Hollywood soaks the world's most valuable company until they cry mercy; Penske's Globe-sized conflict of interest; and another coulda-been-worse Zaslav headline
Hey maybe Apple should contact Cord Jefferson. He had some ideas, know what I’m saying 🤣🤑🎥 but seriously if the films themselves are worthy stories do they have to cost $150-250 million? An epic like Spike Lee’s Malcom X made for $35 million in 1992 dollars today that’s 70 million. It made 73 million dollars in box office that’s $146 million in today’s money. But you need a craftsperson doing this. Nothing about that film looks cheap. It still holds up. These new tech films coming in need to realize that. Sure Lebron can take a team full almost all stars and lead them to the mountaintop. That ain’t every other player. And same for a Steph Curry. He can shoot 35 footers with ease. Not everyone else. What’s the secret? Don’t know but why are you going for such extremes. There are plenty of players who if you put enough of them together with the right coaches and add money when it makes a difference you can win. Celtics and Nuggets don’t have a Lebron or Steph. But they have recently won championships with fairly regular all stars we are all use to seeing. First ballot automatic hall of famers? No. But they win. And that’s all that matters.
