Unless a film has a lot of staying power, it won't make a significant dime past its
expiration date.

It is just like books. Books make most of their profit during their commertial lives
within the first 6 months of publication of so. Then they make the rest by limping
along through the years with no glory left on their shoulders.

Now, a film that is a marketing freak of nature will make lots of indirect revenue,
via licenses and merchandising, but I don't think people counts those :-)
