ABC news and many other sources are saying a print has been stolen from a theater in Wisconsin. Here's the report:
MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP) _ A $60,000 copy of ""Star Wars: Episode I _ The Phantom Menace'' was stolen right off the projector at a theater over the weekend.
The film, weighing more than 40 pounds, was taken from the first-floor projection room of the State Theater between showings Friday and Saturday, theater owner Nick LeGros said.
""In the 23 years I've been doing this, this is the first time I've had a film stolen,'' LeGros said.
Someone could make money by converting the movie to videocassette and selling it on the black market, police Lt. Doug Briggs said.
The size and weight of the film have police thinking more than one person stole the movie. There were no signs of forced entry, police said.
