimming in dough just yet. But they got more money than even Mr. Slate so they can take the gamble. I wish I had that kinda cash then I could finally buy that brontosaurus rib I've been eyeing at the butcher shop!
Not Just for Phones!
Turns out Apple ain't just doing this for the money. This Eddy Cue fella at Apple says they actually wanna make a good business outta making movies and TV shows. They even won an award for some picture called 'Coda.' Seems like they're trying to be more than just the folks who make those fancy little screens. Maybe they'll cast me in their next movie! I'd play a natural...a guy who loves rocks! Heh heh!
Yabba Dabba Doo or Don't?
So what does all this mean? Well it means Apple made a successful movie even if it cost a whole pile of clams to make. And it shows that even a tech company can make something that folks wanna see in the movie houses. Maybe it's time I traded in my rock phone for one of those fancy new models… then again maybe not. Rocks don't need charging! Yabba Dabba Doo!
