deals, so their dvd revenue was x and sony's offered to pay y. y was greater than x.

 

Think wasnt exactly in the business of producing movies to be sold to other distributors. If that happens, great, but no one is going to buy an NC-17 film and expect it to break out.

 

Chloe is an entirely different situation than Where the Truth Lies.

Heard [GETL] is about to get sold. Also, Dmac, Sissy Spacek does not play Robert Duvall's wife in the movie (per the hsx synopsis) {nm} Moviesnob Sep 21, 10:05

Thank you. Do you heard any news about CHLOE? Peterlee Sep 21, 10:28

It'll get sold at some point. It has a good cast and Egoyan movies always find a home, but Studio Canal has to lower their expectations {nm} Moviesnob Sep 21, 10:31

"Where the Truth Lies" was cost $24 million to make; it is why Robert Lantos/Thinkfilm tried to find bigger distributor. Peterlee Sep 21, 11:27

and its not nc-17 {nm} Moviesnob Sep 21, 11:38

Hey, this is the only movie I was able to get into see at TIFF '05 and that's thanks to the fine folks at THINKFilm (at the time) {nm} secretstalker Sep 21, 11:02

Looks like THINKfilm was in better state when Robert Lantos owned it. {nm} Peterlee Sep 21, 11:10

think doesn't really exist anymore. {nm} Moviesnob Sep 21, 11:17
