You support utter crap like JC, but when (from what I've hear and obviously from its numbers) amazing film comes around, you let it flop?Sheesh! Priorities, people, priorities!!!People downloaded it on-line. And the general awareness besides the internet crowd is still quite low. Really low. Our distributor failed to carry a message to regular people.Fighting piracy here is like fighting against windmills. No one wants to listen and nearly everyone believe it is ok. This is really contagious. What is more when I buy something on Amazon some of them certainly believe that I'm an idiot. Why anyone should pay if you can easily get it for free???

Rudolf Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 They are ordered by the government for all public workers and recommended for private comanies. It's a very common practice to make a better use for holidays. So three Saturdays in a row will be working days. But Monday April, 30 will be a holiday instead and russians will get three days out of work Sunday-Monday-Tuesday instead of Saturday-Sunday-Tuesday.Next week will be the same. Saturday, May, 5 and Saturday, May, 12, are working days for Monday and Tuesday, May 7 and 8. And four days from May 6 to May 9 will be holidays.In Austria the companies decide, so it is possible the husband is free while hs wife has to work.

Fullbuster Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Given the success all around the world, even in France and Italy (Italy isn't in love with SH movies, so it's really impressive with its $2.7 million OD) I think many guys here underestimated the potential in Russia, for me it's $40 million finger in the nose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
