No shade on him. This is absolutely no small achievement. But for many, the man himself is marketing. Millions, watch, and enjoy his YouTube videos over the last decade or two. I know I have and it's the only reason I knew about this movie. Literally, before last night. I had not seen anything else come up in any feed about the movie outside of Mark himself.

I hope it continues to blow up though. He absolutely deserves it. And it's putting egg all over Hollywood's face. Hollywood definitely deserves it.

Watching his fans get it from three theaters to three thousand was pretty amazing.
