Watchmen Battle Ends


News from The Hollywood Reporter.

"Warner Bros. and Fox have resolved their dispute over 'Watchmen,' with the studios scheduled to present a settlement to Judge Gary Feess this morning and request that the case be dismissed.

Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but the deal is said to involve a sizable cash payment to Fox and a percentage of the film's boxoffice grosses; Fox will not be a co-distributor on the film, nor will it co-own the 'Watchmen' property, but it will share in revenue derived from it. The studios released a joint statement last night.

'Warner Bros. acknowledges that Fox acted in good faith in bringing its claims, which were asserted prior to the start of principal photography,' the statement read. 'Fox acknowledges that Warner Bros. acted in good faith defending against those claims.'"



So "Watchmen" shall be coming out on March 6 and all shall be well for the viewers.
It is just as others have told me. Sometimes I worry needlessly over things, but I have been waiting for this movie for a long time.
The "Watchmen" movie saga takes a break now until the movie comes out.

I know! I just like to worry, don't know why.
You knew it all along. You should be breaking the news, not the trades.
