Low Flame
I'm trying hard to be interested in the Weinstein-Ron Burkle-Miramax-Disney negotiations, but I'm just not feeling it. Okay, there's one sentence that caught my attention in Anne Thompson's 4.21 Indiewire report, to wit: "It bears repeating that the Weinsteins themselves are not buying anything. Burkle is trying to acquire the Miramax library and will own it, while The Weinstein Co. will distribute the films." Employees, in other words.

They get the nameplate back, right? They're giving up back catalog to get the nameplate back. Maybe some cash on hand from the financier that will get them back in the game, but I haven't gathered from any of the reporting that Burkle is going to be calling shots for them.

Ron no doubt intends leave them alone and let the Weinsteins be the Weinsteins, etc. But the owner always calls the shots.

They gotta at least split the money off the re-releases, or it ends up being pointless.

So it's like Trump. Probably not a bad play for them.
