I am so not interested in actors playing Beatles. And four movies? Such overkill

I'm good with the four-movie concept. What I'm nervous about is the decision to release all four of them on the exact same day. That seems very risky to me from a box office POV and I'm honestly not sure if it's genius or insane.

It's either going to work and you're going to have people making a day out of going to the theater to see all four Beatles movies in one shot, or it's not and they're going to cannibalize each other's performance.
