'Ghostbusters' Heading for $70M-Plus Loss, Sequel

NasiLemakMan — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 13:23:33 +0800

QUOTE

Immediately upon the opening of Ghostbusters in mid-July, top Sony executives boldly declared a sequel to Paul Feig's all-female reboot of Ivan Reitman's 1984 classic was a given. "While nothing has been officially announced yet, there's no doubt in my mind it will happen," said Rory Bruer, president of worldwide distribution at Sony.

That was the studio's last public mention of a sequel. As of Aug. 7, Ghostbusters had earned just under $180 million at the global box office, including $117 million domestic. The film still hasn't opened in a few markets, including France, Japan and Mexico, but box-office experts say it will have trouble getting to $225 million despite a hefty net production budget of $144 million plus a big marketing spend. The studio has said break-even would be $300 million.

Sony hardly is alone in suffering from audience rejection of sequels this summer. But film chief Tom Rothman and his team, along with partner Village Roadshow, had high hopes for launching a live-action Ghostbusters "universe." Now they are preparing for steep losses (think $70 million-plus) and an uncertain future for the franchise.

Sony won't comment on whether it has banished a sequel to the netherworld, but perhaps tellingly, a rep says the studio actively is pursuing an animated Ghostbusters feature that could hit theaters in 2019 and an animated TV series, Ghostbusters: Ecto Force, which is eyeing an early 2018 bow. Both are being guided by Reitman, who firmly is back in charge of the Ghostbusters empire via Ghost Corps., a subsidiary with a mandate to expand the brand across platforms. (It was former Sony film chief Amy Pascal who first embraced Feig's vision for the live-action reboot, not Reitman or Rothman.)

"We're very proud of the bold movie Paul Feig made, which critics and audiences loved," a studio rep tells THR. "It has enlivened a 30-year-old brand and put it into the modern zeitgeist. As a result, we have many ideas in the works to further exploit the Ghostbusters universe."

Feig hasn't said whether he'll return. Stars Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones and Kate McKinnon are said to be signed for two potential sequels, and initially they said they were game. But now? "Ghostbusters is on ice until further notice," says box-office analyst Jeff Bock. "I just can't fathom the creative talents behind it — Feig, McCarthy, Wiig, etc. — slogging out another one when the reception to the first one was so mediocre."

Sony disputes the amount of the potential loss, insisting that revenue streams from merchandising and such attractions as a new Ghostbusters exhibit at Madame Tussauds and a theme park ride in Dubai will help defray any deficit. The studio also notes that the number of people renting the 1984 film has soared over the summer.

"This loss calculation is way off," says the Sony rep. "With multiple revenue streams, including consumer products, gaming, location-based entertainment, continued international rollout, and huge third-party promotional partnerships that mitigated costs, the bottom line, even before co-financing, is not remotely close to that number."

Another Shining Moment For Football

NasiLemakMan — Mon, 09 May 2016 09:30:49 +0800

QUOTE

Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) should make a lesson out of the Red Warriors as Kelantan have simply amassed too much debt for them to see the light at the end of the tunnel, writes Vijhay Vick…

Imagine this. The company you work for is out of funds, you have not been paid for several months and later released.

You take the case to the labour court, get a decision and walk home happy but all you do is wait, wait, and wait for what is duly yours.

The payment deadlines are later not met and the very same court you won your case with decides to grant more time to the company, warning of further consequences but never really acting on it.

In the meantime, the company continues operating as per norm and accumulates more debt.

Repeat that several times and you will have Kelantan, one-time the jewel of the East Coast but now a club struggling to cope with financial obligations despite the promise of riches from new sponsors at the start of the season.

If this continues, FAM may end up losing respect (if not already) and authority.

The Malaysia Super League side has amassed a debt of over RM1.4 million, and that is merely from compensation owed to former coach Steve Darby, ex-striker Gilmar Jose da Silva and five local players – Amiridzwan Taj Tajuddin, Amar Rohidan, Ahmad Fakri Saarani, Fitri Omar and Nazri Ahmad.

On Monday, the Professional Footballers Association of Malaysia (PFAM) revealed Kelantan had not met the second scheduled payment due to the five players on April 15 and demanded the Red Warriors be punished for it.

PFAM slam FAM over inactivity

Football Malaysia Limited Liability Partnership (FMLLP) chief executive officer Kevin Ramalingam also called FAM to deduct points or relegate the club as constant reoccurrence of such incidents may tarnish the reputation of the league.

