update from the gregster's site.

"The PDL DVD drops 2 places to #10 on the DVD/VHS rental chart for the week ending August 3rd. PDL earned $5.71 million in rental revenue for the week. Total revenue now stands at $50.5 million."

and who said pdl was not going to make money.

$25 mil.

tpfkabi

does the 25 mil figure in the cost to do the whole video/dvd process?

has anyone dared to watch the pan and scan VHS version?
i wondered how much it sucked.

umm.......that makes me wonder how much of the 25 mil went to the cast's salaries

Luis Guzman doesn't work for less than $8 million per movie. But he's worth every penny.

seems a little excessive, i know he's a good actor, but you've seen the roles he's in. in magnolia, he has probably 10 mins of footage. jeez, film industry is a bastard.

yeah, shit, i'd be surprised if he got 4mill for any role he's ever done.

On a previous episode of "St. Elsewhere," I babbled:

QuoteLuis Guzman doesn't work for less than $8 million per movie. But he's worth every penny.

I would be remiss if i didn't point out that I was being just a wee bit facetious with that statement. I'm sure Luis doesn't get anywhere near that much per film. ... I am clearly not the person to attempt to make definitive statements in this matter, as I have utterly no knowledge of the pay scale for supporting characters in major motion pictures.

Um, I think that's it...

Take yer 8 million and divide it by about 25....and that is what ya get.

With the roles he gets, I thought he'd get paid in pounds of trail mix.

I bought the PDL DVD today.  I wanted it in a hard plastic case, so I waited until Hollywood Video started selling used copies.  No booklet.

The upcoming Australasian 'P-DL' DVD and VHS is only in widescreen. Not often is a new release video ONLY in widescreen. Just wondering, is the US video only in widescreen?
