Thanks, Rob. I remain hopeful that advertising will pick up this fall.

Profits More Important to Movie Studios than Box Office

Thanks for commenting, asdw.

I recently wrote about movie star salaries on my blog: www.northlakecapital.c...

I generally agree with you but the issue is how the stars are paid. Studios need to eliminate gross points off the top and get actors to take part of back end profits. That will help margins and better align interests. This trend appears underway. Studios also need to do a better of matching budgets to realistic box office and DVD expectations.
