I'm hoping this deal just means we get several gratuitous shots of Katie Holmes in the stands

Brud, if you think NFL salary caps are complex, welcome to the fun and exciting world of Hollywood accounting. The most important thing to understand is that everyone involved is screwing everyone involved. The world box office gross has no real relation to how much money Paramount made. Pulling the production costs and ad budget from the gross also doesn't tell you anything. There are 30 other line items on the expense side that you have to know. These numbers are better protected than NSA secrets, so it is impossible to know the real numbers. Paramount may not have lost money on WotW or MI3, but they definately didn't make what they needed to in order to keep doing business as they were. From a $$ perspective, those movies were disappointing to everyone who had put upfront skin in the game. The Cruise/Wagner firing is actually only a small part of the Paramount story -- it was just the only 8 figure development deal they killed. The bigger story are the several dozen 6 and 7 figure development deals they killed because of what it means for their ability to generate future projects. If Cruise really was a billion dollar ATM for Paramount, he could quit Scientology, go on Oprah jump on the sofa and profess gay love for Bin Laden and he wouldn't be fired.

Re: Lord Xenu Lives: Snyder Bails Out Tom Cruise
Before any off ya'll go out and see the next Tom Cruise movie, actually read what the Scientologist believe and base their ideas on.
Xenu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia After that look to see who is a Scientologist and avoid supporting these wack jobs. This is just a list of the more well known ones, but it may surprise you who is on it. Charles Manson Jerry Seinfeld Nancy Cartwright = voice of Bart Simpson Doug E. Fresh Chaka Khan Jason Lee Juliette Lewis Danny Masterson Lisa Marie Presley Priscilla Presley Kelly Preston List of Scientologists - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
