Revised Hotel T Notes attached and below.
Thanks!
Notes from Conversation with Robert Smigel So Far (12-2):
Â
Pg. 1: Good idea to tweak the opening so that itâs not a 3-page scene. Instead itâs a part of the opening montage that establishes the relationship between humans and monsters.
Â
Pg. 9: All of the montage is great â letâs just focus more on setting up that Drac and Mavis are in conflict about how human-y Dennis is.
Â
Pg. 24: We are going to keep Quinston in the movie, but Johnny has to be the driving force behind the idea of modernizing the hotel. Quinston is just an extension of what Johnny wants in the movie, and when Johnny discovers that Draculaâs actually been dismissive of Quinston, it will feel like a betrayal because itâs as if Drac was dismissive to him.
Â
At the end of Act One, Dracula will convince Johnny and Mavis that everything will go fine without them at the Hotel because Quinston is coming to the hotel and heâll carry out everything that Johnny wants. Once they leave, Dracula then heâll throw Quinston in the well, and Quinston wonât actually do anything at the hotel until the Third Act.
Â
What doesnât work right now with Quinston is how heâs used in the third act, because his decision to go to Northern California to secure his power over the hotel doesnât make sense. But Quinston will be useful at the hotel in the Third Act by playing to the remaining monstersâ fears that theyâre being abandoned by Dracula.
Â
Pg. 34: Genndy really believes he can make Cakey work, but in order for it to work, Cakey needs to be set up clearly as the kind of monster that Dennis really likes. Heâll be a parody of an Elmo-like character, and the idea will stay simple and clear â the stuff about Batman will go so that itâs not convoluted.
Â
End of Act 1/Everyone Going Out of Town
Has to be clear that:
Draculaâs plan is to get Johnny and Mavis out of town so that he can show Dennis the glory of being a Vampire and tease the Vampire-ness out of Dennis.
Johnny and Mavis want to be alone because theyâre not having fun anymore in their relationship.
Johnny wants to stay at the hotel because he likes it there, because heâs modernizing the hotel and Dracula is taking him seriously as he does it.
Mavis is starting to piece together in her mind that sheâd rather raise Dennis in the human world.
Â
Drac will put Eunice and the Human Fly in charge of the hotel after he puts Quinston in the well. Eunice and the Human Fly will not care, and the hotel will soon become a crazy mess.
Â
Road Trip
Drac should have a clear plan for how the road trip is supposed to go, where theyâre going to stop, etc.
Â
Pg. 44: Dracula will try very hard to explain his plan for the road trip to his friends in this scene in the sauna, but they be so distracted/freaked out by an old naked man that they donât pay attention. That way Dracula has a clear plan but the trip will be chaotic because the other monsters donât know what the plan is.
Â
Mavis and Johnnyâs Trip
On Mavis and Johnnyâs trip around Europe, it will become increasingly clear to Mavis that she wants to raise Dennis in the human world. She and Johnny will be discriminated against at the restaurant in Paris, but the discrimination wonât deter Mavis from wanting to live in the human world. Instead, it will clue the audience in to the idea that Mavis living with the humans is a bad idea. It will warn the audience, not the characters.
Â
While theyâre on their trip, Mavis will start to relax and become the Mavis that we all remember from the first movie, but sheâll attribute that relaxation to being in the human world.
Â
But, when theyâre on the roof of the Louvre, Johnny should get Mavis so happy/relaxed that she start thinking that âit doesnât matter where we live, as long as weâre together.â That way sheâs almost at the point of deciding to stay at the Hotel, but then she finds out that Dracula is in jail with Dennis, and she decides definitively to move.
Â
Tracking the Hotel
Have to make sure that as we keep cutting back and forth to the hotel, weâre really tracking the story there. The hotel has to keep getting worse and worse each time we cut back to it.
This idea is in there in the scene on Pg. 67 and Pg. 91 (after Drac has already left for Sunnyvale), but we need to be teasing out the idea of the hotel falling into chaos in Dracâs absence over the course of Act 2, and we need to be following it more closely.
Â
Letâs try cutting the scene on pg. 68 where Quasimodo finds Quinston in the well, because Quinston should stay down there until the third act.
Â
Jail
The monsters should still go to jail, but the scene there needs to be shorter and the jail has to feel like a fun, safe jail thatâs in keeping with the tone of the rest of the movie.
Â
The scene in at the jail should really be about Dracula finally taking good care of Dennis and being a good grandpa to him.
Â
Pg. 88: When Dracula comes back to the Hotel, he thinks that everything will be fine when he gets there, but the Hotel is in chaos.
Â
When Mavis arrives back at the hotel, she has decided â based on Draculaâs actions â that she definitely wants to move to the human world.
Â
When Johnny arrives back at the Hotel, heâs hurt by what Drac did to Dennis, and then finds out that Dracula had Quinston put in the well, so his last ounce of desire to defend Dracula falls away and he too decides that they definitely need to go.
Â
Pg. 89: We donât need the scene of them on the plane to Sunnyvale â that was really only there to service the idea that Dracula followed them on the same plane, and now Dracula will come to Sunnyvale later.
Â
After Mavis and Johnny Have Left
Dracula will mope a bit, but heâs dealing with the chaos at the Hotel. He canât have come to the realization fully that heâs been doing the wrong thing by Dennis. He canât have come to his senses yet. Heâs just missing his family.
