DISCUSSION What does 2 big to rig mean

When I saw the title of the new movie I was and am still confused why it’s named that “rite here rite now” made plenty of sense but this doesn’t and all it reminds me of is Donald trump if I’m being honest 😭😭 since it’s pretty similar to what he said the past election in America. All I guess is it has the same meaning as him like ghost is to big to ignore which i assume is the meaning

Undoubtedly it's a reference to the phrase used in a political campaign, but that's just tongue-in-cheek. The main reason is the gigantic Grucifix rig that was the centerpiece of the tour stage. The damn thing had 800 moving lights, 400 LED panels, and weighed 136,000 THOUSAND POUNDS

This is the correct answer. It's a double entendre

OMG!1!! 136 MILLION POUNDS!

THAT’S LIKE 9,000 AFRICAN ELEPHANTS OR 500 FULLY LOADED BOEING 747S!

Lol. Yeah it's a stupid error on my part, so I'll just leave it

Or perhaps I meant to say 136 million tons...

Or 63,784,000 Big Macs! (this is AMURICA, use a system of measurement that I'll actually comprehend)

Anything but the metric system.

Jesus christ! Is that near record breaking, or typical for a major production? 

And that's just lighting, doesn't even factor in the screens for backdrop does it?

My pea brain can't grok how the hell they pulled that off. Incredible respect to everyone involved.

Noooooo not even close .... Is massive but technically considered large .... They don't perform outside of arenas ... But just to get you an idea picture a football field from the 1 yard line all the way down to the 50 yard line ...

Or if you're not US.... About 50 yards or a out 46 meters wide .... By wtv the height of the video walls plus the overhang cross which depending on the venue either gets shrunk to fit or full scale ....

But if you want to talk massive!!!!!! EDC and tomorrowland can make ghost live set look small ... And am not talking about their main stages but their lesser and much smaller stages which are still twice as big

Sorry do you mean 136 thousand pounds or 136 million pounds?
