Fans can relax: Watchmen will hit theaters March 6 as planned now that Fox and Warner Bros. have settled their rights dispute. Here's Variety's story, THR's and Nikki Finke with some of the details of the deal.Details include a cash payment from WB to Fox and the latter having gross participation in the film. But Fox won't distribute the film, nor will its logo appear on it.
Frankly, this really was the only possible outcome, and all the drama can be forgotten.
The only thing that's even a little worrisome is that Fox got as part of the deal a stake in any spinoffs or sequels — neither of which I think any fan of the book really wants to see.