Â
Good idea that Mavis accidentally butt-dials Dracula, and he misinterprets the conversation that he overhears between Mavis, Johnny, and Dennis in a way that makes him think that Dennis needs him now more than ever. Itâll reinvigorate his desire to go after Dennis and bring out the Vampire in him. Heâll be more obsessed with his goal all along, not less.
Â
Drac Leaving the Hotel Again
After the butt-dial, Dracula will decide to leave the Hotel and go after Mavis and Johnny.Â  The Hotel is either in complete chaos, or the monsters at the hotel should really need Dracula to do something for them, but instead Dracula leaves.
Dracula doesnât know that over the course of the second act the monsters have become increasingly afraid that Drac is abandoning them, and so him leaving in this moment will make their fear even worse.
Â
Once Drac Leaves the Hotel, Quinston will come back out and prey on the monstersâ fear, make them really think that Drac has abandoned them, Then heâll claim that all of the modernization that he wants to make are actually orders from Dracula.
Â
The Rest of the Third Act
Thereâs still some thinking to be done on how this Third Act will work.
We donât need both the costume shop and the Wal-Mart scenes
Â
Donât know what it is yet, but we have to do something that creates a problem for Dracula when he decides to leave the Hotel.
But it doesnât work to have Quinston leave the Hotel and come to NorCal with the other monsters.
It just doesnât make sense story-wise to have Quinston go to NorCal in order to secure something in Transylvania.
Â
Have to motivate Dennis running away better, and clarify how Drac realizes everything has been all his fault

Subject: RE: MARK E POLLACK AGREEMENT
Â
Thanks.Â  In the interest of time, I took a very quick look through the agreement.Â  Here are myÂ  thoughts:
Â
1.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â I think the format would work better if this was in the form of an agreement rather than a letter agreement.Â  It is generally how the Company would memorialize something like this, it is more in line with their format and it would solve the issue I have with par. 1 Â where we are not âagreeingâ to anything despite how it is drafted.
2.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â Is it necessary for each of the Sony entities to be parties?Â  Does it include any entity that is not currently a party to an agreement with Mark E?
3.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Do we really want to define each company individually as âSonyâ â letâs please think it through and make sure that the âindividually and collectivelyâ is in our best interest.Â  I understand why it would make the drafting easier but would hate for Â separate entities to pick up obligations of another simply b/c they are defined a certain way.Â  Please double check that it works or change appropriately.
4.Â Â Â Â Â Â  In Par. 2 think it would be better to make clear that he isnât giving up anything $ wise.Â  I think the language in the agreement is clear but since we know that is the biggest hurdle to overcome in our draft vs. theirs maybe a more finessed approach would work.Â  Perhaps ending the first sentence after the word Effective Date and moving the proviso up to the beginning of a new sentence
5.Â Â Â Â Â Â  In par. 2 d and 2 e we should specify under what agmts the $ is due.
6.Â Â Â Â Â Â  I assume Bob is comfortable and Steve has approved giving on the point/agreeing that he gets paid if we havenât done a long form by August.Â  I am not suggesting it isnât fine, just want to make sure since I donât recall it every coming up before they dropped it into their draft.
7.Â Â Â Â Â Â  In par 4 â think we should be clear about logistics â we canât put ourselves in position of being in breach if he doesnât designate etc.Â  These payments go way out way in time.Â  Perhaps saying that it goes into same account unless he has designated a different one, which he can do at any time or from time to time etc.
8.Â Â Â Â Â Â  In par 4 a, b, c Â -
a.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Take out the words âas the same may be amended or extendedâ
b.Â Â Â Â Â  Be more specific about the use of the term âthereinâ â as those terms are defined in par ___ of the ___ agreement or have a catch all that initial capped terms not otherwise defined have meaning in ___ agmt.Â  Note also that we are tying it to the short form.Â  What happens if there is a long form?Â
c.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Change the âcommencing on January 1, 2028 [or other date] and continuing in perpetuityâ to â from and after Januaryâ¦â
d.Â Â Â Â Â  In c â think you need to say âfollowingâ before agreements or define each one.Â  I take it that there is no need to specify what âbucketsâ there are under those agreements
9.Â Â Â Â Â Â  Â In par 5 â depending how you address the defined terms point, there may need to be some adjustment here
10.Â Â  In par 6 â I am confused as to why we are saying that the terms in 5 a and b would extend to a new engagement.Â  I was under the impression that anything in future properties and/or engagements would be on terms âto be negotiatedâ. Â Â Why are we locking ourselves in ?
11.Â Â  In 9 b â not sure whether we should have the term âother licenseesâ.Â  I understand why we would want it but wonder whether it extends beyond what we have agreed to.Â  Perhaps adding the phrase âif anyâ?
