'G.W.T.W. ’ DESTINED TD BREAK RECORDS
There’s every sign that Selznick’s estimate that he would make £5,000,000 out of ‘ Gone With the >Vmd ’ is far too conservative. It is reported that during a few weeks’ showing in certain key theatres in America alone, the takings have been over £1,000,000. That’s an impressive figure. Just how impressive you will realise when you consider that the sum is exceeded by the total world takings of only three films in history. Those films were: ‘Snow White.’ £2,000,000; ‘ The Singing Fool,’ £1,250,000, and ‘ Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse,’ £1,125,000. Yes, Margaret book has made a lot of money for quite a lot of people. And don’t forget that you’ll have to pay quite a handsome sum for tho privilege of seeing the film.
