Thanks Scooters,

I note on the Magna Pacific web site they appear to have quiet a number of movies, Accidential Husband, Over her Dead Body, and Rightous Kill and others. Are these the "full rights" that you speak of or is Penelope different? Is there an average box office taking?
Surely MAGNA would be experienced enough to be able to get more right then wrong? I thought I read that AR grossed 20 Million in the States, so I wonder if there is a rule of thumb of what to pay base on US sales or are the rights sold well before hand? (This system need to be changed to bidding a percentage of takings rather than lump sums)

What did you think of the idea of releasing movies accross all regions at the same time and have you heard anything in this regard.

Appreciate your thoughts

Regards

Oscar