Kelantan, however, feel FAM will understand their situation and grant more leeway, adding the national body derives power from its state affiliates.

“Whether it’s right to punish us or not is a question that must be seen together with our financial capabilities. We are facing a financial situation and have asked to extend the deadline,” Kelantan FA general-secretary Datuk Ismail Md Noor told FourFourTwo.

“We are working hard to get funds in and collect what is due from our sponsors.

“Everyone should give and take in this situation. We are not saying we won’t honour our payments … it’s just delayed. I believe FAM will understand our situation.

“Also, it is us, state FAs, who empower FAM and contribute to Malaysian football. It’s only Kevin who wants to punish us, instead of looking at ways we can help each other,” said Ismail.

While points deduction or relegation are ways FAM could look to penalise Kelantan, a transfer ban should also be considered until Kelantan’s books are no longer in the red.

Kelantan have assets to sell too. The likes of Khairul Fahmi Che Mat, Brendan Gan, Wan Zaharulnizam Zakaria and Wan Zack Haikal are sought after and could be put up on sale to balance the books.

Kelantan also missed an April 15 deadline to pay Gilmar approximately USD90,000 (RM358,695), which comprised signing on fees, agent’s fees, goal bonuses and three months of salary in 2015.

FourFourTwo understands Gilmar could take the matter to FIFA if the extended deadline on May 9 is also not met and FAM does not take action accordingly then after.

Meanwhile, Kelantan will soon know their fate of an appeal to a RM636,000 payout to former coach Steve Darby, who was sacked just four months into the job in April 2014.

If common sense prevails, the appeals committee will throw out the plea as Kelantan showed little respect to the status committee previously.

Darby initially only sought RM240,000 to terminate his contract but Kelantan refused to entertain the request.

In July 2015, the status committee had granted Kelantan a second chance to negotiate compensation with the Englishman after it ignored Darby’s previous attempts to settle the matter amicably.

Annoyed with Kelantan’s lack of response, the status committee awarded Darby full compensation for the 17 months remaining.

Now, what message would the appeals committee send if it entertains Kelantan’s desperate attempt to reduce their debt through their fault and only theirs alone?

If appeal is granted, would the status committee command respect in future cases? What precedent would FAM would be setting?

Surely, the legal proverb ‘he who comes to equity must come with clean hands’, has some standing the legal side of football.

FIFA showed FAM the way in dealing with such cases when it ordered the national body to deduct six points from Pahang’s 2015 MSL campaign and affected their AFC Cup qualification. Further sanctions have been mooted for ignoring a FIFA order to pay Mohamed Borji compensation for wrongful termination.

The decision makers in FAM also need to send such a message one and for all. Kelantan have violated the rights of players and coaches by not paying them, repeatedly.

Interestingly, despite all their financial woes, Kelantan president Tan Sri Annuar Musa hinted at a massive player reshuffle in the mid-season window, something that would only incur additional cost.

So do FAM throw the book at Kelantan and stand their ground – going a long way in standing up for the rights of the players and coaches – or will be they be branded a Mickey Mouse club for letting Kelantan off with a slap on the wrist?

A Lesson From The Panama Papers

NasiLemakMan — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 03:51:56 +0800

QUOTE

Ed Miliband has said the revelations in the leaked Panama Papers provide evidence that wealth does not trickle down in society – rather, it gets “stashed”.

Speaking two weeks after the huge cache of documents were revealed, detailing the tax affairs of thousands of wealthy individuals worldwide, the former Labour leader said the leak proved the common assumption about capitalism to be false.

In an interview with the Observer, he said he understood why David Cameron defended his father after the Panama revelations were leaked. “But for 30 years, since Reagan and Thatcher, the basic view has been, ‘Be nice to the super-rich and their wealth will trickle down.’ That is the big lesson of Panama for me. It doesn’t trickle down; it gets stashed.”

The former Labour leader is helping to promote a new low-budget documentary, the Divide, which explores the wealth gap through seven families striving for a better life in Britain and the United States.

Speaking about the film, Mr Miliband added: “It shows the fabric of people’s lives. It’s the stress for the middle-class bloke as well as the insecurity for people in precarious jobs. It’s something I wrestled with as leader…how to show the impact.

“And it’s not going away. Look at what Bernie Sanders is campaigning on as an issue. And – this will sound like an odd thing to say, because I think he’s a vile candidate – look at Donald Trump: he is piggy-backing on the issue of inequality. He is saying people’s living standards are stuck and this is what is happening in people’s lives.”
