The numbers for FMJ surprise me.

This list is just fascinating! I could read it all night! It makes me wonder if the low earning movies were made for TV? Or direct to video? Like Crooked Hearts and Good Luck. And Guy only made $5,000? It must've cost so much more to shoot. I remember the first time I saw it and I decided to watch the credits and I was shocked at just how many people were involved. It truly felt like it was just the people we saw in the movie and 'Camera' shooting it. And of course there'd have been a few editors. Film making is not easy. My cousin majored in it at Ithaca and I knew a lot of people majoring in it at Emerson too.

I too, found this list fascinating to look over. I did some research on 'Guy' and I couldn't find much except that it was released in the US, Germany and the UK.

USA 17 December 1997
UK 22 May 1998
Italy 2 April 1999

I do know that in all of my digging for news, etc. that this movie is the one that everyone is looking for the most. I am thankful to have it on DVD and it's one of my favorites. If it was re-released, that 5 grand number would surely go up.

I asked me how real these numbers are. I don't believe that more than 50 % of these movies where only released in the US.

But I agree, it's fascinating to see the big differences.

I'd seen this list before and realized why some of these movies are so hard to come by. For instance, I'm sure if Guy were re-released it would make more than $5000.00 and that would just be from the likes of us. ;-)

Nantz said...

Antje, I think it all depends on the distributor and the rights whether it gets shown in other countries or not. vikeau, 'Guy' is one of those hidden gems.

Karen said...

very interesting like you said Guy is the one that people are after, I paid $75.00 for mine and it's only a copy from a video its certainly watchable but if I could I'd pay for a better quality DVD of it and I am surprsied it doesn't get re released too.

Nantz said...

They need to re-release it.
