"The Lots" being the operative word. That number includes Universal and other lots.

My understanding is that it is the second on this lot.

There is a lot of plywood used, so it's amazing that there aren't more fires.

According to the President of Universal, though, all of the classic movies that were lost in this incident have been stored digitally, so they can be replaced.

Not the original, but better than nothing.
