By admin on October 11, 2011 Following the example set last week by Cinemark, a number of independent theater chains and movie theaters have pledged not to screen Universal’s Tower Heist in protest over the studio’s plans to drastically shorten the release window. Lyndon Golin, chief executive of Regency Theaters (which is joined by the Emagine and Galaxy chains) explained: “We certainly support Cinemark… If their position is they won’t run it, then we won’t run it either.

By admin on October 11, 2011 When Disney pulled the plug on its expensive Lone Ranger project , which was to reunite Pirates of the Caribbean cohorts Johnny Depp , Jerry Bruckheimer, and Gore Verbinski, a few industry-watchers held out hope that the studio and the filmmakers would yet still reach an agreement over how many hundreds of millions of dollars the would-be franchise would cost.

From Deadline: On Lone Ranger , there has been a lot of behind-the-scenes drama as the three principal players made concessions in their deals, and worked on the script to salvage the spectacle that made the movie worth making in the first place while bringing the budget down to a more manageable figure in the $215 million range. So, not quite the affordable $200 million that D...
