re: #204 Cannadian Club Akbar

My former film skool teacher taught that there are no profits. So Peter was correct in doing so. That ploy works on stoners and drunks at Sundance, but not those in the know.

I know that the accountants in Hollywood are more creative than the executives. No film makes money. You want a fraction of the gross. But you have to be a big name or they’re not going to give it to you.
(Of course, the studio gets money, the distribution company makes money, the star’s drug dealers make money, etc, but somehow, no matter how much money the film makes, there is never an actual profit for the film. You’re like Milton waiting for a piece of the cake.)