12.Â Â  I donât think the second sentence of 9 j works for us as company.Â  Way too broad.Â  Â

Opportunity to reach More than 100 Prominent Investors, Leading Angel Groups, Venture Capital Firms & Private Equity Funds
A Limited Number of Presenter Slots are still Available for Early and Later-Stage Companies Raising Capital
Please Apply to Present by this Wednesday, December 12th to Ensure Consideration
Dear Amy:
With our next funding venue coming-up on December 3rd, I am writing to you again as we are always on the look-out for promising companies, like Sony Pictures Entertainment, that may resonate with the universe of Angels, VCs, Family Offices and other private investors who attend our well-established investment conferences. In todayâs tight-money environment, many good businesses, from early to later-stage and middle-market, are finding it difficult to obtain financing as their current banking and private investor relationships are no longer reliable funding sources. Companies see our "investor-centric" funding venues as a highly efficient and cost-effective alternative to hiring an Investment Banker or going on a Road Show to raise money.
You can see a video from one of our events on the conference website at www.privateequityforums.com/index.html#!home/mainPage. This should give you a better sense of the venue as well as the high quality and dynamics of our prestigious conferences.
In the event that you are all set with your funding requirements and existing capital sources, just advise me by return e-mail with a notation to "Delete" in the subject line and Iâll be sure to take your e-mail address of amy_pascal@spe.sony.com off our list of potential Presenter candidates right away. (Kindly, do not use all caps to ensure receipt.) Although we have not had a chance to speak about this event or your company's funding requirements, kindly note that this correspondence is not part of a bulk mailing being delivered to you by a commercial e-mailing service and I have sent it to you personally on the basis of general research that our staff has undertaken on your company - based upon its industry sector and stage of operations. As this e-mail has not been sent to you by a commercial e-mailing service, there is no remove button. The procedure that I have set forth in the paragraph below to be removed by using the Reply Feature is in compliance with the requirement to provide recipients with a visible and âeasy-to-useâ method to prevent a person from getting any more e-mails.
If you are seeking capital and things are not going as quickly as you would like, I wanted to let you know that we would be pleased to accept your application to present at our upcoming National Business Funding Conference being held in the Grand Ballroom of the Yale Club New York on Wednesday, December 3rd. Your visibility at this unique event could quite possibly enhance your ability to accelerate the funding process with a view of raising capital within the next few months. These âdeal-orientedâ forums that we have been hosting for nearly 14 years are among the best investor-attended events of their kind in the U.S. During this period, I believe that we have provided entrepreneurs with greater access to more investors than any other organization in the country. If you would like see what other business people have had to say about our national investor forums, please go to # .
By the way, you may be interested in knowing that our organization was selected by Opportunist Magazine for a cover story in which I was interviewed. If you would like to read this article entitled âConnecting Investors and Entrepreneursâ, which addresses capital raising and chronicles the reasons for the success of our business funding venues, just go to  #more-10605.
Reserving Presenter Slot and Application Process - Please Call. Do Not Write: As a courtesy, we can tentatively hold a Presenter slot for the company while you are considering this opportunity, subject to your confirmation and a customary review of the company on our part. My direct line at our Connecticut office is 203 438 4411. I have found that a brief conversation first can save a great deal of time on the back-and-forth of e-mail exchanges and will give me the opportunity to better respond to your questions in the context of your capital needs and financial position. You are also welcome to send me your Executive Summary and I will call you back as soon as possible... Please be sure that any info you send to me includes the best phone number for me to reach you. Thanks.   It is my pleasure to take whatever time is necessary to make a determination if the company would be a good fit for the event and help you to identify the points that would be most important for you to emphasize in your presentation to investors.
Thanks for taking a few minutes to read this e-mail carefully, as many of your questions will be answered and you will get a much better idea as to the value proposition has attracted so many companies to our events from all over the United States and other countries. There is no comparable funding venue in the United States to what we offer as measured by the number and quality of the active capital sources who attend our forums - not to mention the fact that we also reach out to investors for our entrepreneur participants and assist them in following-up after our event.
Overview: This prestigious event could provide you with a highly effective opportunity to meet qualified investors and financial partners in what will also be a very prestigious setting. We expect principals from more than 100 active early and later-stage investment funds to attend from throughout the United States - representing more than $200 billion in capital. In addition, many high net worth investors and a number of prominent angel groups will be joining us. In addition to the brand-equity of our venues, the strong investor response to our recent events would indicate that there is no shortage of interest from investment funds and private investors who are looking for serious opportunities in promising early and later-stage companies. From our vantage point, we can see there is a clear readiness to invest from many VCs, private equity funds and Angels who understand that historically, it is in times like these that the best investment opportunities are available.
Very Important Regarding Fees: In the event that you are not already familiar with our venues, kindly note our âprincipal differentiatorâ is, that unlike most groups which organize deal-oriented events, we are not part of any government agency or non-profit group, nor are we primarily subsidized by paid sponsors, i.e. vendors or service providers, so as to not compromise our forums with a high population of non-investors such as lawyers, accountants, advisors, recruiters and others offering services. Our private âinvestor-onlyâ conferences could be best described as a co-op for the 15 to 20 Presenters and other featured companies. We underwrite the events and the entrepreneurs share in the cost (just like a trade show), the amount and terms of which we try to customize to a companyâs particular financial situation. As a result, companies are required to pay a fee to attend or present based upon a number of factors, which may include a contingent or differed payment.
How much is it? As every company differs with respect to its financial resources, stage, revenues and funding requirements, we do not have a âone-size-fits-allâ structure with respect to fees, payment terms or visibility options and will do our best to get a qualified company on the conference program. Accordingly, if you would like to find out what specifically your cost would be to present or attend, please call me - as I will not know until I learn more about your company, its funding requirements and any financial issues that you may be facing.
