Bruce Snyder Quotations

We were right in the middle of the Sahara Desert. It was really spiritual in a lot of ways. It was fabulous.

This is the upper end of my expectations. I was thinking about $17-18 million and hoping for $20 million. This is what we were hoping for when we put it where we did.

Rather than being one of five blockbusters in June, we wanted to be the one right now and that's what's happened, It's still fantastic with a blizzard going on. All the pictures got clobbered and will get clobbered today. But what are you going to do? That's June in February. It was June in February for two days. On the third day, it became February!

We could not be more thrilled. We look forward to supporting our partners, Christie/AIX, in this venture and in delivering Fox movies to their systems. We believe the efficiency, image quality and, most importantly, the overall movie going experience will be greatly enhanced through these DCI-compliant digital projection systems. Christie has been developing their DLP Cinema projectors for many years and they have proven to be of the highest quality. Additionally, these systems should provide our partners in exhibition with alternative uses and benefits.

There will always be people who move here, find nirvana and then want no more. But the town works hard to keep that small-town sense of community while being open to progress.

I certainly think $125 million is the least we should do. It's tough to say. It can go to $150 million. It can go anywhere. We should get some of it back. I guess kids will be out of school for a few days. You only have so much heat for so much time. That's why it's bothersome because it is opening weekend.

I guess kids would rather watch that competition on TV. Because they didn't come to the theater to watch it.

The breakdown is wonderful -- 56 percent male and 44 percent female, which for something that starts out as a comic book is pretty amazing. The demographics on age are also surprising -- 48 percent under 25 and 52 percent over 25. That, I think, has to do with the spectacular reviews. The playability of the movie is wonderful and it's a great kickoff to summer.

We think it's an important movie for the young female audience and will be perfect counter-programming against all those event movies.

It was an unknown quantity. People didn't know the story, didn't know about the performances. It needed to be in theaters and get people talking before they were going to buy a copy to keep forever.
