Bloomberg: No Time Like Present For Jobs Heirs To Sell Apple, Disney Stock

Laurene Powell Jobs might never find a better time to sell her late husband Steve’s$6.78 billion stake in Apple andWalt Disney Co., according to wealth management experts who talked to Bloomberg News. Jobs’ heirs could sell all their shares now and avoid $867 million in capital gains taxes. If Steve Jobs left everything to his wife, the family wouldn’t be liable for the 35% estate tax until she dies or gives money to others.I cant see any reason not to sell all of it, saidKacy Gott ofwealth-management firm Aspiriant. Another reason advisers said Jobs’heirs should sell some stock to reduce the estates risks is thatthe capital gains tax is set to rise to 20% percent in 2013 from 15%. High-income Americans will also be subject to a 3.8% levy on unearned gains. From an investment standpoint, all the advisers who spoke to Bloomberg said Jobs’ holdings should be more diversified — even though Disney and particularly Apple stock have performed better than Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway by comparison over corresponding time frames. Jobs owned 138 million Disney shares, valued Monday at $4.74 billion, and 5.55 million Apple shares worth $2.05 billion, according to filings. Jobs also moved his holdings into trusts as his health worsened. Trusts let people distribute wealth over time and avoid probate fees. If Jobs had sold all his Disney and Apple shares the day before he died, he would have registered a gain of about $5.78 billion and a tax bill of $867 million. Thats based on his investment of $55 million in Pixar Studios, now part of Disney, and Apple shares granted in March 2003. Disney stock would be more complicated to sell on the open market because the Jobs stakerepresents almost 12 times the average number of Disney shares traded each day. The Apple holdings amount to less than a third of the 17.6 million shares traded on a daily basis, making an open market sale much simpler. Jobs died on Oct. 5 at age 56 from complications of pancreatic cancer. His will hasnt been made public. Jobs is survived by his wife and four children, Lisa, Eve, Erin and Reed. Three people who know Powell Jobs, who has a masters degree in business administration from Stanford University, dont think she is interested in taking her husbands seats on the Apple or Disney boards. Her intentions may not matter if a bank is managing the investments because, as one adviser pointed out, “A bank would be duty-bound to diversify the holdings.

Mexico moves up digital switchover to 2015

MEXICO CITY -- Mexico is moving up its terrestrial analog-to-digital switchover date, from 2021 to 2015, after a vote Tuesday in Mexico's Supreme Court failed to derail the initiative. President Felipe Calderon first issued the decree to move the switchover date during his annual national address, akin to the U.S. State of the Union address, on Sept. 2, 2010, but the idea met a wall of political and legal obstacles. The president and other advocates are promoting the move as a way to level the over-the-air playing field dominated by Mexico's top two broadcasters, Televisa and Azteca, who control 95% of the market share. The decree also stated that digital converter boxes would be imported and sold at a "fair" price to aid the switchover. The response was largely negative among lawmakers. The Senate declared it unconstitutional, kicking the ruling up to the high court, citing that only the Federal Telecommunications Commission (Cofetel) could make such a decision. However, there have been widespread accusations that Cofetel is heavily influenced by Televisa and Azteca, who face real competition stemming from certain aspects of the new technology, particularly digital multiplexing, which could vastly expand the number of over-the-air channels. On Monday, the high court categorized the decree as an executive rule that requires eight of 12 judges to vote against it for the court to invalidate it. But only seven judges voted against it on Tuesday. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Father's Day