Presenter Qualifications: The cornerstone of our events is to showcase promising early and later-stage companies, which we believe are fundable and have the potential to be part of the next generation of emerging growth companies. With respect to the Presenter qualifications, we for the most part feature post-revenue companies that have already had some meaningful Angel or âAâ round VC funding. Although we prefer companies with some revenue, we will also consider pre-revenue development-stage companies with new platform technology or some proof of concept, so long as they are not raw un-funded start-ups and they have already had some initial outside funding.
I would be pleased to discuss the participation options and costs when we have a chance to talk. One thing that you can be certain of is that any fees associated with presenting or attending our events are substantially less that than the costs of extensive travel to meet investors or the front-end fees and retainers charged by placement agents to reach the same caliber of investors who regularly attend our events. More information on general Presenter qualifications can be found on our website at www.privateequityforums.com/qualifications.html and www.privateequityforums.com/profiles.html.
Please keep in mind that our events distinguish themselves from many other venues in several key respects as listed below:
1)       Nearly 100% of the guests (not connected with the presenting companies) are active investors who have PAID to attend.
2)       Presenting companies reach a NATIONAL audience of qualified funding sources focusing on early-stage opportunities.
3)       Only 12 to 15 companies are featured on the program which provides for high visibility to investors.
4)       The events are not primarily sponsor supported and accordingly NOT heavily populated with service providers.
5)       There are no concurrent activities or competing presentations. All companies present to the entire audience.
6)       Companies are never more than 10 to 20 minutes from their breakout sessions after they present.
7)       These are âdeal-orientedâ events. There are no panels or other distractions that keep the spotlight from the presenters.
8)       The majority of the attendees are PRINCIPALS of the private equity or venture capital firms whom they represent.
9)       Presenters can plan for the forums in advance as we provide confirmed guest information prior to the conference dates.
10)       Featured companies benefit from the strong brand equity that we have built with investors for more than 10 years.
11)       Detailed contact information on all attending investors along with follow-up assistance is provided to entrepreneurs.
12)       More than 5 hours networking time is provided to meet âone-on-oneâ with individual investors and venture capital firm partners.
13)       Entrepreneurs have equal access to all investors, who are NEVER separated in higher-priced VIP areas or functions within the venue.
14)       Because the investors come from throughout the United States, this exclusive forum is like a âRoad Showâ that comes to the company.
15)       Presenters are provided with customized targeted introductions from a universe of several thousand investors among our prior guests.
Our private equity forums, started in 2001, are noted for a first-class venue and an ultra high-end roster of funding sources. These deal-focused symposiums have provided a remarkably beneficial venue for companies to reach a national audience of qualified potential investors. The management of presenting companies benefit from being able to get their story across to a receptive audience of investors in a very favorable upscale setting. Our experience has shown that the investor venue created through our forums can significantly reduce the cost of capital as well as the time necessary to raise it, particularly in this current market with fewer active players for early-stage companies and tougher investment criteria. Our funding venues open a national portal to a audience of active investors.
The upcoming venue can help you solve the three biggest problems in raising capital 1) identifying qualified investors, 2) gaining credible entrÃ©e to them and 3) meeting them under favorable circumstances. Moreover, the event drives the single most essential factor in getting funded quickly, and that is the ability to create contemporaneous interest among investors - which also can serve to significantly improve deal terms.
Again, of particular importance, is the fact that our events are not primarily supported by paid sponsors. As a result, they are not heavily populated by service providers or vendors who would have no interest in investing in your company. Because we draw from all over the country, this venue will be a less costly way for Presenters to meet investors from outside of their particular regions. You should also be aware that the majority of our guests are partners, founders and managing directors of their respective firms; affording the featured companies a chance to reach senior people from the outset.
Targeted Investor Outreach: If your company is selected to present, M. J. Segal Associates can provide you with introductions to any of the firms listed on the conference website, irrespective of their attendance at the upcoming event. As I previously mentioned, companies can pay investment bankers up to several hundred thousand dollars in front-end fees and monthly retainers to gain access to these types of investment groups. Companies presenting at this forum gain the same entrÃ©e at only a small fraction of that cost, notwithstanding the inherent efficiency of our highly-targeted venue. You can find a complete listing of our prior conference registrants, organized by âIndustry Sector Preferencesâ, at
Presenter Qualifications: With respect to the Presenter qualifications, again we favor companies with some revenues, but will also consider pre-revenue development-stage companies with new platform technology or some proof of concept, which has had some funding. Revenues forecast by the third year following funding should approach $15 to $20 million. Preferred industry sectors are Information Management Systems, Enterprise Software, Business Process Management, Computer Technology, Wireless Technology, Social Media, Telecommunications, eCommerce, Energy Technology, Network Hardware and Software, Healthcare Services, Education & Training, Medical Devices, Manufacturing Technology, New Media and Publishing, Internet-Based Business Solutions, Life Sciences, Distance Learning, Financial Services, Consumer Marketing, Specialty Retail, Outsourced Business Services, Cleantech, Homeland Security and Supply Chain Management. Other sectors may also be considered with sufficient growth potential.
