Austin GatesHOST
So...
Austin GatesHOST
RoboCop was distributed by Orion Pictures and released in theaters July 17, 1987.
Austin GatesHOST
And at the box office, the film scored almost $53.5 million worldwide.
Alan WhetstoneHOST
No surprise there.
Kristi CookHOST
And the success of Chicken Chop Date has led her to bigger projects where she is actually going to be producing a movie based on an interviewer falling in love with the person that they're interviewing.
Kristi CookHOST
It was announced earlier this year, Chicken Chop Date creator and host Amelia de Moldenberg is developing a romantic comedy for Amazon MGM Studios' Orion Pictures.
Kristi CookHOST
DeMoldenberg will star as a by-the-book journalist whose carefully planned life unravels when a routine celebrity interview unexpectedly turns into a romance that makes her question everything she believes about love.
Kristi CookHOST
Gloria Sanchez Productions, the company behind Booksmart and Will & Harper, will produce the film with DeMoldenberg.
Lindsey WeberHOST
Is she a good actor?
Bobby FingerHOST
Well, she sold a movie about Chicken Shop Date to Orion Pictures, and she will star in it.
Lindsey WeberHOST
Like a meta commentary, like, where she plays-
Bobby FingerHOST
I think it's gonna be, like, a, like a fictionalized version of a person who does Chicken Shop Date shows.

Simon BrewHOST
But, uh, I mean, its release had been delayed when its distributor filed for bankruptcy.
Simon BrewHOST
Eventually, in comes Orion Pictures, this was around the time Orion did RoboCop as well, who distributed basically...
Simon BrewHOST
It distributed it, like, a year after it was expected to come out.
Simon BrewHOST
To everybody's glee and happiness, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure turns into a fairly fast hit as well.
Simon BrewHOST
And that's what they wanted to do, and they told Orion that's what they wanted to do as well.
Simon BrewHOST
Now, Orion, it, it...
Simon BrewHOST
I mean, at this stage, the power dynamic lay with Reeves and Winter, not with Matheson, Solomon, or Orion to that extent really, in that Orion Pictures wanted Keanu Reeves back, wanted Alex Winter back.
Simon BrewHOST
If you didn't have those, you didn't have a sequel, and Orion needed hit movies at that point.
Adam ChinHOST
Amazon Prime, with their acquisition of the MGM library, is a great resource for one boxers.
Adam ChinHOST
So if you have prime video, you can watch a ton of these movies we're going to talk about because I believe the MGM catalog includes Orion pictures and some of these things.
Adam ChinHOST
So, okay, let's go ahead and get into this.
Adam ChinHOST
So, so the studios, a lot of times this is, these are going to be a smaller, either sub prints of the major studio, or they're going to be just smaller production houses like Coralco.
Adam ChinHOST
Yeah.
Adam ChinHOST
OK, Kroko Pictures, you're going to have, again, Orion Pictures, Laura Mar.
Adam ChinHOST
You're going to have some MGM.
Adam ChinHOST
You're going to have
Carl MuhlsteinGUEST
And that was sort of the great industry to be introduced to and learn at that time in the Los Angeles economy, because it was just exploding.
Carl MuhlsteinGUEST
So the first lease I did, I took Orion Pictures through bankruptcy, rejected a 110,000-foot lease.
Carl MuhlsteinGUEST
And as Tony Natsis likes to say, I'm the only broker who rips up 110 and then gets paid on a 44,000 foot new lease.
Carl MuhlsteinGUEST
And then we also, I helped the Motion Picture Association move their headquarters.
Scott CarelliHOST
Yeah, so once the first draft went out in early 1985, um, they had a couple of offers.
Scott CarelliHOST
Uh, they got one from Atlantic Releasing, um, and one from Orion Pictures.
Nick JimenezHOST
Ooh.
Scott CarelliHOST
Uh, and they ended up liking Orion Pictures better because with it being kind of a B movie, it's called RoboCop, right?
Nick JimenezHOST
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Scott CarelliHOST
And I, and you have to...
Scott CarelliHOST
Um, so-
Nick JimenezHOST
Grasshopper Ninja.
NicoleGUEST
What had happened was United Artists was having trouble with basically their parent company, Transamerica, I think is the parent company's name.
NicoleGUEST
And during this time, Just before Heaven's Gate, the inner turmoil resulted in two of United Artists executives walking out and starting their own production company, Orion Pictures.
NicoleGUEST
And I don't know if you know Orion.
NicoleGUEST
I'm sure you do.
