Actually, the article mentioned Lost World, not the original (yeah right, "Jurassic Park II, Electric Bugaloo") Which I believe took in lower receipts then JPI.
Agree wholeheartedly with you regarding 46%, ouch. But Challenger then makes the mistake of using $133.20 as a multiplier... (a) that's average daily wage -- It doesn't take all day to see a movie, and (b) Higher wage earners, like lawyers, doctors, etc. are less likely to skip out than John Q. cashier.. (OK, I'm completely guessing about this, but it doesn't look like Challenger too this into account at all.)
Just do what my company did: sponser an event so everyone can go:) Hmmm, which client do I bill that to. . .
Really, now. The technology is interesting, but the user interface?!"Fancy a pizza?
Gad Zooks, that's almost SPAM!
I can see it now, some 30 years from now, where everything has been converted into Vending Machine form (what with the VMAPI coming out). Trying to get from one side of the street to other brings inundations of: Fancy a side of Beef? Fresh Marlboros! First one's free!! Lie on my Vendo-couch and tell me about your mother
Oh well, hopefully I'll have an anti-grav motorcycle and the ultra-high speed will Doppler these queries outside human threshold.
