en To get there after one week on any book is remarkable, but to do this on a book that has an $8 million advance is Nirvana. There are a lot of [envious] publishers today. I wish we raised our bid.

en We really thought starting the weekend that we would be somewhere between $16.5 million and just over $17 million on 'Jungle Book,' based on the way the matinees played out, ... You're probably looking at a conservative $1.5 million to $2.5 million differential just on 'Jungle Book' [and about] the same for 'Shanghai.' On 'Recruit' it probably cost us $1 million to $1.5 million.

en There was enormous interest from publishers in this book. We met with numerous publishers and ultimately conducted a traditional literary auction.

en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers.

The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies.

en I've been told that this book will sell for years. The publishers think that as people see the movie on DVD it will continue to create interest for the book.
