Exiting question, what's wrong with my code?

seems to have an issue exiting. Not sure what's wrong.

firedoor.py 
import sys

while True:
    ask = input("Do you want to start the movie?")
    if ask.lower() != "n":
        print("Enjoy the show!"):
            sys.exit()
    else:
        sys.exit()

Looks like you placed a colon at the end of your print statement. Also unindent the first sys.exit (syntax)!

you have syntax error in print line ( unexpected colon ), and indentation error on first exit instruction. the correct code should be:

import sys

while True:
    ask = input("Do you want to start the movie?")
    if ask.lower() != "n":
        print("Enjoy the show!")
        sys.exit()
    else:
        sys.exit()

for this chalenge do not use loop, try this:

import sys

ask = input("Do you want to start the movie?")
if ask.lower() != "n":
    print("Enjoy the show!")
    sys.exit()
else:
    sys.exit()
