Verdict is in: Vampires have bite!
The Oakcrest Film Institute Community predicts Twilight, the emo vampire love story, will be the most profitable film in November.
Don't Hate the Playa, Hate "The Game"
"The Game" changes...
1. This week you will choose your December movies from the NYT holiday film preview guide (just like in September)
2. In the interest of pumping some financial life into the teams, you WILL NOT be charged for the production cost of your film. Instead, you will DRAFT your film like the first month.....for free.
3. The difference is that you are getting the rights to the film, not the film itself. In other words, you will choose a movie, regardless of production cost. Then, before the film's release, you will have one of the following options:
A. sell the rights to the movie to whomever you chose for the production cost
B. hold an auction for the movie so it goes to the highest bidder...you nor the purchaser will be charged production costs, just the auction costs
C. keep the movie, pay its production costs and earn its earnings
3A. Keep in mind, you will be forced to auction off your films if your total losses equal or surpass $50m per person on team.
