George Clooney Tries to Save Hollywood

Solid article on how a hedge fund head is affecting (or looking to affect) how Sony goes about financing its films.
Long story short, this guy is using poor box office results for a number of summer films (Clooney says After Earth and White House Down) as a way to scare Sony into only financing tentpoles going forward. Another way, he's telling Sony that it would be fiscally irresponsible to fund smaller-budgeted films, like those Clooney has come to act and direct in in recent years.
For those of you who want to check it out: LINK

Interesting read. Thanks for the post. 
I didn't realize he had been taking his pay on the back end for that long. That's right around 15 years I think.

The manager's argument doesn't make sense. The 2 failures were conventional big budget flops, not creative small budget flops. After earth was the safe formula of will smith + scifi/aliens + money = box office success.
