This was all in regard to the film only, I believe. I don't think it had anything to do with any other media. Is that right, @Matt Busby ? That was how I read it.
That's how I took it, yeah. I poked around for some numbers but couldn't find anything on the broadway/hollywood front except gross box office receipts, and we're talking profit here (at least, I think they said profit...it went by so quick, but my ears perked up because of the potential Beatles connection). The Music Man is still about 30th on the all time ...
