~ Films on Unique Terms With ITC]
In a deal involving. no. ‘cash: guarantee or any coin in advance, Paramount leased. four of its: remaining 110 uncommitted post-1948° pix to Independent: Television Corp. for syndication. Films in the deal are Alfred Hitchcock’s
Hai Wallis, “Loving You.”
Par -also. made a separate déal
“King ‘Creole”’
for the same pix with RKO Gen-|. 106 uncommitted post-48s. © ‘transactions: are” believed .under |: discussion | ‘but nothing : is. imrne|’ diately forthcoming: It: is‘ under-stood, however, that more tv deals’
eral whereby the station group, the.
New York outlet of which is: WOR
‘TV, will play the pix.. Again ‘no guarantees or front money. is involved but: it is estimated that this deal alone could: ‘bring into Par over $100,000 per pic.
The ITC deal involves ‘short. term leases of various length for.
the _ pix. Paramount will receive 85%. of the
the remaining 15%. Estimates are that. the
dication coin ITC is able to corral.. As in the case of the lease to NBC-EV of 30 Paramount: post-’48s:
recently, with options ‘for. another. 1cois Truffaut's.
30 pix a.year for the next. two
years, the ITC and RKO.General. deals were made. via Paramount the.. Par} subsid reactivated ‘to handie ‘Teas-.

ing transactions. In the. case of the
NBC agreement, the. films: in: ques=: tion had gone. for an: average. of) $300,000 per pic. .Of course this. |
was a network deal and So. “prices are higher.
The Par-ITC deal ‘is somewhat:
thought-provoking . becallse .of the.
no-guarantee, no-cash-down ‘ ‘natiire | of the transaction and ‘because: the: pix involved are’ each substantial. properties for inclusion .ina-web
package. A. factor. understoad ‘to. be ‘behind the nature of: the. pact~ is that these:-pix are. close to. expira
-tures.. “Man Who: ‘Knew Too Much,” the Danny Kaye. starrer “Knock On Wood” and two: Elvis Presley-starring pix made. by an
income from these films “in syndication, ITC’ getting:
features .could. provide earnings for Par of $100,000: to’ $200,000 per -film, depending, of} course, on the length of time of. each lease and the amount of syn|
