>*Paramount Chief Executive David Ellison has said the combined company will produce 30 films a year — 15 each from Warner Bros. and Paramount — but exhibitors question how realistic that goal is, given the expected cost cuts from the deal and the $79 billion in debt with which the newly combined company would be saddled.*
I’m **NOT** saying they **SHOULD**, but – theoretically – couldn’t Para Bros (or Warnermount, whatever it’ll be called) release a dozen horror slashers and a dozen Oscar-bait dramas for about $5M-$15M apiece and then focus the real money/effort on six bigger projects spread throughout the year to keep the goalpost within range?
As in, George Miller oversees three entries in the Nightmare on Elm Street series and – as a reward – he finally gets Mad Max The Wastelands greenlit as one of those major six projects further down the line?
