Warner Brothers and Fox have resolved their legal battle over the distribution of “Watchmen,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Though the specifics of the agreement have not been disclosed, it will supposedly give Fox a percentage of the box office, as well as a substantial flat cash payment. Fox will not, however, serve as a co-distributor of the movie. The studios are expected to present their settlement to Judge Gary Feess on Friday morning, and request a dismissal of the lawsuit. Fox filed its lawsuit against Warner Brothers in February, claiming a remaining stake in the rights to “Watchmen.” Feess ruled in Fox’s favor on December 24, saying that producer Larry Gordon had not properly secured rights prior to filming and that Fox had a right to the film’s distribution. Faced with a possible injunction to stop the March 6 release of the much-hyped movie, Warner Brothers began settlement talks with Fox. The news comes as a relief to many angry fans who went so far as to threaten to boycott all future Fox productions, the next big one being “X-Men Origins: Wolverine.” All legal battles now aside, they can rest assured that come March 6, they will indeed be watching the “Watchmen.” Talk to other readers about this story.
