    Show of Shows: You have entered the Foreign total of the Desert Song with the correct domestic instead of the 336K foreign total that it actually is with the domestic Just trying to keep your page correct. 🙂 Should be leaving a WW adjusted of $133.3 or 133.4 depending on your formula. If I am wrong, please let me know.

    Thanks
