Investing in professional sports is a much smarter financial move than investing in movies

Putting money into movies is one of the most foolish investments you'll ever make in your life. Invest in sports. You know why? Because sports, people always want to go. Sports are seasonal. It's cyclical. Going to see a movie, that's a crapshoot, man. That's like Vegas.

As of the late 2010s and 2020s, sports franchise valuations have skyrocketed while the film industry has been disrupted by streaming.

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot will make money because people will pay for the freak value of seeing the characters return after 17 years

17 years later we're going to make a sequel, man. People are going to want to come out and see that just for the freak value of it alone. Even if they're like, fuck Jay and Silent Bob, they're going to be like, I want to see what these two old men are up to. So I think we're going to make our money.

The film was highly profitable through Smith's 'Roadshow' tour model, despite modest traditional box office numbers.
