Company says they believe the really money will be brought in by a series of films, not just one.
Legendary, who was a major investor in this summer’s Superman Returns has said they fully intend to back the sequel currently slated for a 2009 release according to Superherohype!.
If Legendary is unnerved, it isn’t showing. Like Warners, Legendary insists it will turn a profit on “Superman Returns,” and has given all indications that it’s on deck to co-finance a sequel.
Like Legendary, all the funds argue that they won’t be made, or broken, by just one pic. By investing in a slate of pics over the course of several years, they’re virtually guaranteed a return of 10%.
