"Love at First Sight" may not be "Star Wars" but it's a major milestone as the pay-TV revolution continues. The film's producers don't detail their financial fleal with the Pennsylvania cable operators, but consider a couple of facts. There were 200,000 people hooked up to the system the night it played on TV. Ponder that a moment. Some 200,000 homes, with who knows how many people watching in each one, saw that film on one night.

And that was in a state in which bnly a small minority of the urban residents are even wired for cable. It would have to play to capacity crowds every night for a year at the local cinema to get that kind of an audience. The truth is, it never would. If each of those homes kicked in an $8 monthly movie fee, that comes to $1.6 million. The movie producers don't say what their cut was, but the take is big enough for everybody to enjoy a nice slice of the pie.

That's just a tantalizing tidbit a tasty appetizer of the smorgasbord on the horizon. Suppose that film were seen on a nationwide cable hookup and piped into 30 million homes. Then what would Dan Aykroyd's cut of $240 million be? Enough to buy a chain of theaters. But who needs 'em?

He urged the movie theaters to start competing with quality or go out of business. He'd like to see them Install good sound systems that his company sells.

But he also told them to clean up their act and stop running scratchy, out-of-focus movies on TV-sized theater screens.

Big deal. Yeah, it was a big deal. This sneak preview was on television cable television.

How's that? You read it right "Love at First Sight," a new picture that the former Night Live actor made was released for the first time on pay-TV in Pennsylvania. Next week it will be released to movie theaters. So? So we may be seeing the beginning of the end of all those cinemas that sprang up like dandelions In the movie-theater revival in the '60s. Sneak previews aren't a big chunk of their box office, of course, but that's not the point. The point is that nobody ever heard of a sneak preview being played on TV.

Nobody ever heard of ANY new theater movie being released to television BEFORE it ran in movie houses. There are a few facts that don't meet the eye here, however. The picture apparently was tested in a few theaters last year and did poorly. The pay-TV debut was an effort to test the audience waters again. And there was another kind of precedent "The Great Santini," a first-rate picture, ran on cable TV in many areas including the Louisville area before it was delivered to theaters.
