::*{{ping|Mindmatrix}} Thanks for the comments. I've added an archived URL for the dead link. You seem to misunderstand the box office gross though; no information seems to be available on the film's gross in the U.S., so the article states "grossing a total of $137,126 ''outside of the U.S.''". The total figure is a sum of the total gross in each country listed [http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/intl/?page=&id=_fELECTRICKCHILDRE01 here] (the opening weekend column is irrelevant). As far as the hook goes, I included the film's budget to make it more interesting – as I understand it, many film students write and direct films while they are studying but almost never with such a large budget. Nevertheless, I've added your suggestion above as ALT1. [[User:97198|97198]] ([[User talk:97198|talk]]) 12:46, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
