From what transpired Mr. Ellison do not want too, they are trying to refinance the company big debt (say some 60 cent on the dollar) with the banks, throwing around the menace of a bankruptcy and loosing business with one of the biggest fortune in history has the stick.

That is really hard to calculate, but it is some form of quality of life change * number of people affected. Those jobs created and supported in that level are possible only if people pay for tickets, you are just transferring moviegoers money into a different pocket at a macro level I am not sure jobs is an important metric, the output of the said jobs is what matter. Imagine you only give the money to the people with those jobs instead of making them make an unseen movie, much more efficient, they have much more money in their pocket and nothing is loss. I think sometime people get caught in the illusion of money, a simple trade tool, what matter is the good&service created and added to society, not if people are paid and how much, it is not a bad illusion because it tend to have a good correlation between the 2, but just as long at it is the case, if a very rich person would start paying everyone a fortune to do movies at the end of the year we all die and we would be much much poorer (the only good & service that would exist would be movies we cannot watch). It is not the 2 option studios have, it is certainly options rich people have and yes they will often spend it on humanitarian aid.

For the single piece of art the money was not really "spent" it only changed hands, it is yet to be known what incentive will be created with that money eventually. There is nothing loss if a rich guy account on a computer get a -100m and a +100m on a different rich guy appear, not the same is said for a movie production. At the end the only thing that was created is the movie like you said thousand of people spent time on it instead of something else,, that the very issue with mis-allocating fund and the impact it has on society level of wealth, is getting a lot of people diverted doing that jobs instead of something useful. Using that much society resource should come with a responsibility, that the output is a bit worth it. Overall a movie isn't a bad incentive to create for a billionaire at all imo, I am really not of the type spending hundreds of millions on a movie marketing instead of changing the life of 1 million family in Africa with that money type, entertainment is important and what the point of being rich if not to watch movies from time to time and stuff like that. That said, movies need to touch enough people to be worth it (and obviously touching a lot 1 million people can be more worth it than just a meh ok time for 50 millions people).

They also made tv series, published video game and started a movie distribution branch. A bit like when Weinstein tried to expand out of the movie business, expending fast out of your specialized lane (they were good at movie co-producing) very often fail.

A lot of it yes, with just some days in New York. Filming Principal photography on the film began on March 18, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana.[17][18] On March 25, filming was taking place on General De Gaulle Boulevard in the Algiers section of New Orleans.[19] On May 8, Gillan confirmed she was shooting her scenes.[16] On May 20, 2015, filming took place on a short stretch of Mercer Street, between Prince Street and Spring Street, in Manhattan, New York City.[20] On May 22, the production crew recreated the offices of failed investment firm Lehman Brothers in the lobby of the New York State Department of Financial Services in Manhattan.[21] An assistant counsel for the Department of Financial Services played one of the extras in the scene

Not sure if you are serious with the question, but anyone that like that kind of movies (Her, BookSmart, Phantom Thread, The Master etc...) ?

In a limited resource and man hours worked world, it is normal to care with how the powerful entity that have the ability to influence how they are used (states, companies, rich individual), it is one thing to spend 200 M buying a painting (almost no work/resource was spent) than making movie, throwing cars in space or constructing and moving around giant yacht/private plane, this is because of the perceived opportunity cost of a different spending that would created more happiness in the world.

Not really, both movie simply had very different reporting surrounding them. Fastlane website from Louisiana now ask for an account with a password, so I cannot go check back, but The Big Short budget was 50M from memory.

Looking at the trailers considering the deplorable are the heroes of the story and the elitists cartoon villain, it could have passed.

Shay has spoken.

I would imagine obligation if any would all be with TSG, Genre Film (Kinberg production company), Kinberg has a producer, banks/financier not with actors. I would also imagine all entities that would be really happy to walk out with some cent on the dollar deal, not expecting to ever make their invested money back.

Where they not know to be one of the least reliable on this not so long ago, with MadMax, It & Wonder Woman for example getting extremely late embargo lift. Or it is just one way around, a late embargo from WB does not mean the movie will likely get bad reviews but an early one is usually a very good sign ?

That: And no matter what the grand scheme was for Fox's IP, had movies like Bad Times at the El Royale or Stuber still brought it decent theatrical audiences, Disney would have continued to make them if only to further their market share. But we didn't show up, so now here we are. A bit of a speculation, like the last result of a giant earning jump but low earning per share show, market share is nice but profit/ROI can be seen has more important and is possible that a successful slate of Bad Times at the El Royale / Stuber is not successful enough for Disney ROI targets.

