If that were the only cost then sure. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 19:21 2
- If you can’t get more for ads than your spend for a completed 4th season…there never should have been a 4th season. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 19:41 1
  - Sure, but if you can make more airing something else in its place you should do that. - mafic Jan 13, 21:17
because agents dropped the ball on putting more costly penalty clauses in their clients' deals to cover this eventuality - hollywood big shot Jan 13, 18:35 2

  - i don't know if they're trying to actually send a message to the guilds (nobody hears that they're stockpiling for a potential strike either) - hollywood big shot Jan 13, 18:41

- Yes they get a write off equal to 21% of the actual cash they put out. - spamlet Jan 13, 18:12 6
  - And they don’t pay residuals. -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 18:24
  - right? -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 18:19 4
    - if you can't make 21% of your production cost from ads from original airing and then selling the rights just fucking give up -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 18:20 3
      - TNT is Warners. there aren't enough ads in the world to make Discovery whole for the $3b they went in hock to buy it -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 13, 18:42 2
        
        I'm buying Apple for 84 trillion dollars -- oh oh, so Apple suddenly doesn't make enough money to cover that now? -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 18:49 1
        
        this seems to be the difference between Disney buying FOX and Warners buying HBO. Disney wanted the content for D+, Warner wants the tax writeoff -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 18:53
I wonder what the post production costs on these are. - spamlet Jan 13, 18:02
