For the record - Jan. 20, 2011
Golden Globes: A critic’s notebook on the Golden Globes in the Jan. 18 Calendar, about how passion and quality can pay off in the movie business, described “Barney’s Version” as “a $3-million adaptation of Mordecai Richler’s acerbic novel and largely backed by Canadian interests.” In fact, the budget was $30 million.
Sundance Film Festival: An article in the Jan. 19 Calendar about making deals at the Sundance Film Festival misquoted Hal Sadoff, a sales agent at International Creative Management, regarding video on demand. His quote should have been “VOD will play a major role in the independent film business going forward, but we’re just starting to see significant revenue being generated from this new platform.”
NYPD: In the Jan. 19 Section A, an article about the New York Police Department incorrectly said that the nonprofit Police Foundation raises $100 million a year to support NYPD programs. The foundation has raised $100 million since its inception in 1971.
