Weekend #s STB 59.6M, Pets 29.3M, GB and LO 21.6M, IA5 21M

[DAJK]

Gonna guess 9.3M for lights Out for today

[WrathOfHan]

Paramount's gonna get sold off by the end of the decade, mark my words. They were stupid enough to give away the Marvel rights and lost their Dreamworks distribution deal not long after. The amount of money they've lost this year is hilarious.

People knock STID and Futurist defends it. Rise and repeat.

[WrathOfHan]

Tbh a Viacom buyout by Comcast wouldn't surprise me. All they have is Paramount and the Nickelodeon, MTV, and BET family of networks.

[The Futurist]

I don't want to poison any well but I just checked and Warner & Marvel studios panels are on the same day at Comic-Con, tomorrow.

That could help out Viacom though if they were with Comcast.

Paramount Pictures has been downsizing for years now, I am not even sure the big six exists anymore, it s like the big 4 and the last two that are kinda surviving.

If Viacom got bought out by them Paramount would die and Universal would handle it all.

So... like literally every single year at SDCC then? I'd think you don't even follow SDCC and just want to start something here

I do wonder if Viacom/Paramount fought for the Marvel deal. Like, did Disney just come out of nowhere and say "hey we'll buy you for this much"? I assume since, at the time, they were distributing all the films they must have caught wind Marvel was interested in such a thing.

I'm just happy that Beyond did well so we can get another Star Trek.

Also, I was right about Lights Out. Another hit for WB. They had a fantastic Summer, and if the rest of the year performs as I think it will they will hit 2B DOM this year.

Sony and Paramount

 

The future doesn't look good for either of them.

 

Sony is poor man's Paramount, who's a poor man's Fox, who's a poor man's Warner Bros, who's a poor man's Universal, who's a poor man's Disney.

Lol, did you just say that Uni is bigger than WB? The only year they were ahead of WB was last year and that was because they had all their big franchises crammed there. 2016 looks to be ending up with half of what they did last year (and a bit more than half of WB will do this year).

I think it's a given that the only studio that will be shut down by the end of the decade is The Weinstein Company.

[WrathOfHan]

Paramount's year so far:

 

13 Hours: -20M

Zoolander: -72M

WTF: -45M

Cloverfield: +78M

TMNT: -39M

 

Total: -98M

Does WB even have a billion dollar franchise, bro?

 

Cause Universal has at least 3.
