Remember 2005 for comparison:

Hustle and Flow purchased at Sundance in 2005 for $9m, by paramount. Won one Oscar (song). It opened on 1013 screens, and grossed $8m its first weekend. $8k per screen

TDGI divide by 5 (200 screens).... $1.6m for 200 screens, would be lites out. From a revenue perspective TDGI only needs a gross of $2.5m to recoup its original investment (assuming they get 40% of gross, can't remember if it was 40% or 20%). At worst case if they go 200 to 400 to 600 and maintain a measly $2k average per screen, they would be at $2.4m by end of August, recouping their original $1m investment. The rest would be gravy. Try this formula using $8k per screen which is what H&F did in '05 and its an eye popping $9.6m by end of August. Just sayin.
