The Auction:
----------------------------------
DC Comics Deal:
Universal:
D100 + 50 => 78
Disney:
D100 + 20 => 91
Colombia:
D100 + 30 => 117
United Artists:
D100 + 20 => 28
Paramount:
D100 + 30 => 94
To say that the DC Comics Deal was something unexpected and a gamble you wouldn't think anyone would be insane enough to attempt to do, is something of a great deal
Colombia somehow outbid… UA, Disney, and Universal… and managed to squeeze them out at the last moment, by spending only 300 million dollars, and fully backing Donner's Superman.
To say that Sid was shocked that Alan Hirschfield himself was risking his position and a helluva lot of his wealth on a failing comic company, and it's a movie that it could potentially make…
Well… Color everyone in Hollywood surprised.
Well, at least you weren't involved with that shitshow.
You wonder just what the fuck Colombia is going to do now with that.
Reward: Colombia Owns DC Comics.
Alan went into considerable debt to do it, but somehow he thinks he knows something that everyone else doesn't.
Except Sid who swore at him for almost ten minutes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Warner Animation (The Loony Toons): The Classic Looney Toons characters are all a packaged deal, just as they were when Schlesinger studios was bought up by Warner when he came in. There is no doubt about it, they are among the most popular cartoon characters in the world. And they carry with them the price tag of success. (Minimum bid on The Loony Toons must begin at 50 million. Gain all the Loony Toons characters, and the rights to their shorts, TV show, and other marketing and promotional material.) $150 Million
Lucasfilm:
D100 + 50 => 125
Universal:
D100 => 93+50=123
Disney:
D100 + 30 => 130
Colombia:
D100 + 10 => 20
United Artists:
D100 + 10 => 50
Paramount:
D100 + 20 => 73
Honestly, you should have been less surprised that the Mouse won.
As it turned out, there was a deal between Jack Warner and the Disney family so that stewardship and ownership of Loony Tunes would indeed go to them, should Warner ever collapse.
Why Jack Warner agreed to that, you didn't know. But all you knew, was somehow, Chuck Jones himself was getting the last laugh over his long-time nemesis/Rival, Walt Disney, as he was, part of the deal to take over the studio… was now head of Disney Animation.
You didn't know what the fuck was going on anymore. But Sid Shineburg was pissed at that.
Reward: Disney now controls Looney Tunes and all the animation of Warner.
Chuck Jones in now head of Disney Animation.

Paramount:

Continuing the Streak of Surprises. Colombia bought Dirty Harry at the last second as well, beating out Paramount with a hundred million dollars.
And Clint somehow agreed to it. Something about "He was hoping for Lucasfilms, but would settle for anyone, not in Universal."
The Bad blood continues to grow through Hollywood as Sid realizes something. He burned some bridges to get to this position. And would now need to lie in it.
Reward: Dirty Harry is now owned by Colombia.
