<strong>Napoleon</strong> Dynamite.<br />
In some sources it said, “<strong>Napoleon</strong> Dynamite is a 2004 American comedy film produced by Jeremy<br />
Coon, Chris Wyatt, Sean C. Covel and Jory Weitz, written by Jared and Jerusha Hess and directed<br />
by Jared Hess. <strong>Napoleon</strong> Dynamite was acquired at the Sundance Film Festival by Fox Searchlight<br />
Pictures and Paramount Pictures, in association with MTV Films. It was filmed in and near Franklin<br />
County, Idaho in the summer of 2003. It debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004. The<br />
film’s total worldwide gross revenue was $46,118,097. The film has since developed a cult following.”<br />
In the other source that we found was “On August 30, 2011, <strong>Napoleon</strong> Pictures filed a lawsuit<br />
against Fox Searchlight for $10 million for underreporting royalties and taking improper revenue<br />
deductions. In its term sheet, Fox agreed to pay 31.66% of net profits on home video. The lawsuit<br />
says that a 2008 audit revealed that Fox was only paying net royalties on home videos at a 9.66%<br />
rate, and there were underreported royalties and improper deductions. <strong>Napoleon</strong> pictures also alleges<br />
that Fox has breached the agreement in multiple other respects, including underreporting pay<br />
television license fees, failing to report electronic sell-through revenue, charging residuals on home<br />
video sales, as well as overcharging residuals on home video sales, deducting a number of costs and<br />
charges Fox has no right to deduct and/or for which there is no supporting documentation.”<br />
And finally the last source was “In May 2012, Fox went to trial after failing to win a summary judgment<br />
on the case. The trial began on June 19, 2012. On November 28, 2012, a 74-page decision sided<br />
with Fox on 9 of the 11 issues. <strong>Napoleon</strong> Pictures was awarded $150,000 based on Fox accounting<br />
irregularities.” That’s the information that we have for you!!!
