Fox doesn't deserve a penny, but this is still the best news I've heard in a while. Thank god WB gets to keep it, and it gets released on time.

Now if all the Watchmen fans boycott Wolverine that should negate the money they make from Watchmen.

NICE!!! I figued WB and Zach wouldn't let this be delayed or F with their movie. I HATE FOX! Everyone should boycot their movies to send a message. All they care about is the $$$, not movie fans, not making a quality movie, nothing. Assh@oles!

Oh thank god, now I can go see it in IMAX and love the shit out of it when people get confused.

Yes, I'm really happy !!!! Fox will receive a cash payment of $5/10 millions as well as a percentage of the film's box office take, which is 8,5%.

Alright guys, yes this is GREAT news, but now you cant put the blame on Fox. They deserve the money they are getting and boycotting their movies isnt going to do much, everyones still going to watch their films they distribute, including me.

Nikhil Hariharann on Jan 16, 2009

just cause the movie wasn't delayed and everyone seems to be happy doesn't mean it was a "peaceful" settlement. i think that's a bit of a misnomer considering everything that went down.

ThePlaylist on Jan 16, 2009

This is good, I guess. FOX does deserve a share of the profits, but at least their name won't be stapled on everything. I still am very pessimistic about the film though.

It's a better outcome then I expected. Fox's Legal team must have had doubts that they could win if it went to trial. Warner Brother's had a good case but I believe that Zack Snyder had more leverage then WB's legal team. I respect Zack Snyder 's decision. It was good for his Cinematic Art Film, WATCHMEN, and for the fans. WB and Mr Snyder could end up losing money if the film makes less money then the cost of production, distribution, advertising and the front up payment to fox and the paying of a percentage of the profits as an end deal. My respect to WB and Zack Snyder Finally;I join my fellow commentators in celebrating the progression of The WATCHMEN to it's planned March 6, 2009 advertised theatrical release date.

I love this site and think at time is nothing short than awesome...that is until you begin to whine about the legal trouble with Watchmen. If you don't care for Fox, don't go to Fox made movies. Stop watching any X-Files reruns, don't watch the Fox and the Hound Dog...stop crying and grow a pair.

#27, The Fox and the Hound was a Disney movie, not a Fox movie.

James on Jan 17, 2009

Yes I'm well aware of that fact...the joke was that FOX is in the title

Now that this is all said and done and it will still come out March 6th and all that...... This. Movie. Is. Going. To. Suck. Yes, I am a purist to the concept of the original GN. It took three movies in comparison to the source material to realize that Moore has been more right than wrong in his derisiveness toward film adaptations of his work. I liked V For Vendetta, but the fact that they felt they had update and/or recontextualize it to fit post-9/11 worldstate, takes a bit away from the true cynicism latent in the original books toward the concept of any man-made form of government being inherently flawed and therefore pointless. But this is about Watchmen, so let me have at it this way: In all the years I have read this book, I always saw it as an animated (if not anime ala Miyazaki or in the style of Ninja Scroll) maxiseries, with each book deserving of a 90 minute, if not 2 hour, "episode" each, meaning, yes, a 24 hour running time. I own the Absolute Watchmen HC and Dave Gibbon's Watching The Watchmen book, which together are like having a Blu-Ray unrated Director's Cut of Watchmen already, and although the scenes we have seen that correlate almost exactly visually to the book itself are spectacular, they consist of a page or so of a much larger narrative that I don't think you can just do a Frank Miller on and think you can portray things that aren't visual in a visual way just to stay true to the source. The book itself is already written and framed in the best way to approach the story, and it is a huge story that takes place over debatably somewhere between the late 40's (in the Minutemen arc) to 1985, and there's a lot of background that is not our history that does exist in Watchmen (Nixon is still president, I rest my case) that you can't just gloss over and expect the person coming to see this who has never heard of the GN but have been hyped to death with cool trailers to want to see it. I know others have said this stuff, it's just my take. I will probably still see it one way or another, though I finally saw Speed Racer after avoiding it for a while, and couldn't get through it, so we'll see, that's all. In true geek speak, I have the best movie version of Watchmen that will ever be in my head and nothing will come close, apologies sorta to Zach Snyder.
