I’m not sure if you’ve heard of it, but in 1977 George Lucas made this film called ‘Star Wars’. A the time, he was certain that Spielberg’s ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ would be a huge hit, and that no one would even remember his own movie. So, they made a bet on which would be more successful and wagered 2.5% of each other’s movies gross income. It turns out that that bet made Spielberg approximately $40 million and Lucas into a billionaire. Who knew that people would enjoy a little old movie called ‘Star Wars’? Not Century Fox, because they gave Lucas the merchandising rights and I’m sure those Chewbacca stuffed animals alone pay for his Marin County mansion.
