I know some where given out at that Paramount Pictures function as a promotion
anyone know how many?

The ones I have seen where obtained from the production "wrap" itself, from people who worked on the movie.

Happy to hear you made a few bucks. I am sure the new owner is very happy and the mug is in a good home.
