That's what happens when businesses follow political trends that change faster than a clean human's pantaloons.

$70m plus down the drain. What a world.

Tax loss write-off.

I always thought really bad movies went straight to DVD..

Like pretty much any movie this guy has made in the last 10 years..

In his younger days he had a few really good movies

He did make a gangster movie once, that I liked. Hitman/enforcer, betrayed by his buddies and boss, so he kills all of them.

Not to jump the shark here but I was out taking Bald Eagle shots this summer and this flying rat appeared out of nowhere. I got my pics and hid in my truck like a bitch until the threat was gone. I HATE bats. View attachment 625756

Tax loss write-off.

Maybe, I wouldn't doubt it. That would be ironic though. Hollywood complains that the oil companies get "special" treatment and subsidies because the oil companies, like ALL other companies get to write off their capital depreciation.

Hollywood may have an even more lucrative "subsidy" if you're right.

I did find this info...

Section 181 of the Internal Revenue Code, which allowed for the deduction of production costs, expired at the end of 2016. In its place, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Section 168 introduces "bonus depreciation." You can now deduct 100 percent of total qualified property that you use for your business. This includes property bought to complete a film or television show. You can claim that deduction upon release of the project as long as 75 percent of it is shot in the US. It’s unclear where a film has to be shown to qualify for this bonus; it could be just on social media. So most advise to grab the deduction while you can. The requirement of 75 percent being shot in the US also opens the door to attracting international partners.

Prior to Section 168, there used to be a $15 million limit on this deduction; now it is unlimited. That means a studio can deduct the cost of a Black Panther the moment it hits screens. That would seem to benefit studios but not a lot of independents. The bad part: this cap will be phased out in 2022.

Investors can still claim a loss if they invest in a film. So, if someone invests $100,000, they can claim a $100,000 loss at the end of that year if the film does not make money. The devil is in the details, though: You can take that loss as long as you meet certain income and passive income requirements.

I think I read that the batgirl movie was shot overseas...they may not get much of a break.

Write-offs, breaks, and subsidies are only bad when THE OTHER GUY does it. Yup.

Strap On a big red rocket? Sometimes I think TV people had a lot of fun seeing what they could get away with.
