Small Syndicators Take on Movie-Star Status on 2009-12-19
- “The movie business on TV stations is dead,” says one syndication executive. “The average movie in a barter syndication package makes $100,000 to $300,000. That doesn't go up and it doesn't go down. TV stations forsook the movie business a long time ago.”
- Many larger syndicators consider selling movie packages to TV stations in 210-plus markets too much work for too little return. “If I can make $200,000 in barter or $200,000 in cable, but I can do the cable deal far more quickly and simply, don't you think that's what I'm going to do?” says the executive.

- - John Bryan, MGM's executive VP of broadcast strategy. “Movies are very advertiser-friendly and tend to be well balanced between male and female.”
  - Movies tend to be sold to TV stations in all-barter deals for several years. The distributor makes a movie available for the station to run for one month, for example, and sells national ads to run during the movie while the station sells local ads. During that month, a station has flexibility on when it can air the film, so the national ads run in different times in markets all over the country.
  - On cable, the distributors typically get cash for movie rights—on average, 11% of domestic box office—a payment method they much prefer. Most studios cut in a broadcast window for TV stations during these basic cable deals. “Our goal is to figure out how many ways we can slice and dice a movie to make it as profitable as we can without damaging any downstream revenue opportunities,” says another syndication executive.
  - “I think it's a business that will always be here,” Bryan says. “People always like to curl up in front of a good movie. They're like television's comfort food.”

Harvey Weinstein: Thrilled, Energized, Angry | The Wrap on 2009-12-18
- When I see Warner Independent, or my alma mater Miramax, or Paramount Vantage getting diminished or eliminated, rather than saddening me, I’m just so pissed off and angry about it. And that has just re-energized me. I think the way you do something about it is that you fight for the movies you love, and you fight for the kind of movies you love. And then you go back to the arena, and you just say, “Man, I’m gonna get down in the trenches and kick my actors’ asses to do the work they have to do.” And my own butt included.
  
  I feel like, we started a revolution 25 years ago, and we’re about to begin another one. And I can’t end it any better than that.
