Recent sales trends likely caused the end.

We believe Tom's departure is an indication of deteriorating two-year sales trends and decreasing support within the franchisee community.

The accelerated sales pace of recent years has all but ended, and we're returning to a more normal market.

We actually are pegging LCD-TV sales at about 27 percent of the global market in 2007.

The money's just coming in a different part of the release model since most of it's from DVD sales. This is still going to be one of the three biggest years in box office receipts, and by the way, they're bringing in $20 billion more in DVD revenue. So the studios are still getting their money. It's the exhibitors who have a concern.

Our recent sales results have been disappointing.
