My eyes gravitated towards the numbers and I assumed they were monetary values. It didn't make sense because the numbers from all the cities didn't add up to the number on the far right of the chart. I see now it was percentage via the average business of the film.Its too bad they didn't post actual gross numbers. It would be interesting to see what the gross for that film was.

Netflix has the teaser streaming with very good sound, but the picture is the usual choppy, stop-motiony look, and it is impossible to download it, but possible to rip the sound. Hopefully your copy doesn't look overly VHSy so that I can adequately bring together the sound of the Netflix with the picture from your tape.

DougGorius wrote:When I asked David Schecter about releasing the stock scores for films like GIGANTIS or KKvsG, he responded with this: "Thanks for writing. It's doubtful all the tracks exist, and as the music used in each kaiju movie came from a number of different libraries, licensing costs would be too much, since everyone would want a minimum fee that is probably already too high considering the small market for such a project. They weren't real libraries that produced these tracks -- they were assemblages of film scores written for earlier motion pictures, and our label couldn't operate within the hazy legalities some of these "libraries" used. You'd have to license the tracks from a tremendous number of different source films, so the work (and cost) involved would be tremendous. Eventually, some of the scores from these source films will come out, like our MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD, which had tracks that were used in the U. S. KING KONG VS. GODZILLA. In fact, we'll be releasing another title fairly soon that will have music recognizable to fans of the U. S. versions of kaiju films."
