Matt, the two brothers who arranged distribution bought the film from Disney for around 6 million. I think you slipped a decimal point in there!

80 million box office won't be out of range, having done already 30 million (according to boxoffice mojo). However, this might weaken DVD sales in the end, although the timing of the release of the DVD might make it spike way up, as it should be VERY near election day, and should get good press coverage.

Overall, this will give Moore more than enough working capital to produce a few more interesting movies in the future.

Its doing a steafy 3-4 mil a day. probably will slow to a mil a day after Spidey comes out, even lower when it goes back to limited release. But he has a way of selling DVDs. and you are right, i imagine it will come out on dvd right around the middle or beginning of october. so 80 mil is definitately attainable for this film.



which would make it the second highest grossing independant film ever. behind "clerks" which has been selling DVD's for what 10 years?
