“I’ll be talking to the Skywalker folks this week re: the 5.1 remix of A BETTER PLACE, and then will have a better idea of when all the work will be done for the DVD, but it’s going to be released sometime in the 1st quarter of 2000, deinfitely.

Just wanted to give you all a shout-out and thanks for the killer weekend. Take into consideration the amount of screens we’re on, and that gross is pretty sweet (the more expensive – negative and marketing costs – ‘Messenger’ was on far more screens and tracking way better than us on Thursday). We’re all happy over here (though I wouldn’t be surprised if the final number on Tuesday was slightly different than the reported number).

Aside from all this ‘Dogma’ nonesuch, Jen and I had Harley baptised yesterday. We held a party during the day and had the Christening at the 5:30 evening Mass at my parish. Not a furrowed brow or angry parishoner in the whole Catholic bunch (with the exception of the kid herself, who seemed mighty pissed to be suddenly dunked in water three times and held up – naked – in front of a bunch of strangers).

I believe the Larry King thing is a taping today. Although it’s a live show, I don’t think we’re doing it live. More on that when it gets cleared up.

Next weekend is going to be tough (‘Bond’ and ‘Sleepy Hollow’), but hopefully, we’ll hold our own. I’m just happy that the people who are seeing it seem to be liking it. I mean, jeez – it’s a movie about faith and religion. When have they ever been crowd-pleasers?

Thanks for all the comments and kind words (and sorry to all those who were let down or just flat-out hated the flick; maybe next time, maybe not). Share in the success yourselves, as you’re all an integral part of it.

So that’s what it feels like to open wide.
