Скачать или смотреть Spielberg´s Fortune With Star Wars

How did Steven Spielberg get part of his Star Wars fortune?

Back in 1977, while Lucas was finishing Star Wars: A New Hope, he visited Spielberg on the set of Close Encounters of the Third Kind — Lucas was nervous, thinking his movie would flop. — Spielberg, on the other hand, was confident his film would be a hit.

So Lucas made a friendly deal: He offered Spielberg 2.5% of Star Wars’ profits if Spielberg gave him the same cut of Close Encounters.
Spielberg agreed — just for fun.Then the impossible happens.
Star Wars becomes a worldwide phenomenon, smashing records and captivating generations.
That little handshake? It suddenly turns into over $40 million for Spielberg.

A simple bet, a galaxy-changing movie, and two legends laughing all the way to the bank.
Luck? Genius? Or maybe a little bit of both.