Seem to have been quite the recent jump (since 2016): Total Homicides[25] Gun Deaths Total Shootings Occurrences Victims 2010[31] 65 32 260 330 2011[32] 51 27–28A 227 281 2012[32] 57 33 213 289 2013[32] 57 22 202 255 2014[32] 58 27 177[33] 242 2015[34]  59 27 288[33] 429 2016[35] 75[36][37] 41 407[33] 581 2017[38] 65/66 [39][40]A 39 395[33] 594 2018[41] 96C[42] 51 424 604 fs

The 170m is the complete Fox slate and marketing spending on yet to released title and development on yet to be released movie: First the 21CF film studio had an operating loss in the third quarter of about $170 million, which was driven by the underperformance of theatrical titles including Dark Phoenix marketing for future releases and development expenses, partially offset by TV SVOD distribution. I do not remember any studio ever giving any detail on how much a particularly movie made or loss, it tend to be just overall like above.

? That is extremelly misleading, we are they calling it ESPN+ if you get ESPN and why are people saying it is the small $5 verison (like the regular small ESPN+ addon) My comments make no sense, I thought it mean that the Hulu provided here would give you ESPN....... (there is so much different platform with suboptions now !)

Espn+ stay the current small addon that right ? Sling TV and Youtube offer full ESPN in streaming.

Could be the best script ever, how much stake and tension are achieved without anyone being a villain/forced motivation at any point, is quite something. The production design and overall direction is quite good as well, a classic imo.

Pretty sure he was already quite filthy rich with millions in properties: https://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/quenten-tarantinos-house/view/google/ What are you going about ? Who are you talking about ? What are you responding too (is anyone insinuating Tarantino didn't dealt for himself a giant compensation for this ?)

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?page=weekend&id=greatestshowman.htm #neverForget, Showman: 19.79x multiplier Titanic: 20.97x multiplier

The rumors goes from, Tarantino alone getting 25% first dollar gross, to a more reasonable everyone together in a pool getting about 30% first dollar gross, to no first dollar at all according to Sony studio head Rothman himself, it has yet to open to most markets, so who knows But saying like this, if it has the regular legs it seem to be getting and end up around 125m domestic, do a rather mediocre for Tarantino or DiCaprio oversea ratio of say 40/60 (really Americana project, exchange rate rough, no China release, etc...), end up doing 312.5M and Sony loose money it was quite the dangerous and arguably bad deal imo (how much did they saw for this, it went has well has it could), but that what some trade do seem to imply has a possibility.

That would be gross, the movie does not make $400M, the movie is making like you said 130*0,55+270*0,40 Adjusted gross receipt is a bit different than that, it is not the actual gross anymore but some OTT removed and often just a certain % of home ent sales. OFF-THE-TOPS (OTTs) - Conversion costs, checking costs, collection costs, residuals, trade dues, licenses, and taxes. These are sometimes referred to as "1-7's," based on the numbering of deductions in studio gross profit exhibits. ADJUSTED GROSS RECEIPTS (AGR) - GROSS RECEIPTS less OTT's. Gross participants, with very rare exceptions, receive a percentage of adjusted gross receipts. Sometimes referred to as Gross Proceeds (“GP”). In a contract Adjusted gross receipt can look like that 100% Gross receipt (that would be your 180m dollar figure and all the VOD, TV, DVD, revenues), minus Trade due (like what they paid to the MPAA) Theater checking cost Collecting cost Residuals Remittance charges Taxes Duties, custom import charge Often the Adjusted gross will diminish the home video gross receipts to say 35% (or historically 20%), since VHS are long gone people probably get 100% or near 100% too. That the leaked deal between Sony and Toho co. getting gross point on Godzilla: https://wikileaks.org/sony/docs/03_03/Legal_Dept/Corporate Legal/BrownHanna share/Agreements/Toho Co., Ltd/TriStar Pictures, Inc.-Toho Co.,_Option-Purchase Agreement for Godzilla.pdf They get a kick-in once initial actual break even is achieved (and how break even point will be calculated), that explain all in detail how the calculation will be made.

Must be close to some kind of record ?

Probably not a bad one, but with that difference: Bourne: According to exit data, audiences were 55 per cent male, and 60 per cent over the age of 35. Hobbs & Shaw: Opening weekend crowds skewed expectedly male, with boys and men accounting for nearly 60% of tickets sold. “Hobbs & Shaw” enticed moviegoers young and old, as 50% of audiences were over the age of 25 Hobbs & Shaw has probably a bigger family and younger audience in there, not sure what it mean legs wise
