"I counted the receipts that night", Spielberg has recalled, "And we charged a dollar a ticket. Five hundred people came to the movie and I think somebody probably paid two dollars, because we made one dollar profit that night, and that was it."
Spielberg recounted, "That night, I counted the receipts. We sold tickets for a dollar each, and 500 people attended the film.  I believe someone may have paid $2, as we only made a profit of one dollar that night."
