At least 36. I just hope my brother knows the assistant pro here like he reckons he does.

They like being in front. They don't like losing. Hopefully we can let them not like losing a couple more times.

There's such unremitting attention to the Oscars after the nominations come out. That automatically sparks greater sales.

I've got a contract in front of me now. Leon has a conference call with Washington Sunday their time (today, Melbourne time), so I'll wait and see.

We've found that sales of nominated DVDs do significantly better if they are released prior to the Oscar ceremony compared to after because of all the media. Later, it's more about the ceremony itself and not the films.

It's healthy to have a decent lag time between discs, but if there's too much time in between, there might be a drop off in interest. What amazes me is that no matter how obscure or generic a TV show might be, there's always someone who'll buy it. As long as the studios recognize this, they can manufacture modest quantities and generate respectable sales.
