In short, the losses it get from those Greeks who choose not to view it could be well mitigated by those who want to see and better understand the "mysticism" of stepping.
I have a feeling that Sony Pictures is gonna get paid for STY one way or another....

Rain Man & RedBlackDelta,
Rain Man,
I think you're right. Sony made a bad decision backing this film. You can't make me believe that there wasn't a man or woman who belongs to one of our organizations, somewhere in a decision making position that should/could have given some insightful wisdom concerning the subject matter of this "boovie". Sony may re-group their dollars somehow, but initially, they may suffer during the opening week earnings. I'll be watching closely. Damn, do I sound like I want this flick to fail? I don't want the brothers and sisters connected to it to fail, but what they should have done was, gathered in a symposium or think tank setting and sought some wise counsel from representatives of every organization before deciding to make this movie. Or, maybe they didn't do that because they knew the reception they'd get.
RBDelta,
Old school is in the mindset Ma. The cool thing is, that you've probably forgotten more things about Delta Sigma Theta, than that young lady has yet to learn. Keep schooling her, she's thirsty.
