ABC Re-enters Film Production With Four Projects A Year
ABC plans to produce about four feature films annually with budgets of 8 to 10 million, shifting from TV movies to broader theatrical releases. The move follows prior losses by CBS and ABC and points to a transformed industry with pre-sale financing and cross entertainment execs. Leonard Goldenson, back in the film arena, leads ABC’s renewed venture as networks anticipate new competition from pay cable and home video.
