You still have time to promote until I post those numbers (and Star Girl promo will count for both weeks).

And by $600, I meant 600 dollars, not 600 million...but either way, that's a stretch.

Thanks Spencer, I will get to it now.

How in the hell can a movie be made to only $600 dollars? The cheapest movies budgets are set over $100,000. It costs distributors millions to release a movie into theaters and promotion added to it plus the actors he's using are major actors which get paid over a million bucks alone.

Spencer, what do you think of my idea for using points with the production budgets?

The MPAA has rated Addison Trails NC-17 but will most likely receive an R rating on appeal (dependent on the description of the rape scene).

Winter Athletic Games in 3-D, 10.5: World's End, and Only When I Laugh have been rated PG-13 by the MPAA.

Gym Heroes has been rated R by the MPAA.

My Teacher's Wife 2 was not rated by the MPAA because they did not like "funny" as the content. Please list whether or not the film has sex, drugs, language, violence, etc. and how much of it is there.

As interesting as 10.5 sounds, Jethro, there's NO WAY IN HELL a film would run 110 hours...unless it was split into multiple, multiple parts.

And BlueLick, I like your idea, but I'd let proxio know about it...he runs the points.

Thanks Spencer for rating these as soon as you could. I had a weird feeling that Addison Trails would get a hardcore NC-17. My main goal is to make it PG-13 or a soft R. I will edit it down later. This is an important release for my studio so I want as a many audience to see it as possible. What would you prefer if it was dumb downed to rated PG-13?

10.5 is an interesting concept but Jethro you're not thinking right at all dude. You are giving stuff unrealistic run times and budgets.

I will send Proxio a message about that now, not sure if he's returning tomorrow or Monday?

"ADDISON TRAILS

Content: language, depictions of violence, nudity, sensuality, depictions of sexual activity including rape scene, drug use"

BlueLick, if you want a PG-13, you'd have to get rid of all the depictions of sexual activity including rape, some of the language, and most likely the nudity, due to the amount of content in the film. If you appeal the film (and explain how long/how gruesome the rape scene is), it could most likely go R without an edit.

[rodshooter]

10.5 sounds decent like it could be a massive hit there but BlueLick the movies you have on the way sound awesome. Only When I Laugh and Addison Trails sound like they will make me cry. LOL!
