Just in case you forgot, here are the last 10 Best Picture Winners: Coda, Nomadland, Parasite, Green Book, The Shape of Water, Moonlight, Spotlight, Birdman, 12 Years a Slave, Argo. Yeah, you can see how since Argo, it’s been movies that the consumers that go 4 or 5 times a year, and they are the core to our business, never saw.

And even though Top Gun Maverick didn’t win Best Picture, at least the film won that outgrossed 8 of the last 10 Best Picture winners (Green Book and Argo grossed more domestically).
