1 DRAFT 1 Privileged and Confidential 3D UPLIFT

2 22 Assuming 60-80% of box office from 3D and reasonable level of performance: Box office increases 21-27% based on higher ticket price *, before accounting for potential audience growth Studio theatrical revenue (net of glasses cost) is increased 13-17% ** The net revenue uplift is generally greater than the $5-12M increase in production cost to shoot/convert the film to 3D Motion Pictures Potential Gains from 3D Releases Domestic Box Office of Recent 3D Releases *Assumes long-term avg. ticket price premium of $2.50 (today’s average is $3.50). Excludes IMAX 3D, which has greater ticket price premiums. ** Assumes 50% studio share of global box office and $0.40-$0.55 per ticket cost of glasses. Recent 3D releases have seen significant share of box office from 3D ticket sales, driving higher revenue DBO (to date) $113M $115M $721M Potential Uplift from 3D Release 63% 70% 82% 37% 30% 18% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Alice in Wonderland Avatar 3D Box Office 2D Box Office

3 DRAFT page 3 U.S. MODEL TODAY  MPAA average 2D ticket price is $7.50 (2009)  Average increase for 3D  $3.50 today  $2.50 is forecast (premium expected to decrease)  Average Imax ticket is $14.58 (2009) (about $7 above average 2D ticket)  Of the average $3.50 uplift today, the studio gets its normal share (roughly 50%) but pays roughly $0.40-$0.55 for glasses  Note, the glasses are recycled which brings costs to studio down slightly  Full manufacturing cost of glasses ranges from $0.50-$0.75  Exhibitors pay the difference (if any) between the amount paid by the studio and the manufacturer’s charge for glasses, as well as an additional $0.50 per admission for use of the RealD equipment. NOTE THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM JAPAN, WHERE GLASSES COST MORE  There are currently about 1,600 Digital 3D screen in Asia, about 350 in Japan  Until recently, the Asian 3D market was controlled by XpanD (90% share); they require special glasses - Active Polarized - that cost $50.00 to $75.00 each, are battery operated, and reused regularly  This past year, prior to the release of AVATAR, RealD expanded rapidly through Asia (mostly China), and by the release of AVATAR, they had a 40% share of the market. 3D UPLIFT CONSIDERATIONS

4 DRAFT page 4 Incremental Cost to Shoot in (or upconvert to) 3D is usually $5MM to $12MM  Resident Evil: Afterlife: $10M on a total budget of $58M (this film was shot in 3D)  $5.5M production cost (3D package and complexity of shots)  $2.5M post production (editing, DI costs)  $2.0M visual effects (total fx budget of $10M)  Priest: about $5M (this film is being converted to 3D during post before the fx are done, similar to ALICE) Cost to Shoot a Film in 3D
