The thief's recording means that $11,685,000 in lost potential initial revenue, not including the sales of drinks and popcorn that the theatres depend on, and not including people who might pay to see it again, and not including sales of DVD or Blueray, and not including licensing to TV movie channels and TV stations in the future.

The guy knew exactly what he was doing. He stole, he sold, he profited.

I'm glad he's going to jail for 3 years.
