Jgideon, I can only guess that based on the low cost to make the movie and the cost to do voice over to English, it should be a very economical movie to produce. Given the recent post regarding all the phone calls about the premier, I'm getting almost as excited as my kids although for another reason. Good luck to all fellow KIDE investors.

All good questions. >>>Does KIDE get a percentage of profits or was it a set fee for their involvement?<<< KIDE will get a royalty. >>>If it is a percentage, how much and is it gross or net profits?<<< Same percentage as they get from other licensees. Net profits I believe, but I could be wrong. Al Kahn said that the KIDE profits from the movie not to mention promotion, etc. will be and I quote "significant and dramatic." >>>Who owns video rights?<<< Don't know, but KIDE will get royalties none the less. Earnings will tell much of this story. In the past, KIDE's 4Q revenues has been at least 3x that of the 3Q. So it will give us an indication of the financial momentum going into the strongest quarter of the year. I'm looking forward to it. 3Q earnings should be released some time around the movie. So look for 3Q earnings starting Nov 10. I have heard another source mention the Monday following it Nov 15.
