Then there would not be any flops. For super long runs, it does have to cross over to tourist trade and probably not too american cliché (as in local references and jokes that just dont translate well) so foreigners will get it. Phantom is amazing how it still brings in $1M/wk almost all year.
so i dont think hansen will be around for more than a few years, which is a respectable run. As for hamilton, i dont understand the hype at all but clearly it will play a decade.
