Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 06-23-2003 09:26 PM                     Jack, speaking of advances, I had to carry a cashier's check for $20,000 and give it to NFS just to get the print of "Return of the Jedi" into the trunk of my car when it came out. We were forced to run it for 4 weeks, yet we still lost our butts on that one....  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-23-2003 10:02 PM                        quote: speaking of advances, I had to carry a cashier's check for $20,000 Ouch! Let's hope that print made you at least $33,000 in its first week! Of course, that wouldn't have happened if you had offered George 20% of your concession!  |  IP: Logged Paul G.

Because that's where Kelly is from, and it's also the theater she used to work at. And, they had the premiere there.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-24-2003 12:22 PM                        quote: Jack, it didn't. Yah... I'd have guessed that.  |  IP: Logged Ian Price Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1714 From: Denver, CO Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-25-2003 02:54 PM                     So, is it available on video yet?  |  IP: Logged
