Actually, no Malkovich.
John Scalzi’s column at filmcritic.com this week is about “studio math”. Specifically, why a movie that cost $250 million to make has to bring in at least $600 million at the box office in order to turn a profit. Much of this was stuff I already knew (the movie studios take most of the first week’s box office gross, declining in subsequent weeks, distribution cuts, gross profit cuts, cocaine cuts, etc.) But I note it here because it is a handy reference for folks not familiar with show business, especially the kids.
Meanwhile, back at the House, I’m sure you’ve all been asking yourself: What does John Carter (the member of Congress from Round Rock) think of “John Carter” (the motion picture)?
He kind of liked it. I guess that’s the one thing they’ve got.
