All Star
at Fif having a $200 million movie distribution deal...
Them nikkas is fudging numbers, as usual I done watched about 5 of his movies so far (Set Up, Twelve, Things Fall Apart, Freelancers, Streets of Blood, Blood Out). fukk outta here Fif. No studio is giving you 1/5 of a billion dollars to produce some bullshyt ass B-movies. I could see if the production quality on his films were on say the level of "Training Day, Belly, Waist Deep, hell...even Paid in Full". That would add up. But....all his shyt looks basic & low budget as fukk. As far as recouping that "$200 million investment", I cant even find dvd sales totals on any of those movies. You know those shyts are abysmal
Disclaimer: I have no intimate knowledge of the deal
Now with that said I'm sure it is more than just distribution, I sure the budge would be all inclusive
the making of the movie
Paying the cast actors/actress griffs, electricians, carpenters ect..
licensing for example paying local municipalities for use of infrastructure
shutting down of roads using police ect...
paying shop owners for use of their facilities
And we haven't gotten to manufacturing pressing blu ray and DVD disc
having them placed on store shelves in North America and I'm sure other regions i.e. Europe ect..
So let's see how many Movies that has been made
Freelancers- Deniro and Whitaker Cost Money what about 2 to 5 mil?
Set Up- Bruce Willis Cost Money what 2mil
Fire with Fire - Bruce Willis Rosario Dawson Josh Duhamel Vincent D'Onofrio with these 4, cost money 4 to 6mill?
Frozen Ground - Nicholas Cage John Cusak and Vanessa Hudgens cost money same range as above
GUN- no big name outside of him and he's probably working for free
Now Like I previously stated "The Tomb" with Arnold and Slyvester has a reported budget of 70mil
You may be right in your assessment of fudging #'s but we all know you Jews don't fukk around when it comes to their money. All signs point to a very tight budget, with no wiggle room. Looking for cities that offer tax incentives for shooting location is a must. It used to be Michigan but more recently Louisiana.