If raising capital is the primary obstacle that stands in the way of moving your company forward, you should seriously consider the visibility that we can provide at the upcoming event. As I am sure you are aware, most professional investors will not even consider deals where they do not personally know management or those which have not been referred by a reliable source. Our forums significantly help to remove these barriers to management's power to reach qualified investors. Our upcoming event can provide the third-party endorsement and credibility, which is so critical for getting funded in todayâs market.
We sincerely believe that if a company's potential is truly compelling and that management's vision can be effectively communicated; it will not find a more cost-effective way to reach potential funding sources directly, than by presenting at the upcoming event. Again, this is a unique opportunity to get your message across in âone place and in one dayâ to active serious investors who want to see fundable deals.
Again, if you would not like to receive any further information on upcoming conferences, please let us know by return e-mail and your name will be promptly deleted from our distribution list. In this regard, please provide us with any other e-mail addresses that you use to ensure that you receive no further communications from our office.
We look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your funding requirements.
Kindest regards,

About âSo-Calledâ Free Events: Over the last almost 14 years we have clearly demonstrated, as is true with most things in life, âit is not what or if you pay, but what you get for what you pay.â Please keep in mind that any investor venue (irrespective of its quality) that offers the opportunity to present for free is ONLY free for those who are selected from, what is in most cases, hundreds of companies that have applied. The odds are against you from the outset. And if you are NOT selected, the fact that it was free to present made absolutely no difference - and you are back to the open-end costs of knocking on the doors of investors with little or no entrÃ©e. In many venues, companies that are selected to present for free are then charged up to $1,000 per person for each member of the management team who attends. So was it really free to present. Certainly not. Conferences of our class cost tens of thousands of dollars to produce. Accordingly someone has to pay for them - raising the questions, are presenting companies at budget-priced or free venues getting real value? Are they talking to an audience of bona fide investors, as is the case with our events, or to seats that are full of vendors and service providers who have funded the venue? What is a free bag of potatoes worth, if there are no potatoes in the bag?
For those entrepreneurs who do not make the cut to present at "so-called" free events, then they need to pay to be there - in most cases, from about $700 to $1,500 per person. We saw one âfree to present if selected eventâ that was charging the ânot chosen to present entrepreneursâ $4,000 just to attend and get special VIP access to investors. To present at our events, entrepreneurs are selected based upon their âindividual meritâ - not graded on a curve and do not need to win a competition based upon some subjective definition of "The Best". I wonder if Cisco Systems, Amazon, Google, e-Bay or Starbucks would have made it through a presenter selection contest. Looking at the number of VCs who turned many of them down, I would say probably notâ¦
We simply want to see qualified companies based upon reasonable criteria (such as scalability and proprietary advantage) which we believe are likely to resonate with a good percentage of our investors and are run by entrepreneurs who understand the prudence and wisdom of intelligently committing some dollars to accelerate their capital raising.
Editorial Comment and Event Overview: In addition to the fact that our events are not heavily populated with vendors and service providers, it is important to note that all of the entrepreneurs at our forums have an âequal opportunityâ to personally engage with investors throughout the event; and are never relegated to being in a paid-for âDemo Pitâ outside the main conference area, with the hope of perhaps being selected to present for no fee. Every one of our visibility options, irrespective of the cost, guarantee entrepreneurs âfull and easy accessâ to all of the capital sources attending as well as an extremely high profile at the event. At no time during our forums, are any investors ever sequestered from entrepreneurs in private Vip areas or at our event functions, such as the Luncheon and Dinner/Reception, where a special high payment is required for corporate executives to gain access, as is the case at certain other conferences.
In fact, the key element of our prestigious venues is that all entrepreneurs, whether or not they are Presenters, have a chance to get to know each of the Angels and Partners of the investment groups on a personal level, which then opens the door to establishing your credentials and sharing managementâs vision for the company. The agenda allows approximately 6 hours of unstructured time for socialization and networking, which will give you an extended window to tell your story, while forging relationships with the individual investors and principals of the VCs & private equity funds in attendance.
Moreover, companies participating at our events are NOT held hostage by the decisions of judges or sponsors as to whether or not they will have a chance to present, since those arrangements are made prior to the venue. As a result, our entrepreneurs will NEVER find themselves in a situation where they pay for one thing, such as to be in a âDemo Pitâ, with the hope of getting a chance to present. In addition, we do not have any Best of Show awards, which can serve to de facto undermine the quality of those companies that do not win. We feel that the national audience we deliver of Angel investors and principals from top private equity and venture capital firms are more than well-qualified to decide which of our featured companies represent the right opportunities for them â and do not need anyone else to tell them which are the best deals. In our opinion, the ONLY thing that counts is the number of investors who ultimately vote with their checkbook.

FW: CHAPPIE/PIXELS/HOTEL T 2 (Japan)
Stephen,
My thoughts:
Chappie:  2 issues:  I agree, this is one I would favor softer dates over better but more competitive release periods.   Second, slight chance the film will move so let the team know that so they know this can happen.
Hotel T:  Given the big miss on Cloudy 2, good chance we will NRP this so no commitments we can’t back out of.  We missed our estimate on Hotel T and on Cloudy 2.
Pixels:  I don’t have Dick in for as big an estimate as he does.  Dated films don’t look so bad as competition but ask Dick what else could get dated around this time.  We have the old Japanese games and a set piece in Tokyo, but tailoring to Japan (ex. Wolverine) doesn’t seem to have helped other films.   What is the target audience that Dick sees for this film and how much does Dick envision wanting to spend on marketing?

