  • Paramount Consent Decree Review Public Comments 2018
    COMMENTS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF THEATRE OWNERS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, ANTITRUST DIVISION REVIEW OF PARAMOUNT CONSENT DECREES October 1, 2018 National Association of Theatre Owners 1705 N Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 962-0054 I. INTRODUCTION The National Association of Theatre Owners (“NATO”) respectfully submits the following comments in response to the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division’s (the “Department”) announced intentions to review the Paramount Consent Decrees (the “Decrees”). Individual motion picture theater companies may comment on the five various provisions of the Decrees but NATO’s comment will focus on one seminal provision of the Decrees. Specifically, NATO urges the Department to maintain the prohibition on block booking, as that prohibition undoubtedly continues to support pro-competitive practices. NATO is the largest motion picture exhibition trade organization in the world, representing more than 33,000 movie screens in all 50 states, and additional cinemas in 96 countries worldwide. Our membership includes the largest cinema chains in the world and hundreds of independent theater owners. NATO and its members have a significant interest in preserving an open marketplace in the North American film industry. North America remains the biggest film-going market in the world: It accounts for roughly 30% of global revenue from only 5% of the global population. The strength of the American movie industry depends on the availability of a wide assortment of films catering to the varied tastes of moviegoers. Indeed, both global blockbusters and low- budget independent fare are necessary to the financial vitality and reputation of the American film industry.

  • Personal Finance Ratios
    Personal finance ratios There are seemingly countless ways to measure financial health for both individuals and corporations. In earnings reports, companies use complicated calculations and ratios to inform investors—and the general public—regarding the health of their business. However, the average American can use these principles to assess their own financial health. Personal savingsi Formally known as “average propensity to save,” the personal savings ratio is the amount of income saved for an individual or household. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, the average saving rate was just under 5 percent for Americans in 2016. Historically, the average savings rate in any given year since 1959 has been about 8.5 percent. Debt-to-income As its name would indicate, a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the proportion of an individual’s monthly debt payments in relation to his or her gross monthly income. Many lenders use DTI as a primary indicator of worthiness of loans because it gauges the individual’s ability to cover loan payments. Though there is no consistent, unilateral recommended ratio, it is popular convention that a DTI over 40 percent will make it more difficult to secure a loan. Liquidity This ratio is used to determine how an individual is able to make ends meet in the event of an emergency. Liquidity is calculated by taking all liquid assets (such as nonqualified accounts and cash) divided by fixed monthly expenses (like debt payments). It is commonly suggested that an individual should have 3-6 months’ worth of expenses in liquid assets.

  • CPYU Trend Alert
    CPYU Trend Alert: TV for Tweens by Chris Wagner Television programs produced specifically for the tween demographic are taking off. Cable television is beginning to find a niche among tween viewers by focusing on live-action shows. Evidence of this can be seen in the recent success of Disney’s High School Musical franchise and Hannah Montana , as well as Nickelodeon’s Drake & Josh and The Naked Brothers Band . Tweens, of course, have always watched television. However back in the late 1990’s, a gradual shift began occurring among broadcast networks that largely neglected this age group. Dan Schneider, creator of past and present Nickelodeon hits such as Zoey 101 and The Amanda Show says that networks used to air family shows during primetime hours. As of recent years, these time slots have become edgier and racier and as a result, young children and tweens (with diligent parents) were left to view shows elsewhere. Because cable channels had been marketing shows to tweens for many years already, they were primed and ready to step in and fill the programming void. Tweens are in a stage of their lives where they’re no longer beginning to think of themselves as kids. They have not reached full-fledged adolescence, yet are beginning to test their independence and find their individuality. Gary Marsh, the Disney Channel’s president for entertainment says, “[Tweens] are trapped between the cocoon and comfort of being a child, and the rebellion and independence they want as a teenager. So your goal is trying to satisfy all those needs that kids have.” Though differing opinions exist, cable companies generally categorize the tween demographic as being between 9 and 14 years old.

  • Grandich Comes out in Support of David Tyree
    Peter Grandich, Managing Member Office Location: 2431 Atlantic Ave, Manasquan (Wall), NJ [email protected] Mailing Address P.O. Box 245, Perrineville, NJ 08535 DATE: June 20, 2011 CONTACT: Peter Grandich Phone 732-642-3992 [email protected] Grandich comes out in support of David Tyree WALL, NJ - This is America, the birthplace of freedom in the modern world; where freedom of speech is not just guaranteed, it is one of the foundations upon which our country was established. In the U.S.A., everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Except, it seems, for 2008 Super Bowl sensation David Tyree. In an online video posted June 15, Tyree made some gutsy statements about his views of gay marriage, and has since taken a beating in the media for it. Tyree, the former NY Giant whose “Helmet Catch” was the defining moment of Super Bowl XLII and one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, recorded the video because he opposes the notion of gay marriage, and says he’s simply voicing his opinion. “I am not political,” he says in the video. “I believe there is right and wrong. I think many things are subjective, but truth is not. Marriage [among a man and woman] is the backbone of our society.” In response to the negative avalanche of comments published about Tyree and the video, market commentator Peter Grandich has come out in his defense. Grandich, managing member of Trinity Financial Sports & Entertainment Co., blogged on his internationally-followed social and economic blog Grandich.com that he supports Tyree and agrees with his conservative stance.
