Broken windows: if this is Monday, it must be Variety

Variety's Ian Mohr examines a few shards of broken windows in this week's version of where the industry is headed: "One studio honcho admits that when he and his colleagues see a pay-per-view boxing match earn $55 million to $100 million in one evening, they start talking about simultaneous bigscreen and PPV launches" but ""A movie like 'Napoleon Dynamite' can run eight or nine or 10 weeks in release," says one studio subsid exec. "The time that's allowed for these films to reach the windows increases value. If you collapse the windows, can you still do that?"
