WEEKEND THREAD! FRI #s: Lego: 8M: 50SD: 6.6M: GW: 5.8: JW2: 4.1 (pg 8)

[Jonwo]

I'm sure Lionsgate are thrilled with La La Land's success, it's done 10 times its budget although Lionsgate will only see the US and UK revenue since they sold off the rest of the overseas rights but I'm sure their local distributors are also happy with its success.

Just because you don't see a reason doesn't mean there isn't one. 

 

The Weinstein's haven't been at their top of their game for a while.  Reason may exist but it's ill thought out reasoning.   It's also reasoning and scheduling that got the Founder financers suing Weinstein over distribution

Quote

 

The Weinstein Company has been sued by the co-fi company (and subsidiary) of FilmNation, which financed the Michael Keaton-starring The Founder. The lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court claims that the subsidiary, Speedee Distribution, had an agreement that no film would be released within a week before or after the biopic about Ray Kroc. Speedee — a single purpose entity established by FilmNation — put up most of the $25 million total budget for the film. It was that entity that sealed an agreement with The Weinstein Company in February 2015.

 

In the court filing (read it here), Speedee (FilmNation) said it is suing for $15M in damages plus costs and interest because TWC released The Founder wide on January 20 (pushed from August and November of 2015), and then released the Matthew McConaughey-starring biopic Gold on January 27 through its TWC-Dimension label. The Founder had a limited release on December 7, and Gold had limited release on December 30.

 

Neither limited release date was considered competitive, the suit states. However, the company is taking issue with the wide releases only seven days apart. “Despite the blackout period, TWC released Gold on Jan. 27th, in breach thereof.”

We have no idea what their internal reasoning is and it seems foolish to automatically assume they're morons.

T2: TRAINSPOTTING has rolled up $20.4M internationally so far, $19.2M from the UK alone.

No they didn't, wtf lmao. Stop. Just stop. You are embarrassing yourself man. They gave 2200 theaters to Gold instead of expanding Lion (that was the weekend after noms came out) or giving those same theaters a week before to Founder.

I don't think it is really a question of opinion. Objectively, they have done well with Lion as indicated by the strong box office gross. The movie has done well, how can you say they did a bad job?

It is the biggest of the franchise WW and it keeps going. I think Paramount might greenlight another one.

So much for The Founder costing $7m. I imagine Harvey will settle it out of court.

The movie was already profitable last week, even though it'll make less than the first, it's still a hit.
