Update – About those coordinates at the end of of this trailer of Midnight Special:
– I searched the coordinates 34.1768, 118.3523 in Google Map but it leads to some lost place in China, so I was confused.
– But then LordObama, a clever fellow movie fan over at IMDb, pointed out that we should actually search for 34.1768, -118.3523. And the corrected coordinates points to someone’s backyard in Burbank, California.
– Warner bros does have a big facility in Burbank. But I still fail to see the connection with the film.
– I also learned that a late-night musical variety series that aired on NBC during the 1970s and called “The Midnight Special” was produced in the Burbank Studios (formerly known as NBC Studios).
And I then stumbled upon a song performed by Genesis at the show: “watcher of the skies” and the lyrics could be related to the film, not sure.

Any idea?

“Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, Sing stars Buster Moon (Academy Award® winner Matthew McConaughey), a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.

Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one final chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Five lead contestants emerge: A mouse (Seth MacFarlane) who croons as smoothly as he cons, a timid teenage elephant (Tori Kelly) with an enormous case of stage fright, an overtaxed mother (Academy Award® winner Reese Witherspoon) run ragged tending a litter of 25 piglets, a young gangster gorilla (Taron Egerton) looking to break free of his family’s felonies, and a punk-rock porcupine (Scarlett Johansson) struggling to shed her arrogant boyfriend and go solo. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee believing that this is their shot to change the course of their life.”
