Got a Few Million Bucks? Buy the Terminator Rights!
/Film — ... Nikki Finke reports that every big Hollywood studio is interested in the purchase, as are Summit and Media Rights Capital. Sony has the greatest interest, she says, as the auction is prepped for later this month. The package to be sold is fairly complete, as it includes the rights to “new Terminator films, TV program and other spin-offs.” (Video games? One would assume so, and perhaps this sale will lead to the eventual release of a decent licensed Terminator game.) ...

The Terminator Is Up For Auction
Movies RSS Feed: UGO — [image] According to Nikki Finke the rights to the Terminator franchise will be up for auction next month.

According to the report, all of the big studios are licking their chops.

While we could get into a load of hypotheticals as to who should get the rights (get it ...

The choice is yours! Nikki Finke reported the news that the rights are for sale, and also printed a hilarious ...

For Sale: The “Terminator” Rights
The Movie Banter — ... Nikkie Finke says that every major Hollywood movie studio is interested, including Summit and Media Rights Capital.
