Y Warner ahora se estará tragando sus lágrimas por tener tan poca confianza en el proyecto que compartió aproximadamente el 50% de la financiación con BRON Studios y Village Roadshow, entre un 20% y un 25% cada uno, que ahora estarán flipando:
Wall Street Journal:
Warner Bros. Faces Big Profit Share on Record-Setting ‘Joker’ Haul
"Before moving forward, Warner Bros. executives enlisted BRON Studios and Village Roadshow Pictures as financial partners to help share the film’s risk, with each shouldering between 20% and 25% of its roughly $60 million production budget, according to another of the people familiar with the matter. Marketing the film around the world cost more than $100 million."
Eso, sumado a acuerdos de participación en beneficios con Phillips y Phoenix:
"The initially iffy financial outlook for “Joker” helped director Todd Phillips and Mr. Phoenix, the movie’s star, secure generous profit participation deals, according to another person familiar with the deal. Such bonus structures are increasingly uncommon on titles that studios are confident will generate significant returns.".
- Ejecutivo de Warner:
Mirad chicos, no os vamos a pagar gran cosa porque esto puede ser un fiasco, si queréis ir a beneficios, JEJEJE.
- Phillips y Phoenix:
HA HA HA!!!
Me encanta :D
