20th Century Fox will get a "modest" distribution fee for releasing Star Wars, News Corp President Peter Chernin said Tuesday on a conference call to discuss the company's earnings.
"Star Wars is just a straight distribution" deal, analyst Davis said. "It's all profit. They really have no risk."
The latest instalment in the Star Wars saga will open in most of the world today and tomorrow. Countries where it will not open this weekend include Japan, South Korea, some parts of Africa and Latin America.
The film will be shown in theaters equipped with digital projectors in 17 markets, including the US and Canada, the largest digital presentation for any movie.
