Phantasm (film)
To solicit outside opinions, Coscarelli paid an audience to watch an early cut of the film. Although Coscarelli called the result "a disaster", he was encouraged by the audience's reactions to the film. The financial success of "Halloween" released the prior year convinced vice-president of marketing at AVCO Embassy Pictures, Robert Rehme, to purchase "Phantasm" for distribution. The original theatrical release was March 28th, 1979. It grossed $11,988,469 at the box office. MGM released "Phantasm" on laserdisc in November 1995 and on DVD in August 1998. Anchor Bay Entertainment re-released it on DVD on April 10, 2007.
