The Weinstein Co.

On April 3rd, Kanbar Animation (creators of Hoodwinked) sued The Weinstein Co for breach of contract in failing to release the sequel, Hoodwinked 2. Why has Hoodwinked 2 not yet been released? Why is the film completed, and yet no images or trailers have been released? I don't know, but the Weinsteins are certainly in trouble. Here's a list of there films, and whether they bombed, flopped, succeeded, or were a break-out hit. This has been determined by myself, based on knowledge I've gathered, I don't know the actual profit numbers.

Bomb=No way it made money, even with DVD
Flop=Probably lost money, but might have made some on DVD
Success=Made a little money, and probably a lot more on DVD
Hit=Made a large amount of money, before DVD is even figured.

Derailed (2005)-Success
The Libertine (2005)-Flop
Transamerica (2005)-Success
Hoodwinked (2005, Premiere, 2006 Release)-Hit
Mrs Henderson Presents (2005)-Success
The Matador (2005)-Flop
