China is serious business, Hollywood has been making a ton of money on the Chinese releases of there films.

Pdmt 3 is on the way, right after the sequels for Robocop 2014 and John Carter.

Anything generated is gross, everything after costs is net.
I made 10.01$ profit, it cost me 10$, so my net is a cent.


Anyway, we agree, no turd movie.

When it comes to movies, of what I've read it varies on how people estimate a movie makes even. it's either making 2 times, 2.5 times or 3 times budget back.Since companies usually don't give an exact estimate of the budget nor include marketing which can be as 1/2 of the estimated budget.

Then there's Hollywood Accounting... Fun times I guess.

Yes, investors don't invest to not make a profit, and with film being as risky as it is, they want a great return.

That said, the percentage of films that make back 2x or higher is slim, especially in the blockbuster market.

So that's not a headline Paramount's likely happy about:



From Business Insider:

Quote:
The heroes on the half-shell are taking a slice out of their parent company's business.

Viacom, the parent company of media properties such as Paramount Pictures and MTV, slashed its forecast for its coming quarter due to the disappointing release of the new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Additionally, the company said business from it's new streaming video on-demand service had been impacted by the public board battle between Chairman Sumner Redstone and CEO Phillip Dauman.

It now projects third quarter earnings per share to come in at $1.00 to $1.05 per share, analysts were projecting $1.38 per share for the quarter.

A release from Viacom said:

"Viacom said that the domestic performance of the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles release was disappointing, but the company has a strong slate in the months ahead and looks forward to improvement at Paramount. The company also previously expected to complete a significant SVOD agreement in the quarter, but said the recent and highly public governance controversy negatively impacted the timing and its ability to achieve an optimal outcome with partners."

Viacom said that it expects domestic ad sales declines for the third quarter to be approximately 4%. The company also said it has substantially completed a very successful annual advertising upfront sales process.

Viacom's stock was down roughly 1.2% in pre-market trading following the news as of 9:00 a.m. ET, at $44.50 a share.

Yea, with that headline, anyone thinking any production, or film company would ever dare touch a ninja turtles movie again is nuts. While you can praise the fact pd is done just know so is tmnt in general. But hey, thats what we wanted here in a ninja turtles forum right?

If PD was the only option, I'm fine with no future tmnt movie for a long time.

I just feel if a bad movie comes along and the general public shows enough intrest for it to at least make its money back, then maybe hollywood would have seen the potential the turtles have. This just confirms to the high ups they were right not wanting to touch the tmnt in the first place.
