- Friday, May 3, 10:33 AM The slow start to the movie season could get a jumpstart from the 22 big-budget films slated for the summer months - compared to the 15 +$100M budget films last summer. Though the industry could make up some ground with theater revenue down 12% Y/Y so far, the crowded schedule will also pressure studios to increase their marketing spending and could leave a few of them with +$150M losses on flops to pass on to their parent companies (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX, DWA) . Comment! [Consumer]
- Wednesday, May 1, 1:37 PM A standoff between movie studios (SNE, VIAB, CMCSA, LGF, TWX) and China's government over the percentage of the box office take studios can keep could have big implications on revenue totals down the road. Moving to a 25% cut from 13%-17% seemed like a big win, until China starting toying around with some extra taxes to levy on the group. The development is also something to watch for IMAX if it sees its pipeline cut down a bit. The tricky part: Playing hardball with China means studios risk getting banned from the country entirely to see that cut go all the way to 0%. 1 Comment [Consumer]
- Monday, April 29, 12:39 PM Shares of Lion's Gate (LGF +2.7%) continue their upward trek with more enthusiasm over the studio's pipeline helping to tip sentiment. Though analysts are quick to note the company has more than the Twilight and Hunger Games franchises to bank on, the 24.255M views on YouTube for the sneak peek at the new The Hunger Games: Catching Fire movie (still seven months from debuting) is a good indication what all the buzz is about. (trailer) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, April 17, 11:12 AM Movie studios (DIS, TWX, CMCSA, LGF, VIA, VIAB, SNE) might be asleep at the switch, according data compiled from an industry trade group. While movies rated PG-13 almost doubled the return of R-rated movies in 2012, studios released twice as many of the R-rated variety. If box office numbers for Q1 are any indicator, execs haven't learned the lesson yet. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Monday, April 15, 9:18 AM Lions Gate (LGF) announces a new partnership with Microsoft which will include the launch of a Hunger Games theme website. The company is aiming to draw in fans of the series with a "social aggregator" that will extend the life of the upcoming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, April 11, 8:14 AM Chinese regulators pull Quentin Tarantino movie Django Unchained from theaters in the country on its opening day due to "technical" problems. The late action shows the tightrope movie studios face (TWX, LGF, VIA, SNE) in producing movies to clear Chinese censors in the face of growing box office opportunities in the nation. (Previous: Hollywood scripts aim to please Chinese audiences) 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 9, 8:24 AM Argus initiates coverage on Lions Gate (LGF) with a Buy rating and $31 price target. The investment firm sees strong growth potential for the entertainment concern to justify its lofty valuation. LGF +0.5% premarket to $23.55. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, April 2, 8:48 AM The Epix [(VIA),(VIAB),(LGF), MGM] movie service goes live on the PlayStation 3 this week and will be available on the PlayStation Vita in the coming weeks. The timing looks good for the venture with The Avengers slated to be available very soon. Comment! [Consumer]
- Tuesday, March 26, 4:25 PM CBS and Lionsgate (LGF) confirm the sale of a 50% stake in TV Guide Network (TVGN) and TVGuide.com from JPMorgan's P-E arm to CBS. CBS and Lionsgate (still a 50% owner) boast TV Guide will have access to CBS' "programming, production and marketing assets," and Lionsgate's "resources in motion pictures, television and digitally delivered content." The price is undisclosed; sources recently told The Hollywood Reporter it's around $100M. LGF +4.9% AH. (PR) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, M&A]
- Monday, March 25, 3:21 PM Nomura forecasts a 3% drop in the U.S. box office this year after 2012 set a record. The outlook is almost a breath of fresh air for movie studios (LGF, DIS, TWX, VIAB) with 2013 off to a weak start, especially with global growth opportunuties looking ready to make up for sluggish U.S. movie demand. Looking at the theater chain stocks, Nomura has Cinemark (CNK) and Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) lined up as its top picks. Comment! [Consumer]
- Monday, March 25, 10:12 AM Lions Gate (LGF +0.8%) is expected to close a deal to sell half of TVGN (formerly TV Guide Network) to CBS (CBS +0.1%). The deal price is reported to be close to $100M. Comment! [Consumer]
- Friday, March 22, 4:38 PM CBS reportedly is poised to purchase a 50% stake in TV Guide from J.P. Morgan's P-E arm, which would make CBS an equal partner with co-owner LionsGate (LGF). The network would pay about half the $241M Morgan originally shelled out for its purchase of 49% of TV Guide in 2009. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 21, 12:56 PM The combined box office from BRIC nations could double to $12.1B by the end of 2017, according to new industry research. Growth in China, Russia, Brazil, and India is being led by higher ticket prices and a rapid pace of screen construction. Though it's good news for Hollywood studios (TWX, DIS, LGF, VIAB, CMCSA, SNE) looking for global growth opportunities, IMAX (IMAX -0.9%) is the company that could see the biggest benefit if the rosy forecast pans out. Comment! [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 14, 2:45 PM Crowdsourcing goes Hollywood: Writer-director Rob Thomas successfully raises $2.7M and counting in a Kickstarter campaign that just launched yesterday after his movie was stalled by execs at Warner Bros TWX. Due to the successful grassroots-level raise of funds, the movie Veronica Mars will move to pre-production and be shot over the summer - by insider accounts a first for the industry. The read-through could be interesting for studios (LGF, DIS, VIA, CMCSA, SNE) as they test new ways to gauge market reaction before making large investments into projects. 2 Comments [Consumer]
- Thursday, March 7, 8:13 AM A couple of Wellesley professors say their research shows the closing of major online piracy websites added 6% to 10% to online revenue for movie studios - a mark that is higher than what analysts factored in for the effect. Though it's major studios such as Sony (SNE), Disney (DIS), Viacom (VIAB), and Lions Gate (LGF) which have done most of the heavy lifting in the anti-piracy fight - the trend toward legitimate movie viewing isn't half-bad for Coinstar (CSTR) or Netflix (NFLX) either. 6 Comments [Consumer]
- Wednesday, February 20, 11:28 AM Cutting-edge Oscilloscope says it will be the first film distribution company to release a feature movie through mobile service Vine in a process which will chop its release up into a series of short looping videos. Though certainly not yet a medium which threatens the Hollywood studio model (TWX, DIS, LGF, VIAB, CMCSA, SNE), the development brings up some interesting revenue and promotional opportunities if the big players can harness the Internet interaction of their movies outside of the obligatory YouTube channel.

Would you start a position in $LGF at these prices? I think it still has about 30% upside in it this year (a buyout will be even higher). - View all 15 replies

Stephen J Melnykevich: I think Lowes and HD will do well with a housing recovery and with sandy. I like LGF and AAPL at these levels as well.
