I just want to point out that the new premium cable business started by Viacom etc does not and will not include any DreamWorks movies. Those go to HBO in a very long-term arrangement which also follows DreamWorks wherever it ends up. And that includes the Transformers franchise. (See my previous: New Joint Premium TV Channel Venture By Viacom/Paramount/MGM/Lionsgate)
I won’t be posting the rest of today. Back tomorrow. Play nice in the meantime.

Nikki it sounds like with much success that Dreamworks has had at the box office,they would follow the league and create thier own satellite tv movie channel to compete with Starz,Showtime,HBO etc. Just a thought.
