Product Description
A fully revised edition of the popular guide to Hollywood finances, updated to reflect even newer films and trends
In a Freakonomics-meets-Hollywood saga, veteran investigative reporter Edward Jay Epstein goes undercover to explore Hollywood’s “invisible money machine,” probing the dazzlingly complicated finances behind the hits and flops, while he answers a surprisingly difficult question: How do the studiosmake their money?
In this, a revised and updated edition The Hollywood Economist, we learn:
+ The future of Netflix: Why the “next big thing” now seems in such deep trouble...
+ What it costs to insure Nicole Kidman’s right knee…
+ How Hollywood manipulates Wall Street, including the story of the acquisition of MGM… wherein a consortium of banks and hedge funds lost some $5 billion… while Hollywood made millions.
+ Why Arnold Schwarzenegger is considered a contract genius…
+ The fate of serious fare: How HBO, AMC, and Showtime have found ways to make money offer adult drama, while the Hollywood studios prefer to cater to teen audiences.