Subject: CHAPPIE/PIXELS/HOTEL T 2 (Japan)
Dear Stephen,
Hope you are well.
We had a meeting with SMT to talk about a release date of CHAPPIE / PIXELS/ HOTEL T 2.
Re:CHAPPIE
Case 1
We would like to release it from May 16th ,2015.  However ,WB has already offered FOCUS at the same period.
We asked SMT to persuade WB into changing the release date of FOCUS and we are just waiting for their reply now.
The reason why we want to release it from May 16th  is because we should not go with Avengers 2 or Fast & Furious 7.
Please see the competitors release date as follows;
The Man From U.N.C.L.E.   April 18
Avengers 2       April 25
Secret Service     May 22
Fast & Furious 7  June 6 or 13
We don’t have much information about domestic movies at the present.
Case 2
From June 27th
Tomorrow Land   July 4
Terminator 5     July 10
TOHO animation  July18
Inside Out       July18
Mad Max        July 24
Minions         July 31
As you know it is very competitive during a summer vacation period of 2015 so we should release it before the season not to face them.
Re:PIXELS
We have reached an agreement on our release date with SMT.
From September 19(Sat)    There are five consecutive holidays.
2015 Calendar
Sep 19 (Sat)
Sep 20 (Sun)
Sep 21 (National holiday)
Sep 22 (National holiday)
Sep 23 (National holiday)
San Andreas Sep 11
Ant-Man    Sep 19
Silence     Sep 19
Passengers Sep 19
Many distributors aim at the same date , however, PIXELS is our tent-pole movie so we want to release it from that day.
We have been informed that the release date in US is May 15 or mid July. That is good for us because we will have enough time to promote it and
we can attach its trailer on summer big movies.
Re : HOTEL T 2
We were planning to release it from Sep 19. But due to PIXELS releasing, our tentative release date is Oct.10.
It is not the holiday season and there are only 2 national holidays in four weeks.
The final box office of the previous one was 138 M JPY so we should be careful spending money on HOTEL T 2.
Just between us, due to the result of the previous one, exhibitors’ expectations of HOTEL T 2 are not high at the moment.
We would like to discuss with you sometime next week.
Sincerely ,
Kazushi

Subject: Hotel t scripts After the most cursory glance at the fan fiction study and the international study bob gave me we have some real issues with what we need Â to make Â sure we deliver on in our movie It's is clear Mavis her relationship with her father and her boyfriend are really key issues and we are gonna need to make Â adjustments ASAP to take advantage of that informationLatin America Russia and china are the biggest territories for usFrance uk and Germany are more modest in comparison with other animated franchises but are our second biggest marketsBrazil and Australia come after thatFather daughter, extended family,fish out of water( really important esp in places like france) funny monsters are the key.... Drac and Mavis is the center of everything Clearly introducing a baby is dicey and needs to get handled carefully cuz Mavis as a mom is not as relatable and the rel between drac and Dennis is not nearly as important as his relationship with MavisThe study also suggests we need a major song at the end if the movieSome of the things we have cut out of the movie or haven't emphasized enough Is the humanizing of the hotelThe monsters in the real world Mavis as a free spirit torn between two relationships Girly stuff which is in short supplyWe actually had a lot more of this stuff in earlier drafts and I suggest we look at that and see what we can adjust since we sort of almost have timeUnfortunately we probably can't add back the original begining with Mitty judging project runway and frank on a talk showThe opening of drac playing with Mavis's dolls Is good Â did we cut him spraying the drapes with fresh blood Also it was cute when we had drac saying holy rabbies as that was always what Mavis saidAlso the breath joke was funnier when he was talking to the suit of armour and days seriously it's called flossingIt may be late but Mavis and her romance with jhonny are a big deal and we give the wedding pretty short shrift rand there is very little time in the movie she isn't a. Mom should we consider doing an actual scene here with her maybe there is something else we can cutIs it worth having the scene where jhonny comes to drac to say Mavis wants to talk to you and the scene where she tells him the big newsThere was once a suggestion of planting the idea early that Mavis loved growing up in the castle but worries that if her baby isn't a vampire that she doesn't want it to grow up in Transylvania ... That may be better than having to have a whole scene of spelling it out later Â If we plant that earlier the emotional story will start when we learn about the fangs at the birthday party and we will be alittle more with Mavis and what she is worried about as well as dracI know we cut scenes to get the movie moving but I do restaurant sceneAnd the shrunken head waking him up like jhonny suggested to see Dennis and the dialogue about batman believe me that will be in the trailer if we have itI also wonder if we really want to cut all the conflict between jhonny and Dracula over making the hotel more suitable for humans this is where so much of the comedy comes from and in stripping it down I'm worried we are gonna have no subtext and all plot because after all the movie is about humans and monsters living together and it was a very clever way of the story reflecting that in every aspect It's not an update of the acts it's about replacing monsters with humans Also the scene where Mavis and drac sing the monster lullaby to Dennis is a big dealThe new scene with the wolf pups willl be good for physical humour but it makes Mavis such a bummer that she is always worried about him getting hurtI'm also not sure why we replaced the scene with Mavis at the buffet with drac and jhonny plotting it was more clever before we just laid everything out in dialogue also do we really want jhonny in the know to this extentAs I have said a million times we need Â Dracula to be taking him somewhere specific even if they stop off at places along the wayWhat happened to Dracula making the wolf pups chase their tales and putting.

