It s an epic film that has done very well, and will continue to do well as it goes through distribution. Part of it is effects-driven. And the effects business, just like the computer business, is growing so quickly. Technology is changing so fast. Again, with the GONE WITH THE WIND analogy, it was one of the first color films with a big budget.
People didn t make a lot of movies like that.
Now you get big budget, effects movies pretty regularly. Someone might be able to top it. If you look at STAR WARS, though, those effects seem just as incredible today as they did in 1977. And I agree with you, which is why I was going to the second part of my answer which is the story. And that s going to be the test.
