@TheNewWorldPod your episode with Jonathan Wolf was epic I thought I knew everything about the Larry Harry and Larry era but holy shit It’s a crash course!
Artists Equity raised significant private equity from groups such as Redbird north of 100mm and has explicit language in their deals with Sony and Netflix and any potential 3rd party distributor/streamer that covers the profit participation model. Any language like this would handicap any independent film out of the gate without distribution. AE also makes assumptions for A list cast and wide release or streaming. Bottom line the film needs to have a "real" sale. i.e. Kiss Of The Spider Woman
@GamedaySam@joerussotweets I am a film finance expert and I teach film finance at a university their model is not equity in the pictures it’s profit participation if you really want to be specific
The issue THE LOST BOYS musical is facing at the Tony Awards is because of the considerable block of voters who represent touring and out of town regionals - they tend to vote for a show that can "tour" easier this is why LB announced a tour right away. I'm hopeful LB wins as we have a piece of the show but if SCHMIGADOON takes the top prize I'll be pleased for Gattelli who lost to Arden last year - and we have one of his next shows ;). Regarding why CHESS is closing (they'll announce the tour shortly) Leah decided not to return to the show this Fall since she failed to earn a nom. We had JoJo taking over for her until the Fall. Tony noms and awards are crucial to box office for Broadway for shows that may dip in ticket sales...
Ali Louis Bourzgui has just won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical for The Lost Boys.