Why Don't You Want What I Want? Mastering the art of influence
Why Don't You Want What I Want?
Order this one hour audio presentation today and start listening immediately
Ever notice how some people are able to gain support for their ideas-almost instantly it seems-while others must battle resistance to every single thing they propose?
It's all about influence.
Learning how to influence others-peers, superiors, even your customers-without relying on your position within the org chart is an art and an important one to master, because unfortunately, positional power doesn't actually carry the weight that you think it might.
When you need to achieve your objectives, simply being the "boss" isn't enough - you must have influence.
Mastering the art of influence can be the difference between achieving your goals and objectives and struggling for the resources and attention you need to get things done. When you master the art of influence, you will be highly successful at convincing others to listen to you, commit to your plans, and help you get your ideas off the ground.
So if you've grown tired of fighting resistance to your ideas or change initiatives, join best-selling author, Rick Maurer and learn how to gain others' support and commitment.
Rick Maurer will teach you how to:
Get people's attention.
Recognize the signs that people are resisting your ideas and plans.
Express your intentions the right way.
Consider the context with which you share your ideas or plans.
Avoid knee-jerk reactions to resistance.
Align your goals with resistors.
And more!

Subject: hotel t
as per our conversation last week Â as many" three monsters and a baby" jokes Â we can Â get into the movie the better and ditto Â the idea fof mavis Â as Â the overprotective mom Â in Â a monster castle but also Â a cool Â mom. stuff Â like dracula Â repeatedly flying intot he wall Â and the baby proofing ., Â the baby seat ect...maybe we should go Â through the script Â and pick Â out all Â the set pieces and Â comedy and Â make Â sure we have what we need
we should Â make sure Â we have enough big moments Â for Â marketing as we finish the movie
page 27: why couldn't we make Â something out of the fact that he needed to lose Â his Â baby Â teeth so Â that fangs can grow and that Dracula was trying to encourage the tooth Â to fall out in funny ways ....its an important metaphor and Â even more importantly keeps the drama of whether he is a vampire or not fron t and center. Â it is a Â mistake not Â to do this.
page 30: scene Â is Â probably neccesssary but its pretty on the nose
page 33: Â i think winnie saying Â zing zing this much is gonna be annoying
page 40: monsters all singing in the car could Â be a good moment....and the ghostbusters joke on page 42
all Â the stuff Â where sweetness is Â undercut with humor is what we want
page 50 Â is Â the old jewish couple Â the funniest thing Â we can Â think of
and Â they should be constantly checking to see if dennis's tooth has grown in
page 55: i admit Â it i have never thought this sunglasses man phone call was Â funny can we do better here...and do something funnier Â with mavis's phone call and Â their attempt to thwart her...also its gonna feel really episodic if they arent actually going somewhere specific Â to Â keep the story moving we should Â use t he camp Â and Â the tooth falling Â out and growing into help us
is Â there anything to be referenced pop culture wise Â with the twilight movies or Â true blood or any of that so that Â the movie Â is taking place Â in Â our world ...maybe we would to have a comedy roundtable with chris Â and phil and seth and evan Â and mckay and see Â if we can Â get some more comedy out Â of this
page 70: Â video Â thing works Â we have to be worrying Â that mavis Â and Johnny are gonna gonna find out what drac is up to Â on more occasions than Â the phone call so it doesn't just come out of nowhere
page 79: jhonny should Â not be in on this we have to feel drac has no options and no friends and drastic times call for drastic measures
page 82: scene with mel brooks is gonna be amazing
do we think scaring the fangs out of him is gonna play ?
we may want to get his imput on this......anything t0 be done with :young frankenstein?
page 85: i hope when marvis starts to cry over the soup we can see her little bat face like we did int he first movie...even though here she is now in her humanform
page 90: how do we get the most out of cakey?
