Very cool. I know the film did well but it must have been a disappointment considering they were selling it as the successor to Total Recall and Terminator 2. Granted, Arnold was a bigger star and the budgets on both of those films dwarfed Unisol.

[Jox]

If they really targeted the TOTAL RECALL and T2 kind of success they would have put at least twice or three times as much money into it. It's just that UNISOL was kind of in the same vein (and also coming from Carolco/TriStar) and for the same audience so TR and T2 were obvious marketing selling points.

Carolco Pictures Pins Hopes for Rescue on Its 'Universal Soldier'
July 10, 1992|DAVID WILLMAN and ALAN CITRON, TIMES STAFF WRITERS
For struggling Carolco Pictures, this may be Judgment Weekend.

The once highflying company that made the hit "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" is scrambling to avert bankruptcy and hoping that its latest violence-steeped fantasy, opening in theaters today, will help save it.

"My own opinion is that if (the new film, "Universal Soldier") doesn't open enormously this weekend, the equity investors will say, 'Enough of this,' " said one industry observer, expressing a widely held view.

For the moment, Carolco executives are trying to persuade those investors to come up with enough cash to keep the Los Angeles-based company afloat, according to people familiar with Carolco. Those entreaties come as the company's operations shrink, and as lawyers for writers, directors and technicians threaten to plunge Carolco into involuntary bankruptcy proceedings unless it makes millions of dollars of long-delayed payments.

"The guilds are threatening," confirmed one Carolco official, speaking on a condition of anonymity. "They've become very aggressive, almost hostile."

At a Carolco board meeting last Friday, directors of the publicly traded company received a briefing from Allen & Co., the New York investment banking firm hired as an adviser in June. According to one person privy to the meeting, Allen & Co. told the board that Carolco could not survive without a substantial cash infusion from its foreign investors.

The investors, called "strategic partners" by Carolco, are Le Studio Canal Plus of France; Pioneer Electronics Corp. of Japan, and RCS Video, an affiliate of Italy's Rizzoli Corriere della Sera Group. Industry participants speculate that Carolco needs $25 million or more in the short term.

As an apparent defensive measure, Carolco has retained the Century City law firm of Levene & Eisenberg, one of Los Angeles' leading bankruptcy specialists. David Reno, a spokesman for Carolco, confirmed that Levene & Eisenberg had been hired, replacing other bankruptcy counsel that had been retained since last November.

All of which underscores the significance of this weekend's opening of "Universal Soldier." Carolco hopes that the film will show that the company is still capable of producing a box-office hit.

And if it flops?

"When do the strategic partners stop buying equity and say this equity is going to be worth zero if the company doesn't make it?" asked Steven E. Hill, a securities analyst who watches Carolco for Sutro & Co. "A lot is riding on 'Universal Soldier.' "

Those were the days...

When I saw the Carolco or Orion logo I knew I was going to get a great movie. Who would ever forget the fantastic credits of Total Recall? That music? Ah...
