The $20 million figure is not based on nothing there's a lot of public information about how much Braff made from scrubs (e.g. $350k per episode in the 2007-2008 season.)
The fact is he doesn't need this Kickstarter to make this movie, he COULD do it himself. But he doesn't want to risk ONLY his own money. So he's taking advantage of the public.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoRight, the season that was 11 episodes? At best that accounts for about $2 million after taxes, assuming his agent takes nothing and without taking into account any expenses. Where's the rest? Scrubs may be a popular show among a certain cohort, it may be highly acclaimed, and it may be quite popular in syndication, but people tend to forget that while it was running it had mediocre ratings and it was effectively cancelled twice. You have no clue how much money he has, your accusation that he's "taking advantage of the public" is just baseless libel.
- ebbv 14y agoThat's $2.5 million before taxes, agents, etc. for one season out of 9 and not including syndication money or the fact that his previous movie made $35 million box office plus DVD sales, etc. Give me a break with this horseshit. The dude obviously has many, many millions of dollars.
- jagermo 14y agoplus, I think you don't take the "getting the idea checked if it really could fly" part of a kickstarter campaign in account.
- ebbv 14y agoYou don't need to raise $2 million to focus test your movie idea. Come on, man.