page 94: there is still something off about terrifying your grandson and somehow it doesnt add up anyway
page 101: cant have dennis run away and just come back of his own volition ...whats the point
ending is much bet

Dear Ms Pascal,
There are so many pla


Based on the notes you have on the script below are some thoughts on specific solutions:
Act 1
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Love the
idea that before the wedding we could have a scene with Drac and Mavis - maybe
on the roof and could be more like a mother/daughter pre-wedding chat. It could
be awkward/funny like the scene in the first movie where Mavis is talking to
Drac about liking Johnny.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Great
father-daughter wedding moment if we add back in dancing on the ceiling.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Thought for
where the idea that the hotel might not be a good place for DracÃ¢Â€Â™s grandkid might
be placed:
Ã‚Â
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  We could do this in the scene with Mavis pregnant
in bed. When Drac says Ã¢Â€ÂœHumany? With thousands of years of Dracula genes? Not
gonna happen!Ã¢Â€Â� Mavis could say that they have to accept the baby no matter what
it is and raise it in a place where it belongs, either at the hotel or the
human world.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
How we can
get back some of the fun humanizing of the hotel in a precise way:
Ã‚Â
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  During Drac and JohnnyÃ¢Â€Â™s walk through the lobby
we can add back in the yoga sign and spinning class in the background.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  We can get back in the restaurant scene where
monster food gets served to humans and vice versa as a beat in after Harry 3
Eyes and Wayne chasing tennis ball.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  To make clear itÃ¢Â€Â™s not an update of the acts but
about replacing monsters with humans. Johnny could say they have to do more to
humanize the hotel so Dennis and Mavis will stay, but Drac doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t want to go
so far. Ã¢Â€ÂœIÃ¢Â€Â™m not replacing monsters with humans. ThatÃ¢Â€Â™s going too far!Ã¢Â€Â�
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
If we do
want to replace Cakey there was the great dialogue we had before about Batman.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
So that Mavis isnÃ¢Â€Â™t a bummer at the Wolf Pup Party, letÃ¢Â€Â™s
have Mavis want to come to the party and be ready to have fun and be open
(maybe sheÃ¢Â€Â™s lightened up after Lullaby) ItÃ¢Â€Â™ll be great to see Mavis acting
like her fun self. ItÃ¢Â€Â™s only when Dennis gets hurt that she gets worried and says
sheÃ¢Â€Â™s thinking about moving.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Rather than have the scene with Johnny and Drac, we could
have a scene with Mavis where Drac pretends to be more to be supportive of her
trip to check out JohnnyÃ¢Â€Â™s home town and convinces her to leave Dennis with him
for Grandpa time.Ã‚Â  This would have Drac
manipulating her like his old self because his real plan is to get the fangs
out before she comes home.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
The other
jokes that are missed and we can get back in:
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Drac spraying fresh blood on the curtains.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Drac said holy rabies like Mavis did.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  The bad breath joke was funnier when he was
talking to the Suit of Armor and says seriously it's called flossing.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  The shrunken head waking Drac up.
Ã‚Â
Act 2
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Agree that itÃ¢Â€Â™s important to set up Drac is taking Dennis
someplace specific.Ã‚Â  We can establish
from the beginning of the trip that Camp Vamp is their ultimate destination.
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
If Camp Vamp is the destination (and the solution to
DracÃ¢Â€Â™s problem), then we need a logical reason why the monster friends would teach
Dennis along the way. Maybe itÃ¢Â€Â™s Frank who suggests he and the other monsters
could take a crack at bringing out the fangs in Dennis. Ã¢Â€ÂœMaybe if Dennis sees
us doing cool monster stuff, itÃ¢Â€Â™ll inspire him.Ã¢Â€Â� Drac gives it a shot.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
If we are adding so much back in to the first act, it
feels like we can cut some time here if monster stops teaching Dennis are one
montage-like sequence. LetÃ¢Â€Â™s combine Frank/Wayne/Murray into consecutive beats.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
This means we need to move Minimart (as itÃ¢Â€Â™s currently
separating the Wayne and Murray teaching beats). Maybe we combine San Jose
Arrival and Minimart into consecutive beats.
Ã‚Â
Ã¢Â€Â¢ LetÃ¢Â€Â™s look at some trims to Camp Winnepecaca as well.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Back at the Hotel, maybe we can get Mavis get right to one
of the themes: Ã¢Â€ÂœI thought you finally accepted me being with Johnny and now you
are doing it all over again with Dennis.Ã‚Â
Trying to control and make things your way.Ã‚Â  You canÃ¢Â€Â™t this time, Dad.Ã¢Â€Â�
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Mavis should say sheÃ¢Â€Â™s packing up and leaving then and
there and Drac begs her to let them stay for the party, itÃ¢Â€Â™s all set up, guests
are coming, etc. and Mavis agrees.
Ã‚Â
Act 3
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
HereÃ¢Â€Â™s some specific thoughts for Act 3 that might help
streamline the action and give the emotional beats:
Ã‚Â
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Instead
when Drac goes to Vlad and Vlad says what he needs to do to Dennis, Drac canÃ¢Â€Â™t
stomach it and leaves Ã¢Â€Â“ he realizes he canÃ¢Â€Â™t put Dennis through this.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Vlad
shows up at the party and heÃ¢Â€Â™s Ã‚Â like, Ã¢Â€ÂœIÃ¢Â€Â™m
here for the kid, no grandchild of mine is going to not be a vampire.Ã¢Â€Â�
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Vlad flips
at what he sees (humans in the hotel, Mavis married to a human, etc.) and talks
about the shame that Dennis is.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Drac stands
up to Vlad, defends his family, and talks about letting people be who they
are.Ã‚Â
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Dennis
in the meantime has run away when he hears the shame part.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  Bela
summons cronies, while Drac, Mavis, etc. go look for Dennis.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  The
cronies and DracÃ¢Â€Â™s search party (with humans from hotel) clash and, same as we
have now, Dennis comes out of hiding when his family is in danger and shows his
fangs.
oÃ‚Â Ã‚Â  The
cronies could try to humiliate Vlad but he finally says this shit doesnÃ¢Â€Â™t
matter anymore, because what matters is family.
Ã‚Â
Ã‚Â·Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â Ã‚Â
Drac apologizes somewhere in here to Mavis/Dennis for
judging Dennis. He comes clean that what it was really about that he was afraid
they were going to move away and he just wanted his family with him (this is
DracÃ¢Â€Â™s underbelly from the first movie and it feels like audiences love this
family theme).
