Members DaytimeFan Posted February 18, 2019 Members Share Posted February 18, 2019 If they go it alone I have no doubt they'll be in a better position than they are now, particularly given the steps Corday has taken, given what the lawsuit contains, to attempt to sell the show overseas by attending MipCom on his company's own accord, in addition to developing the DAYS app, and tours of various American and Canadian cities with DAYS cast members for person appearances. The Bells have done it for 32 years with B&B to much success. The heights of that kind of success are probably over, but it could extend DAYS' lifespan. What I found interesting is that NBC intervened directly to keep the show going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted February 19, 2019 Members Share Posted February 19, 2019 @DaytimeFan @Darn @Gray Bunny or anyone else, did you save that pdf? I tried the login information in the article and it didn't work for me. Maybe they caught on that it was public. I'd love it if someone could re-upload it somewhere else. Sounds fascinating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted February 20, 2019 Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 About the app, I saw this posted: Corday raised with Sony the possibility of creating different versions of the app for foreign territories in an effort to promote the show in existing foreign markets and to break into new markets such as Africa and Latin America. While Sony originally expressed openness to Corday developing an app for the Series, Sony repeatedly failed to respond to Corday's, NBC's, and third parties' inquiries regarding the app. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 20, 2019 Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 I really don't see many foreign markets interested In Days. It's dying in it's home territory and it would be near impossible to have new viewers be able to jump into the show , plus those barebone production values would hardly be appealing. Maybe some smaller networks might take it on at bargain basememt prices to fill up airtime...and foreign markets would require subtitling - is that cheap and easy to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted February 20, 2019 Members Share Posted February 20, 2019 DAYS already aires in many foreign markets, and Corday wants to get DAYS back to some markets it used to be in (England, France, etc). I guess new markets such as Africa and Latin America can be tricky. Subtitling is cheaper than dubbing which some countries do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members David_Vickers Posted April 11, 2019 Members Share Posted April 11, 2019 I think Corday has a great case. Anyone can compare DAYS to Y&R and see the HUUUGGE differences in sets, clothing, hair, plus the distribution deal. IF Sony gave as much money to DAYS as Y&R their sets, clothing and hair would be vastly improved. Plus DAYS could afford to take off 3 or 4 months off so they would NOT be so damned far ahead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members goldfries Posted April 26, 2019 Members Share Posted April 26, 2019 (edited) I've got a few of questions: 1) Does anyone know when this lawsuit is going to go before the jury? 2) What happens to Days renewal contract if Corday wins or Sony wins? If Corday wins and the agreement he has with Sony is termed, what happens to the renewal contract with NBC? Would that be null and void? and 3) What is the worse case scenario if Sony wins?
