This is hilarious, shacknews posted a story about a major cockup int he duplication of films for US cinemas. Basically some fool duplicated far too many and it's cost a feckin' fortune.

I asked how much each print costs, and he said that in total, it costs about $5,000 to have each set of reels delivered to a theater, meaning that as a very rough estimate the total costs incurred may be upwards of $27 million.

Seems this particular Uwe Boll film will lose rather a lot of cash since it only earned 1 million bucks in it's first week.
