In response to "the reason Arclight told QT and Hateful Eight to take a hike -- (link)" by humbug

I heard that the Weinsteins are paying $10m for the roadshow?

Will they survive through 2016 at this rate?

Responses:

they basically went out and bought up like 90% of all the existing 70MM inventory in the entire world to convert the theaters for QT -- nm - humbug Dec 22, 15:12 5
- which is cool...but...not during this weekend. It was a bad idea to launch it at the same time as Star Wars -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 15:30 4
  - There's also pretty strong rumors that they're basically broke. -- nm - iSpam Dec 22, 15:39
  - it still had to have it's mini run for Academy consideration -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 22, 15:35
  - only from the standpoint that Disney has locked up theaters like the Dome from booking the roadshow - humbug Dec 22, 15:34 1
    - So what can they do with the old 70mm machines, will they fund a couple "films" a year, start retro-art houses -- nm - General Zeit Dec 22, 15:40
