Premiere Sells Out The World Premiere of Cleveland was screened August 2, 2005 at the Route 66 Movie Theatre in downtown Webb City, Missouri. The principal players and screenwriter Olive Sullivan arrived by limousine and entered the theatre over a red carpet. The event completely sold out and there were even people sitting on the floor in the aisle. The movie itself was very well received. Members of the audience generally said the film exceeded their expectations. Even cast and crew, who had not previously seen the finished product, expressed surprise at how well the project turned out. One Pittsburg attendee wrote: "I genuinely thought it was terrific. From the quality of the sound & picture, the acting and storyline, and the atmosphere in the theater, the whole thing was great." Another man said, "At the beginning, I could tell that I was watching a low-budget movie. After the first few minutes, it just didn't matter." Gross box office for the single-screen event was $2,650. Although this is pocket change in Hollywood, it compares favorably to the movie's $3,750 production budget. The filmmakers will now shift their focus to finishing the retail DVD and trying to place it in stores. They expect to release the DVD in the first week of September.
