It's now hit the point for the AAA releases that we're only 25% of the gross at best, there's more money everywhere else. -- nm - Tim Apr 27, 11:46 7
- I get this, I do. What is the detriment of a universal release for everyone? Is it getting the stars to media events country specific? -- nm - Bacon Apr 27, 11:47 6
  - That's part of it. Also, different countries have different holidays, and the distributors also have different schedules. -- nm - Roger More Apr 27, 11:53 5

        But I am sneaking in candy so 7-11 gets some money there. A thought I just had. You know you are expensive when people go to 7-11 to save money -- nm - Bacon Apr 27, 12:12 2

Considering the rest of the world has had to deal with that for, like, forever ... maybe there's a debt to pay? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 11:44 1
