Lions for Lambs made money, $63 million on a $35 million budget, so that's a 45% margin, the Post cost $50 million, so it needs to make $77.5 million to catch Lions for Lambs.

Mind you, it's the one of the few movies out there that I'm interested in seeing, Spielberg + Hanks + Historical, and I'm there, but I'll just wait for it to come to pay-per-view.

Over/Under on number of times they mention the current Washington Post is owned by CIA Contractor Jeff Bezos?

I feel like there isn't a lot of movies being made like The Post nor Lions for Lambs.

Maybe but the MCU has movie plans for like 202....something. So I won't doubt that it won't end- at least until China gets sick of them. I mean wasn't the last Transformer movie was literally saved by China's box office?
