Thanks, Nelson. I remember the "significant and dramatic"
comment, but my distrust for Hollywood accountants makes
me want to know the details.

Thinking deeper about this, a standard licensing deal
pays per unit manufactured or sold. It is based on the
gross sales, not the profit a company might make from
the sales. If the movie is structured similarly, then
the fees back to Leisure Concepts from the movie will
be based on gross. Hence, the box office gates reported
in the mainstream press will be directly relevant to
the EPS of KIDE.

Anyone disagree with this reasoning? Movie earnings
could make "dramatic" an understatement. And a key
would be to sustain Pokemania long enough for the
second movie next summer.

Hmmmm....
