Drake was questioned about the landscape for theatrical film releases, a hot topic for movie executives coping with COVID-19 variants and new waves of uncertainty about distribution models. He highlighted the potency of "big brands" at the box office, which he said are "certainly working." Drake didn't cite any other studios' releases, but pointed to in-house franchises like 'Hitman's Bodyguard' and 'Saw', whose latest incarnations will turn a profit despite the operating environment, he said.
