Remember how I was pointing out how I didn't get a cold yet this winter.

Well, I have one now.
Runny nose, sore throat, eyes hurt, and I'm achy all over.

Here is a quote from Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek:The Next Generation)

And he's basically correct.
Look at it this way, movies are only in theaters for a few months max. But once it's out on dvd, it's there for years and years. And likely will be on any future video format as well for decades to come.
So even if a film is a flop at the box-office, in the long run any movie will turn a profit eventually.
And that's not including tv rights, pay-per-view and any other distribution areas I missed.

I'm sure Larry knows this as well, that even blockbusters very rarely break even on just it's box office receipts. First you got the cost of making the film, marketing costs, print costs, the movie theaters share, back-end deals where certain people get a % of the profit and perhaps some other things I can't think of right now.
So after all of that the studio can lose money on just the box office. That's why merchandising, advertising tie-ins, and dvd, tv rights are so important.

This reminds me of Spaceballs where 'Yogurt' says ""Merchandising, merchandising, where the REAL money is made..."
I remember the lawsuit about Coming to America where some guy was suing Paramount to get a share of the profits. But Paramount said that the film didn't make a profit, even though it was a huge hit. Like I posted above, even a blockbuster can lose at the box-office.

Sorry if already posted.

In case you were wondering how to save the pics off IMDB and other sites that don't allow right-click save.

I use Firefox. Click on the File on the toolbar. Click on "Save Page as" and make sure the Web Page, Complete is chosen in the "Save as Type" field. Choose where you want to save the pic on your computer.

Once saved to your computer, look up the folder where you saved it to.
You should see two folders, one with htm and the other one with 'files' extension. Open up the 'files' one and the pics from the saved webpage will be there.

I don't know if these are new to you or not, so sorry if their not.

The link works for me.

Here is direct links to the pics.

Its' from the link found on the starwarsblog I linked to.

Roughly near the bottom of the page, it has a link to the Flickr page.

"Check out all the photos here:
Fanboys Premiere - San Francisco (via Starwars.com Flickr Blog)"

I did note that the starwarsblog is copyrighted by Lucasfilm, but I don't see anything on Flickr that these are copyrighted by Lucasfilm.

Since they didn't appear on the starwarsblog itself, I would assume that these are fine to use under the "Fair Use" laws, but I would check that out carefully first.

I've removed the actual pics because I'm not sure if it's ok to post here or not.

So here is the link to 3 pics of Chris at the premiere.
