InterestingThose TV trailers probably hooked a few kids into wanting to see it. Your talking 1979!!Most people didn't have cable at that time.
Havent really thought about the flick much since it was out in theatres.. Premiered in London December 18, 1979. Opened in the United Staes December 21, 1979.
I think I saw it awhile after opening, for some reason. Must of been a busy holiday season, I guess. That was probably not the best releases date for that film. That film probably would of done better with a different release date.
Whoa, there were some heavy hitters released that month December 1979
Star Trek The Motion Picture had just been released on Dec 7, Electric Horseman, 1941, The Jerk, Being There,Kramer Vs. Kramer, Roller Boogie, Going in Style, All That Jazz, Scavenger Hunt
Those Box Office days were cut throat Brutal

I think Star Trek Featuring "a bald woman" burned that film. Star Trek wasn't very good, probably soured the movie going public on space movies for awhile. At least it did me.
Now I remember, Critics burned that film. It started gettindg trashed by critics.
I do remember hearing people say it was a bust? but was apparently made for 20 million and grossed 35.8 million?

Disney's Black Hole Opened on the 21st of Decemember 1979, The First day schools let out for Winter Recess. The kids were probably so jazzed about of being out of school they did'nt go to see it. Then The Holidays rolled in. Most Schools reopened Jan. 7, 1980.
