WOW...let me get this straight. They delayed the release of the movie for one year so they could collect $70,000. Oh wait...they never collected that 70k did they.
They must have waited a year to get MAYBE a LITTLE extra boost on sales. They delayed the revenues thereby delaying the "tech" for a few extra bucks. Yeah...that's it. Delay the movie thereby delaying the tech. Since they were counting on revenues from the movie to fund the tech...how smart would it have been to delay the release of the movie?
Let's hope they're not incompetent as you suggest.
