redfirebird2008 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 But where are you getting that they get no money from the international distribution? Or are you familiar with the actual deal, in which case, I guess it is what it is. There is no reason to believe they are getting international revenue considering the terms of the deal. WB would not have given up all those rights unless they had a chance of making a profit on Interstellar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB would not have given up all those rights unless they had a chance of making a profit on Interstellar. But this is a co-production. There's tons of reason to believe Paramount shares in international, because that is the standard way co-productions work. In my scenario, Paramount shares in international, WB shares in domestic...one big pot. That is the normal way of co-productions. I just don't see any indication this is different than the industry standard. Heck, I can name a movie...made by Christopher Nolan, with exactly that type of deal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Without saying too much, I think it's better to accept what kowhite is saying. He knows a little more than the rest of us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Panda Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Interstellar is doing well in China and South Korea. I always knew the East was rising above America in taste, intelligence, and economic power. Edited November 15, 2014 by The Panda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't actually know the deal in this case. He could be right...Titanic actually did function in that capacity, to my understanding. Reason I'm curious.

WB is going to lose its ass if they are having to give international revenue to Paramount in addition to all the future film rights they gave up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB is going to lose its ass if they are having to give international revenue to Paramount in addition to all the future film rights they gave up. Well, the rights on South Park/Friday the 13th don't mean much if they weren't planning on doing anything with them. The superhero movie...well, yes, WB loses out on some money in some ways, but they also mitigate their risk. Keep in mind, if said film were to fail (let's say it pulls a Green Lantern)...then WB just saved a ton of money. And WB loves co-producing stuff. They do it a lot (though their divorce from Legendary certainly showed their appetite to do it less). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't they try to get in on Justice League 2 or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm sure they'd try. No way in hell WB would let them (ok, I guess anything is possible, but I can't imagine they'd let that happen). It's probably not quite as sexy as it sounds, I'm sure the contract lays out the guidelines for it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthie Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Some random American tweets from Americans: @billyeichner: I loved Dumb and Dumber To. Angelina Jolie has really come into her own as a film director. @Tatiannamz: Dumb and Dumber To was pretty great. so was Red Lobster. @tay_morgan9: *walks out of interstellar* "I should've been in dumb and dumber to" - @jkray26 That just wasn't necessary.
