Information on the revenues generated by Smallville is available in a series of documents related to the Siegels' intellectual property case against Warner/DC. Available evidence shows that “gross receipts after accounts receivable” by June 30, 2006, were at least $353,696,456.00, but this amount excluded 50 percent of “merchandising revenue earned by the Series and likely only reports 20% on home video sales.” Indeed, another $64.4 million worth of television sales remained uncollected at the time these figures were calculated.
