== Turnaround deals == If a film is in development but never receives the necessary production funds, another studio may execute a [[turnaround (filmmaking)|turnaround deal]] and successfully produce the film. For example, [[Columbia Pictures]] stopped production of ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'' (1982). [[Universal Pictures]] then picked up the film and made it a success. When a studio completely abandons a film project, the costs are written off as part of the studio's [[Overhead (business)|overhead]], thereby reducing taxable income.<ref>{{cite book|last1=McDonald|first1=Paul|last2=Wasko|first2=Janet|title=Hollywood Film Industry|publisher=Blackwell Publishing|location=Hoboken, New Jersey|language=en|date=December 13, 2007|page=54|isbn=978-1-4051-3388-3}}</ref>