A Troma Team release of a Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz presentation of a Troma Team and Astron-6 production. (International sales: Troma Team, NY.) Produced by Kaufman, Herz. Executive producers, Matt Manjourides, Adam Brooks. Directed, written by Astron-6.With: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Mackenzie Murdock, Meredith Sweeney, Brent Neale, Garrett Hnatiuk, Kevin Anderson, Billy Sadoo, Falcon Van Der Baek, Zsuzsi.Winnipeg collective Astron-6's first feature, "Father's Day," is a gleefully tasteless quasi-grindhouse nasty that's funnier than most of the many such parodic cheesefests that have been created since, well, "Grindhouse." Though the result is inevitably hit-and-miss, its attention to retro cliches and stylistic details, as well as a pretty good laughs-to-groaners ratio, will delight jaded genre fans -- several of whom voted it best feature at Toronto After Dark last month. More horror fests and midnight slots are sure to follow; Troma plans a January theatrical launch, though principal exposure is likely to skew toward download and DVD. Resurfacing of the fabled, elusive Father's Day Killer -- a longtime serial rapist/murderer/cannibal consumer of dads -- unites several whose families have been victimized, notably strong silent type Ahab (Adam Brooks), street hustler Twink (Conor Sweeney) and priest Father John (Matthew Kennedy). The B-grade action cliches pile up as the three set out to hunt down the monster, whose current fat-slob form turns out to be just the latest human disguise for a demon whom the protags literally pursue to Hell. En route, we get deliberate continuity errors, imperiled male members, godawful or incongruous soundtrack music, a hallucination sequence and a million filmic in-jokes. Pic has its roots in a fake trailer (Astron-6 has made numerous shorts in a similar vein) which Troma subsequently commissioned as a $10,000 feature. Resulting homage to '70s drive-in fare and '80s direct-to-vid trash comes complete with a station break during which we get another amusing fake trailer (for bottom-rung "Star Wars" ripoff "Star Raiders"). The script's amusing arbitrariness and the leads' comic chops -- all actors are members of the highly multitasking Astron-6 quintet (yes, there's just five) -- more than compensate for jokes that eschew a sometimes inspired absurdism for routine scatological humor. Fast pace, colorful location choices and design contributions belie the film's tiny budget while reproducing the aesthetic of early VCR-era rental gems that seldom cost a whole lot more.Camera (color, HD), Adam Brooks; editor, Brooks; music, Jeremy Gillespie, Paul Joyce, Brian Wiacek; production designer/costume designer, Steven Kostanski; art directors, Kostanski, Gillespie; set decorators, Kostanski, Brooks, Gillespie; costume designer, Kostanski, Brooks; sound, Gillespie; makeup effects, Kostanski, Brooks; digital effects, Gillespie, Kostanski, Ben Pickles, Brooks, Alex McLellan, Jon'Nathon Stebbe; casting, Brooks.

Cinemark Holdings Posts Record Quarterly Revenue Amid Strong U.S. Box Office

The company posted a quarterly profit of $47.6 million, compared to a year-ago profit of $33.9 million. Net income attributable to Cinemark shareholders rose 41 percent to $46.9 million. Revenue rose 14.2 percent to $640 million as admissions revenue increased 13.5 percent to $417.1 million and concession revenue jumped 14.5% to $194.8 million. The growth was driven by a 5.6 percent increase in attendance, a 7.3 percent rise in average ticket price and an 8.5 percent gain in concession revenue per patron. "Cinemark achieved all-time record quarterly performance for the 2011 third quarter," said Cinemark CEO Alan Stock.

We are proud to have again extended Cinemark's box office outperformance streak, as Cinemark's domestic quarterly box office has now exceeded North American industry box office for twelve consecutive quarters and our international segment admissions revenue again outpaced our industry-leading domestic operations for the thirteenth consecutive quarter on a constant dollar basis." Wall Street observers gave the earnings report a thumbs-up. Lazard Capital Markets analyst Barton Crockett wrote that "Cinemark continued its multi-quarter streak of big outperformance." And MKM Partners analyst Eric Handler said: "We expect the shares of Cinemark to react positively to another quarter of better-than-expected results." Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter had upgraded his rating on Cinemark ahead of the earnings report from "neutral" to "outperform," arguing that "valuation is now attractive relative to [the company's] peer group."

AFM: Focus Features Intl. Shops Ruairi Robinson-Directed Last Days On Mars

LONDON (November 1, 2011) Academy Award nominated Ruairi Robinson (Fifty Percent Grey, Blinky) is set to direct his first feature film, the highly anticipated thriller The Last Days On Mars based on a script by acclaimed screenwriter Clive Dawson, with design talents including the extraordinary team at WETA (District 9, X-Men First Class and Avatar) behind the special effects. Qwerty Films Michael Kuhn (The Duchess, Being John Malkovich) and Andrea Cornwell (The Scouting Book for Boys) will produce the film, with Focus Features International handling international sales and distribution. FFI will commence sales at the American Film Market in November. The Last Days On Mars is currently in pre-production and is expected to start shooting early 2012 on location in Jordan and at Shepperton Studios in the UK. As their last day on Mars draws to a close, the astronaut crew is on the verge of a major breakthrough – collected rock specimens reveal microscopic evidence of life. Meanwhile, communication is underway with AURORA, the approaching spacecraft that will relieve the crew of their operations. In their last hours on the planet, two astronauts go back to SITE 9, a cavernous valley on the surface of Mars, to collect further evidence of their discovery. But a routine excavation turns deadly when one of them falls to his death and his body taken host and re-animated by the very life form they sought to discover. Michael Kuhn said, I have loved making sci-fi films since I made Pitch Black and for The Last Days On Mars we have assembled a great team to do justice to a wonderful and commercial script. Focus Features International Co-President Alison Thompson commented, We are looking forward to working with exciting new filmmaker Ruairi Robinson who has already showcased his talent with a number of short films, and we are also thrilled to be involved in a project together with renowned producer Michael Kuhn who will help guide Ruairis vision for the film.
