And comes after the project was ordered back into production for filming of a new ending "There was nothing wrong with Toms music, says Alvin Bart, the agent who repesents both composers. Its a matter of a production team changing its mind about what they wanted. He gave them exactly what they ordered. They were happy with it when it was delivered, seemed happy when it was recorded But were unhappy enough with Neighbors response to apparently be ready to try most anything now.

The movie finally landed at Avco Embassy Pictures, an independent mini-majproduction and distribution company desperately in need of a fall release. It was a happy acquisition Time Bandits had the biggest opening weekend ui Avco history, bringing in $6,507,356 in 821 theaters in its first three days The movie had grossed $12,639,284 in its first 10 days Columbia Pictures Only When I Laugh, which has been passing as the big fall hit, has taken in $21,961,566 in 7Vi weeks (and eight weekends) Time Bandits has brought a measure of cheer to Avco, which hasn't seen one of its movies take off so well since Carnal Knowledge.

Its the kind of picture we haven't had in a very long time. Indeed, long enough to prompt Avco Embassys, parent company. Avco Corp., to put its film subsidiary on the market. A most recent offer (said to be in the $25 million to $27 million range), confirmed just last week, was made by T.A.T.

On the one hand, it was it came with Monty Python credentials written by Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, two of the several credited writers of the Pythons 1979 hit. Time "Life of Brian " Gilliam also directed Bandits," and John Cleese, a Python regular, was one of the featured players. But on the other hand, "Time Bandits didnt look at all like a comedy.
