Then they can write off $40 million as a loss and get cheaper taxes. Thats not how it works. Once a film is released it can generate income for any extended amount of time. They cant cap it at 10 million so they csnt make that determination. This is probably why the write off dictates that it is destroyed because the write off only works if they make zero money from it. --- This post didn't exist to you until you read it.

Prestoff 02/09/24 3:46:57 PM #99:	The biggest reason is that it's uncertain if the movie will even generate any money. Releasing a high budget movie is always a massive risk and the uncertainty is scarier than just getting a short term benefit of a tax write off. I understand why Zaslav is doing what he is doing, but there's a reason financial advisors shouldn't be CEO's, because we are terrible when it comes to PR. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:978750873] in Coyote vs ...
