based on higher ticket price*, before accounting for potential audience growth

• Studio theatrical revenue (net of glasses cost) is increased 13-17%**

• The net revenue uplift is generally greater than the $5-12M increase in production cost to shoot/convert the film to 3D

Home EntertainmentNew Windows

• SPE is examining new windowing opportunities, including:

PPV/VOD window advanced to day/date with DVD release on selected titles

Evaluating potential for Premium Home Theater as an early, high-priced rental model

Exploring opportunity to create an early Blu-ray window, releasing titles on Blu-ray in advance of DVD

Identifying a subset of titles to be released earlier than the traditional 90-120 days post theatrical to take advantage of holiday buying and bring select titles into the fiscal year

Assessing impact of delay in selected rental models (Warner Brothers now delaying availability of films on Redbox and Netflix until 28 days after DVD street date)

• Dedicated in-house organization for VFX and animation saves SPA roughly $20 - $30 million per film
