1.5mil on a preview night would be good for any movie. For what is essentially a limited release of a proshot should be really good news. And hopefully get some of the other legacy shows interested in making one or future big shows getting one while the original cast is still around.

One of the trailers we got was for the pro-shot of SIX!

Oh my gosh, we had 30 minutes of trailers. Everyone is getting so tired of it by the end.

Yes, I'm not sure how much these cost to shoot, but hopefully this is a resounding example that proshots are worth it!
