He's got faith the movie will find its groove on streaming -- with all the hate it’s gotten, people will be dying to see this "strange monkey film," and he’s calling it now -- a future cult classic in the making!

00:00It was the 10-year-old boy at his grandma's house in Istanbul, Turkey, begging the TV
00:10for Robby's music videos to come on so that I can be enriched by the power of his art.
00:16And it's really through his music that I got to learn English.
00:19So for me, despite how the movie does, the fact that this human being has done so much
00:25to me in my lifetime, and then in such a beautiful full-circle moment, take the baton to officiate
00:33me and my fiancée on the spot.
00:35It was just something so, so sweet, and for me, he's always a legend, despite how the
00:42movie does.
00:43I mean, at the end of the day, this is not your usual biopic.
00:47The fact that he decided on a frickin' CGI chimpanzee to play him, it's such a new thing.
00:55And I think that this flurry of press that the movie is getting right now is actually
01:03a very good thing, despite the fact that, okay, maybe it's not doing as well in the
01:07U.S. market.
01:09Now people are familiar with him.
01:10They're going, what?
01:11Oh, Robby Williams?
01:12Yeah, I think I've heard of him.
01:14He's the guy who was portrayed as the monkey in the film, right?
01:18So again, like I mentioned, should Robby do any other kind of promotional tour here in
01:23the U.S., or once the movie appears on streaming platforms, then people will be more familiar
01:28with him and give him a chance.
01:30And I think that's going to be, I think this is going to be a cult film, essentially.
01:34It's going to garner some attention down the road.
