The gulf between elites and audiences is eroding profits throughout entertainment and news media—but signs of correction are emerging.

I'm sure they lost more than that. That's probably just the loss in Market Cap, and not including the losses they had on the actual productions themselves.

Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

CityJournal didn't know that the writer/actor strike was going to come in and practically kill off woke in Hollywood in under a year when they wrote that.

You know that I didn't see it.


Just REALLY hoping that somebody saved a copy of that Batgirl movie and has the balls to leak it to the public one day though.

It would appear that the cancellation of the Acolyte is having even bigger effects on Kennedy's Lucasfilm. I'm hearing now that the entire Disney Sequel Trilogy sequel trilogy has just been cancelled too.

The box office is down 17 percent from last year at this time, and studios spooked by a fickle audience (yes to “Twisters,” no to “Fall Guy”) are again questioning the reliability of the theatrical marketplace.


With reporting like this... With MATH like this, maybe you've just answered your own question, darling.

Audiences said no to Fall Guy and no to Twisters. Twisters has seen $348,552,210 worldwide on a budget of $155 Million (Which has been revised down considerably from the $200 Million budget initially stated). Even with that new production budget number it needs $387 Million to break even. That's a deficit of $39 Million it still needs to make before seeing a dime of profit, and it's already Day 40. We're not going to see another single day Monday-Thursday above half a Million again, and it's not going to gross much more than $3 Million this weekend.



Quote:

Nothing in Hollywood happens quickly, of course, and a movie can often take years to complete. Mattel now has 16 projects in development, including a reimagining of “Barney,” with Daniel Kaluuya, and “Polly Pocket,” which is set to star Lily Collins as the doll. Lena Dunham, who wrote the script for “Polly Pocket,” dropped out of the directing job, telling The New Yorker she didn’t think she could replicate Ms. Gerwig’s success. She described “Barbie” as “candy to so many different kinds of people and was perfectly and divinely Greta.”


Really?

Polly fuckin' Pocket?

I wish I could dig up the thread where I jokingly made the prediction that Hollywood was going to learn all the wrong lessons from that movie and they were going to get to work on a Polly Pocket movie. Jesus Christ.

But Lena Dunham? THAT is the woman you want writing your next Barbie for you?



Keep going broke. You haven't learned anything yet.

Accounting scams exposed

the Successful Flop, Hollywood Accounting

"fake movie" aka imaginary



Making a fake movie

the scam is over?

In 1982, Buchwald wrote a screen treatment titled "It's a Crude, Crude World" later renamed "King for a Day" that was pitched to Jeffrey Katzenberg of Paramount,

important mainly for the court's determination in the damages phase of the trial that Paramount used "unconscionable" means of determining how much to pay authors, which is widely called "Hollywood accounting." Paramount claimed, and provided accounting evidence to support the claim, that despite the movie's $288 million in revenues, it had earned no net profit, according to the definition of "net profit" in Buchwald's contract, and hence Buchwald was owed nothing.

Landis also provided the following response as to why Buchwald's lawsuit received more attention in the press than other similar lawsuits:

Well, because it was Art Buchwald! He is an old East Coast media darling. The other lawsuits came from less famous people. I remember on Animal House, there were four or five lawsuits. And Universal just settled them, as that was cheaper than fighting and even prevailing! Art Buchwald is not only East Coast, he's also a newspaperman. The press is going to take his side. The irony of that case is that the only people that his lawsuit benefited were Eddie Murphy and me because it forced Paramount to open their books.
