ABC Motion Pictures was a production company of ABC that operated from May 1979.[26] Fox was the company's distributor. Until October 1985, the division produced theatrical films along with TV movies, series and mini-series.[27]
- History
ABC Motion Pictures was found in May 1979 with Brandon Stoddard as president.[28] Soon the division was swapped with old film projects. While a boutique would make only a few films per year, Stoddard figured that ABC would succeed in movie production as there were additional revenue sources from video cassettes and cable on top of theater ticket sales and broadcast TV sales.[26] ABC Motion Pictures was incorporated by June 11, 1980.[29]
The division waited two years to get its first slate of three films into production with National Lampoon's Class Reunion just an announcement and Young Doctors in Love beginning production in December 1981 under the theatrical directorial debut of Gary Marshall. In June 1982, "Chain Reaction" (later "Silkwood"[27]) starring Meryl Streep was expected to be in production.[30]
The Flamingo Kid after released by Fox did well but not strong business, Fox pulled the film from release so as to stop spending money on advertising.[27] With networks getting better rating for their own movies of the week over films released on cable and cassettes, networks reduced licensing of theatrical films. Additional boutique production companies entered the market at the same time crowding the market and increasing filming costs. With films distributed by a major studio, ABC's films were slotted in less desirable release dates. On October 28, 1985, ABC shut down ABC Motion Pictures theatrical motion picture operation after the release of only 6 theatrical films[27] which was within weeks of CBS shutting down CBS Theatrical Films.[26] The unit released one last movie, "SpaceCamp", already produced in the summer of 1986.[16] The unit would continue producing TV movies and mini-series while increasing TV series output. A Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation media analyst forecast ABC's losses on its theatrical operations for 1985 to be $5 million.[27] |
