Did NL really sell all foreign rights to GC?
If so, I bet they're kicking themselves. Its already up to nearly $200m abroad, (ie well in excess of production budget) and that's without Japan.
I still think that a FotR-type length (3 hours plus I think) would have improved the film a lot - the editing felt really excessive. With the amount of over-long films I've sat through (King Kong and Casino Royale both spring to mind - a James Bond flick should never go over 2 hours, its just wrong) here's one that really could have done with a more "epic" feel.
