geography of the southern USA, and innovative thinking has been killed by a

The $60m is purely international figures. I don't think the "sneak preview"
box office numbers get reported until the actual opening weekend when they
get added together and create a suspiciously large number to ensure they go
high in the top 10. So basically that's $60m before the US has taken a
dollar.

(In the UK it was nearly $10m alone, as far as I can see by virtue of being
the only kids' film around during half-term break - not something that
happens in the US, although you obviously get long-weekends around certain
public holidays. Distributors always have a kid-friendly film in those
periods here to help out parents who are looking for something - *anything*
- to do with their kids. Especially in the darker, colder days of
November... A colleague of mine did precisely this with her kids. She said,
"It's exactly what you think it will be.")

According to Matt Belamy at Puck, the film is now going to get shopped
around, so not necessarily locked into the vault. Aside from anything else,
I guess there are some relationships to maintain.

He also has a bit of a discussion about exactly how much you really save by
taking a tax write off on a film that has already cost millions. Basically,
the main gain is that you can account for it sooner, rather than waiting
months or years for the movie to play through the various windows and the
accounting to be mostly calculated. So take the loss now rather than a year
or two down the line. And WBD does have an enormous debt pile to pay down.

I've got to think that with the likely paucity of movies in theatres in
spring/summer next year, someone will bite on this. I mean "Trolls Band
Together" which hasn't even opened in the US yet, has earned nearly $60m.
(OK - I know film economics mean you basically need to double your
production budget to hit the black, and this movie is said to have cost
$70m).

 It’s like a Renaissance prince was a patron to a master artist. He asks
 the artist for a painting on a specific subject, and when the artist shows

There’s a biased reasoning that if the movie is getting shelved it must be
a terrible movie. It’s entirely possible that these movies are fine, even
better than some which have been released, but there’s some accounting or
tax benefit to shelving them. If it’s saving them money one way or another
it doesn’t have to make sense.

Re: [TV orNotTV] WB Says 'Beep Beep' to 'Coyote v. Acme' Movie

2023-11-10 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV 
 It certainly seems like accounting rules, the levels of debt that are involved 
in these write-offs, and/or something else has changed over the last 10 years 
to make eliminating completed works better for the bottom line than releasing 
them straight-to-DVD (which is still kind of a thing), or burning off the 
unaired episodes in the wee small hours.

Producers, directors, writers, and some technical people have to take years
out of their lives to make movies like this happen. To go through all that
and then find out nobody will get a chance to watch them must be
heartbreaking.

It’s like a Renaissance prince was a patron to a master artist. He asks the
artist for a painting on a specific subject, and when the artist shows him
the final work he burns it.
