Thank you very much.
Glad you found your requested page….you are most welcome Nick…thanks again for the suggestion.
Hi. Would you by chance have the original gross (unadjusted) for “Sword Of Lancelot”? My sire of my site would thanketh mightily.
Hey Mark….did some reverse engineering on this number…as some books are the main source….which is like standing on thin ice…lol But we have the domestic rentals a little more than 500,000 with an estimated actual gross of $1.49 million. It got no mention from Variety and 1963 even lists some movies in the 600,000 rental range….hopeth thatsth helps.
Muchas gracias!
Hey Mark…sorry I do not have much confidence in the box office number….I feel excellent about every other number in the table.
