Wow. Only 5%? What a rip. I'm sure out of 3 billion dollars that's a lot, but you'd expect a bit more for the IP owners.

Even the $1 million they invest in the story ideas gets paid back to them if the movie is made. The movie studio takes the entire financial risk in making the movie, 5% is obviously a fair deal for the level of investment each party has if Hasbro has agreed to such a deal. The bigger issue fans should be picking up on is the fact that Hasbro, the brand owner and manager, develops that horrid story ideas. Quote:
I'm curious how you would justify that, and justify how that free $150 million and advertising that drives toy sales to annual sales of over $300 million plus (at least for Transformers) equates to not caring about money. |

This is kinda how I figured it worked. The studios are more less paying Hasbro to use their property. Hasbro probably makes 5% profit everytime the dvds/blu-rays are sold/rented, profits from Netflix, and tv airings. They would have to especially since they own the copyright. If you think about it Hasbro really has nothing to lose. It's all free advertisement.
Financially though, GI Joe may not be doing TF numbers but it still is making profit.

I am very excited for the new "Chutes and Ladders" movie. I think it will be shown with "Hi Ho Cherry Oh".

I am trying to remember which great characters and compelling story were in Oujia? Probably the same that were in Battleship. How did Oujia edge out Mousetrap?
