why do you say that 1/3 of the dvd sales would be repeat buyers?
Everyone I chat with has 2 sets--one to watch and one to loan out.
I bought a second set and donated it to my local public library.
Any way you crunch the numbers, we need help from the civilians.
And coming in at $160 million couldn't hurt, either.

I've purchased four copies so far so yes, I think it's safe to say there are many repeat purchases.

Thats a good point with repeat sales, but a lot of people I've lent the set to will be going to see the bdm twice, and they don't even have there own sets.
So this $80 million, doessnt just have to be from cinema ticket sales then?

As I understand it, it's the studio's percentage of theatre ticket sales (starts out at 80-90% but diminishes each week 'til it hits a minimum of 30%) plus DVD sales plus TV rights if it's ever broadcast plus the licensing rights from the books, action figures, etc.
Quote:But that's a very small percentage of the purchase price for books, toys, etc.
Don't forget all the profits from the book, the "Visual Companion", "Serenity Magazine", the graphic novels, the roleplaying game and eventually I assume some official merchandise
