He will amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment. Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant. (QS. Al- Ahzab: 70-72)1 Hai orang-orang yang beriman, bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah dan Katakanlah Perkataan yang benar, niscaya Allah memperbaiki bagimu amalan-amalanmu dan mengampuni bagimu dosa-dosamu. dan Barangsiapa mentaati Allah dan Rasul-Nya, Maka Sesungguhnya ia telah mendapat kemenangan yang besar. Sesungguhnya Kami telah mengemukakan amanat kepada langit, bumi dan gunung-gunung, Maka semuanya enggan untuk memikul amanat itu dan mereka khawatir akan mengkhianatinya, dan dipikullah amanat itu oleh manusia. Sesungguhnya manusia itu Amat zalim dan Amat bodoh. (QS. Al-Ahzab: 70-72)2 1 Sher, M. (2004). The Holy Qur’an, United Kingdem: Islam International Publications, p. 642. 2 Akhun, N. (2007).

Merrifield ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ● The film was produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures QUICK THOUGHTS ● Phil Svitek ● Marisa Serafini ● Demetri Panos ● Sara Stretton DEVELOPMENT ● The possibility of a sequel to Independence Day had long been discussed, and the film's ​ ​ producer and writer, Dean Devlin, once stated that the world's reaction to the September ​ ​ ​ 11 attacks influenced him to strongly consider making a sequel to the film ​ ● Soon after the success of the first film, 20th Century Fox paid Dean Devlin a large sum ​ ​ of money to write a script for a sequel. However, after completing the script, Devlin didn't turn in the script and instead gave the money back to the studio, as he felt the story didn't live up to the first film. It was only approximately 15 years later, that Devlin met up with Roland Emmerich to try again, having felt that they had "cracked" a story for a ​ ​ sequel ● Devlin began writing an outline for a script with Emmerich, but in May 2004, Emmerich said he and Devlin had attempted to "figure out a way how to continue the story", but that this ultimately did not work, and the pair abandoned the idea ● In October 2009, Emmerich said he once again had plans for a sequel, and had since considered the idea of making two sequels to form a trilogy ● On June 24, 2011, Devlin confirmed that he and Emmerich had found an idea for the sequels and had written a treatment for it ● In October 2011, however, discussions for Will Smith returning were halted, due to Fox's ​ ​ refusal to provide the $50 million salary demanded by Smith for the two sequels ● Emmerich, however, made assurances that the films would be shot back­to­back, ​ ​ regardless of Smith's involvement ○ Resurgence filmmakers were reported to be preparing versions of the film both ​ with and without Will Smith.

  • Demand for Performance Goods: Import Quotas in the Chinese Movie Market
    Demand for Performance Goods: Import Quotas in the Chinese Movie Market Chun-Yu Ho Marc Rysman Yanfei Wang University at Albany, SUNY Boston University Renmin University September 17, 2019 Abstract This paper develops and estimates a structural model of consumer demand for movies in which consumer preferences are heterogeneous over movie attributes and durable on movies that watched before. Consumers do not consider the movies watched in the past as relevant choices contemporarily, which leads consumers to be heterogeneous in their choice sets. Our main finding is that consumers prefer movies with time slots in holiday, and have heterogeneous preferences on watching movies. Interestingly, consumers prefer less to watch movies with a longer time gap from releasing week is driven by the unavailability of those movies in their choice set due to consumption durability. We employ our model to analyze the import liberalization for U.S. movies to China since 2012. Counterfactual experiments show that consumer welfare increases by 10% due to the import liberalization. However, the import liberalization reduces the market share of competing foreign movies, but raises that of domestic movies. Finally, if the consumption durability in preferences is ignored, we show that the welfare benefit for consumers is overestimated and the business stealing effects of extra foreign movies on competing foreign movies and domestic movies are also overestimated. Keywords: Demand Estimation, Choice Set, Trade Liberalization. JEL classifications: L10, L82, F13 1 1 Introduction Like many developing countries, China restricts the entry of cultural goods such as movies and books. We study the welfare implications of this restriction in the foreign film market from the perspective of consumer choice.
