I have for the first time had the phone call I thought I may never get. It usually goes something like this:
"Hi, It's Shane here, How did we do over the weekend? Are we holding onto our screens"
And the reply usually goes a bit like this:
(Akward pause first) "Errmm, Well it seems the good weather combined with the release of Terbinwonker 3 has damaged a lot of films this weekend blah, blah, and we're losing a few screens etc etc"
But blow me down if I didn't Ring optimum the other day and got put straight through to the boss who told me that not only has the film kept it's screens but it is going out on another 62 prints (we only started on 60 odd!) as well as the ones that are already out there. The figures are apparently mind blowingly good for the size of release and in the first weekend we have taken more than Dead Mans Shoes took in it's entire run. It seems that if it carries on like this that we may have our first millionaire, if that happens, it will have grossed more than everything else I have made put together.
The press TV and radio coverage we have received had played a big part, also the success of DMS on DVD has seen my work get out to a wider audience than anything before. All of that combined with the growth of this website and it's loyal members old and new have really given TIE the best possible chance of success and I am so happy to say that for once it is really paying off. If it continues to find it's audience in the cinemas and then on DVD, King of the Gypsies (the way I want to make it) could finally happen.
Many thanks Maniacs!
