In the U.S. that would be 1000M.
Still, those are some pretty big numbers. It makes me think of the current
argument about if the new SW film will pass Titanic in box-office totals.
Titanic did about what? 600M or so? Or was it around 700M?
And Hasbro paid 750M _just_ for the toy rights to SW?
Regardless of box-offfice numbers, SW has and will always be way ahead in sheer
profits. Though I have my doubts about if the new movie will make as much as
Titanic at the box-office.
