Let's see...
Production Companies:
Paramount Pictures (presents)
Mallick Media (presents)
Oxymoron Entertainment
Middle Pictures
Between the five of them - 305+ films in the past ten years.
I am just throwing shit out there...who's funding who?
Paramount is a HUGH company...don't you think they would find the bucks?

As I understand it from something posted here (if it was correct), Paramount only agreed to distribute Middle Men for a fee. That would mean they didn't have their own money tied up in it, but rather charged Mallick Media/Oxymoron in order to distribute it.
Either way, Mallick's skin was in the game ... you do not get executive producer credits unless you have skin in.
The big question is whose money made the film?
I never subscribed to the conspiracy theory that Mallick stole the money. However, you only start a bank to
lend money so I find it highly suspect that Mallick is now tied to an overseas bank.
This thread changed it all for me. This isn't a conspiracy theory ... this kind of stuff happens every day.
