here just be completely thorough:
what does it mean to write of a loss?
what is a tax credit?
Here is what I am conceiving in my head:
Movie costs 100 dollars to make
Uwe finds an investor to pay him 100 dollars.
Investor pays Uwe 100 dollars.
Movie makes 20 dollars.
Uwe and investor split the 20 dollars.
Investor loses money, Uwe gains a bit.
What does tax have to do with this?
K now that you understand my confusion, please try to address it directly.
what does it mean to finance 1000% of a flop?rgoer wrote: this is similar to that, except that instead of financing 1000% of a flop and keeping the extra 900% after it fails, they are financing 100% of a flop and writing off the loss to get a tex credit which they can apply to their other, non-film-related business activities... I don't know the specifics of their balance sheets, but I assume that "finance flop, apply tax break to rest of enterprise" must be profitable or else they wouldn't be doing it...
