I've already seen it.


Mark Cuban has done well with taking risks, and we all know; without great risk, great reward will rarely follow. His new model of new-release movies sounds reminiscent of the phenomenon that happened with the US release of Battlestar Galactica. Long story short—it was first released in the UK and was leaked Online in the US several months before the scheduled domestic debut. It blazed across P2P servers like a California wildfire, which began speculation that there wouldn’t be a US debut. When it finally debuted in the US it received more viewership than any past episode and all the following episodes to date. So, perhaps Mark is on to something. We’ll see.
