It’s a significant win for Sony given its currently anemic slate, but to acquire the project, the studio had to contend with Tarantino’s lofty demands, including, sources say, a $95 million production budget, final cut and “extraordinary creative controls,” plus a whopping 25 percent of first-dollar gross. Another demand was that the rights to the movie revert to him after 10 to 20 years.

 

The film, which has a working title of #9 (it will be Tarantino’s ninth movie), will have to make $375 million worldwide to break even, according to one source. Tough negotiations occurred between the parties and a Sony insider says that Tarantino did not get the full 25 percent of first-dollar gross that he had requested.

That sounds like a horrible deal for Sony

[Fancyarcher]

A $375m breaking point? Woof! I'd say this film could do well given Tarantino's past films, but given the potential subject matter, I think it at least needs to have some names attached to it as well, if it wants to be a success.

lol damn are tom cruise, leo, pitt and jlaw all gonna be in this? that's like the only explanation.

Well thankfully Sony has good long term prospects and financial footing so they can afford this deal

I guess if Tarantino is getting 20% gross dollar, Dicaprio 10%, Pitt and others and other 10% (and thus the movie costing 180m if it does 400m at the box office) could raise the break even point really high but that does not make much sense.

 

If it need 375m to just do 0% ROI, how much will it take to make 15%, 475m, 540m ? That is much more than Django that already stared Dicaprio in a Tarantino movie that went extremely well.

 

Django Unchained break even point was estimated at 204.9m by Sony (94.9dbo, 110intl).

 

If Django Unchained would have made 370m the studios estimated they would have made 76m in profit (18.4% profit margin) and Tarantino/Dicaprio/Sam Jackson and others 72m in bonus.

 

If a similar movie today would need to do almost the double than in 2013 to break even

 

) Tarantino and Co are asking for much bigger first dollar gross than before

) The dvd market disparation is having catastrophic consequence on plummeting movie revenues.

... or

Feel like the reporting is misleading people between return break even point (were the use of capital is considered neutral, from where the movie need start to be a good investment for the company wanted annual ROI, say at 375m the ROI is 14% and that is there return break point that they often call and sometime describe how much the movie made or loss from that objective with annual break even point, were the money loss actual money and not just lost opportunity to make money with your capital.

 

I.e. the movie need to do 375m to start making sense finnacially speaking became the movie need 375m to break even.

[Fancyarcher]

Well at least Sony can afford the potential loss. I think the film could be successful, but The Hateful Eight was not as successful Basterds or Django Unchained, so I'm a bit cautious with predictions. If reviews are career best, then I could see it doing well, especially if they release it over Christmas. As with anything Tarantino does, I'm curious.

Jlaw is such a brave woman.

She met QT in LA without wearing any socks !

 Tarantino’s upcoming movie, according to a source who read the script, focuses on a male TV actor who’s had one hit series and his looking for a way to get into the film business. His sidekick—who’s also his stunt double—is looking for the same thing. The horrific murder of Sharon Tate and four of her friends by Charles Manson’s cult of followers serves as a backdrop to the main story.

ok? 

[WrathOfHan]

The Cruise/Pitt pairing makes much more sense than one of them with Leo.

[CoolioD1]

cast cruise as both tbh.

[CoolioD1]

though honestly it sounds like he wants to start production early next year and delays in mission impossible shooting sounds like it's gonna make it hard for the cruise missile to do this but we'll see.

[Fancyarcher]

I'm cool with those potential names. I'd really like to see Cruise in a Tarantino film. 

[Spidey Freak]

Manson kicked the bucket. 

[Cmasterclay]

There goes a chance for some classic Tarantino stunt casting!

[dudalb]

I think a lot more people would be sorry about a skunk being ran over in the middle of the road then about Manson kicking the bucket.
