I'm hoping Harvey & Bob buy it back.

Harvey and Bob will be following soon enough.  The success of Inglourious Basterds helped them survive a predicted death in '09, but the Nine failure is putting them deeper in the hole.  Out of 63 movies released since 11/11/05 (first movie was Derailed), only Halloween (with MGM, $58m), 1408 (also with MGM, $72m), Scary Movie 4 ($91m), and IB (shared with U, $121m), can be considered successes.

Once they're gone, it will really be the end of an era.

It doesnt help matters when they cant keep release dates on anything. They are by far the hardest company for theaters to plan bookings around.
