This 2004 feature film was based on the children’s book of the same name, by Chris Van Allsburg. The actual book can be read in about 5 minutes, but the film was 90 minutes long. The film enjoyed modest box office success, but the results for the film’s 3D Imax version were incredible. Financially, the 3D version outperformed the 2D version by 14 to 1! There are now plans to release the movie in its Imax format every year during the holiday season, so expect even higher revenue for the film in the future.
Sports contracts over the years have gotten so extreme that they make even wealthy people envious. It wasn’t always like this, this era of contracts started in the late 80’s with Kirby Puckett being the first player to receive a $3 million dollar contract in 1989 according to the Sporting News. That might not seem like a lot, but for MLB, it was a great deal at that time. And it did not stop there. That was just what opened the flood gates.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the 25 biggest and most expensive sports contracts ever signed (in descending order).
1 – Jason Giambi – New York Yankees – Baseball – $120,000,000
These days, Jason Giambi seems more of a DH than a power hitting first baseman. That said, he was once the power hitting first baseman for the Oakland Athletics, but when Mark McQuire was traded in 1997, Jason became the first baseman.
In 2003, Giambi was named in the Balco investigation, blemishing his otherwise promising career. Since then, he apologized to the organization as well as the fans and promised to return to his previous form.
