Family Room
(OTC BB: FMLY) Back in the News After A Lengthy Absence |
|
I haven't published on Family
Room since September
4th when we covered the start of filming of "Control",
with Ray Liotta and Willem Dafoe.
As you can see from the chart, this
has been a lackluster year for Family Room, which I previously had
high hopes would find its way into the $.25 range this year. So
far on Family Room, I have been wrong.
However, the premise for owning this
stock has not changed. There are only 24 million shares issued and outstanding,
meaning the market is placing a $2.5 million value on the company with
stock trading at about $.10. The company only needs one big win of its
many projects in development to notch substantial earnings per share.
Family Room requires about
$750,000 in cash to cover its annual overhead. Co-Chairman Randall Emmett
and George Furla don't take salaries of any kind. The company runs lean
and mean, and one big win will send this stock rocketing.
Family Room has enough production
business starting next year to cover the corporate overhead. Now, it is
just a matter of earnings to get the stock rolling.
Today, just after the market closed,
the company announced it has sold the rights to the remake of the THE
AMITYVILLE HORROR, which was acquired earlier this year, to Miramax.
Dimension Films, a subsidiary
of Miramax, has picked up the rights to THE AMITYVILLE HORROR
remake. Dimension developed the "Scream" and "Halloween"
franchises, and has made fortunes with both. According to the press release,
the film should be released early next summer.
At this point, Family Room
will be along for the ride. The company will have a windfall from the handing
off of the project a major studio. There will be some kind of front end
fee, and profit participation down the road.
Conclusion- not much risk and lots
of upside potential from these levels. It seems to be a matter of when,
not if.
Here is the complete text of today's
news release for your review:

Family Room
Emmett/Furla joined
by Dimension/Miramax in a new Horror Pic from Infamous Amityville
Monday November 3, 5:58
pm ET
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3,
2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Emmett/Furla Films, a wholly owned subsidiary of Family
Room Entertainment Corporation (OTC BB:FMLY.OB - News), is pleased to announce
that the Miramax Films subsidiary Dimension Films has acquired all rights
from Barstu Productions, Integrated Films and Management, Emmett/Furla
Films and Distributor Nu Image Films to create, produce and distribute
a feature film which will be a modern horror story set in the infamous
town of Amityville.
In a release from Dimension
Films on October 30, 2003, the studio stated: ``Dimension Films, the studio
that brought you the 'Scream' & 'Halloween' franchises has acquired
the rights to George Lutz's life and events, it was announced today by
Dimension Films Co-Chairman Bob Weinstein (sic). Dimension's film will
focus on events outside of the scope of the original book and film. Dimension
acquired the rights from Nu Image. Avi Lerner, Trevor Short and John Thompson
negotiated on behalf of Nu Image. The rights to Lutz's story were assembled
by Paul Mason, Steve Whitney, Randall Emmett, George Furla and Dan Farrands
who, together with George Lutz, assigned the rights to Nu Image for the
development of a motion picture.''
Bob Weinstein added an
article in Daily Variety (October 31, 2003): ``We've come up with our own
take on the (Amityville) story, and I'm sure that (the MGM) remake can
be a success. I know one thing: We're very good at coming out first.''
Co-chairmen Randall Emmett
and George Furla added: ``We are excited to be in business with Dimension
Films and we believe 'Amityville'' has the potential, subject, of course,
to box office performance, to have a meaningful impact on Family Room Entertainment's
balance sheet.``
Family Room Entertainment
Corporation, with its subsidiaries, Emmett Furla Films Productions, Emmett
Furla Films Distribution and EFF Independent, is a publicly held company
trading on the NASDAQ Bulletin Board under the symbol ``FMLY''. Family
Room Entertainment develops, produces and performs production related services
for the entertainment industry. Family Room Entertainment's aim is to create
and produce high quality motion pictures with high profile talent that
can be distributed to a worldwide audience. FMLY derives its income from
producer fees, consulting and service fees as well as its participation
in the profits of the various pictures it produces.
The FMLY co-founders,
Randall Emmett and George Furla, believe that they have the expertise and
contacts within the entertainment industry, specifically in the competitive
production and distribution arenas, to profitably acquire content, package
product by adding value to the content with top quality talent and produce
motion pictures which are in the moderate to higher level budgets, which
can be distributed to a mass worldwide audience. However, there is no assurance
that any motion picture, which has not yet been released, will be released,
that a change in the scheduled release dates of any such films will not
occur or, if such motion picture is released, it will be successful.
