For what he calls a solid title pre-orders can be around 10,000-12,000 in the first year, for a film with higher potential it can be 20,000, 30,000 is the top.

I agree it's a lame article.
Hmm, I must've missed that. I guess I just wish that people would see that not every release can be another By Brakhage Collection.domino harvey wrote:We have our moments
That's a great article. Stein doesn't get enough credit, and I loved seeing how all of those conceptual drawings have come to fruition. Am I correct in understanding that Ron Haver's commentary for King Kong, the first commentary track ever, was done in exchange for weed?gubbelsj wrote:Interesting interview with Bob Stein concerning the future of publishing, in which he discusses his early days with Criterion and laser discs.
