Paying for a Hollywood blockbuster means more than covering the cost of actually producing the movie, though. Marketing is another big slice of the budget, for example, and since box office sales alone usually aren't enough to cover even the cost of advertising, it's another reason why additional funding vehicles are so important.
But apart from these obvious, and primarily post-production, methods for making sure blockbuster movies turn a profit, behind-the-scenes systems can help get much of the funding necessary for covering the bottom line in place ahead of time. We'll uncover some of those more mysterious methods on the next page.
Hollywood blockbusters might tend to take root in Los Angeles, but when it comes to raising the funds needed to make a movie, the shoots spread across the world. Laws and loopholes vary greatly from country to country, and successful executive producers are savvy when it comes to digging up the best deals. One good example can be found in Germany's tax code: Potential German investors looking to finagle their finances can invest in a future blockbuster and take the related tax deduction right away, thus postponing burdensome taxes for a later date.
They buy the movie's copyright and instantly lease it back to the Hollywood studio at the helm. The participating studio also pays the German investors a small advance on the movie, which qualifies as profit and satisfies the other side of the tax law. Then all sorts of swapping follows. For example, the German investors will typically sign contract agreements that limit their involvement to token and transitory ownership, for which they pony up around 10 percent at the end of the day.
Eventually the rights to the movie return to the studio in full, and the studio takes that profit right off its bottom line. Join the conversation There are 35 comments about this story. Load Comments Use your keyboard! If publishers want to make games more expensive.. I can understand why big games like this have collectors editions, but is anyone going to pay the extra money for a Need for Speed limited edition?
Every game seems to be coming out with one nowadays, and when they're giving away extra ingame content you can't get otherwise.. I'm getting a little side tracked now, but bottom line: Limited Edition games can come with all the free crap they want, but you shouldn't miss out on IN GAME content by not buying them. Well, considering the crap they expect me to enjoy, no. However, if the said game is revolutionary, addicting, has more than 20 hours of game play, and has great replay value that doesn't consist of just multiplayer than yeah.
But, to answer the question, "no". I am not going to pay that much for a game But for a single player console title, the answer is no. Battlefield Heroes and Quake Live are free, not to mention all the other free-to-play games on the internet. I have the time and would rather save the money. I really hate when Americans complain about games being expensive Stop your fucking whining. Would I pay that much for a domestic title here in the USA?
Well, I'd have to think about that since whether or not I would would probably be largely dependent on how much more it would cost to import. Then again whose to say the secondary market will even exist for whatever the current gen consoles are when this happens, and who knows what the economy and inflation will be like then.
