Spielberg will still retain the rights to co-produce and develop certain movies with Paramount that are still owned by Paramount including the very popular TRANSFORMERS Live Action Movie Franchise.
Under the separation agreement announced Sunday, the new company, to be led by three-time Oscar winner Spielberg and Snider, will develop a number of projects now owned by Paramount, which would have an option to co-finance and co-distribute them.
DreamWorks counts "Transformers" and "Norbit" among its recent hits.

That's exactly what I was thinking...I thought anything with Eddie murphy in it anymore was automatically destined to bomb at the box office.

No, and the subject line "Steven Spielberg Splits!" is totally misleading. He's splitting from Paramount, but part of the deal is that he will continue to be Executive Producer on the TF films.

can't believe Norbit was classed together along with The Transformers. Norbit was an awful, almost unwatchable movie.

It's not misleading, he has split from Paramount, except on a few shared properties, which I believe was stated in the article.
I no way did I say he split from being the TRANSFORMERS producer, in fact, my goal was to show that despite him leaving Paramount, he was still going to be a part of TRANSFORMERS.

Dreamworks should be able to cover everything: Production, post-production and on down to distribution. Spielberg and Lucas are the 2 most powerful men in the industry so anybody worried about the effects of the split on TF2 or TF3 really shouldnt worry. If either of those men has a project or series of projects in the works, nobody else really has the stones to interfere or have a drastic effect on it. If Spielberg were at all concerned he wouldn't have done it right in the middle of TF2.

Norbit scored well outside America because we don't hate black people as much as your average american does, it's not rocket science. (Not sayin' racism ain't a issue here, we're just mostly pissed off at other ethnic minorities.)
Either way, i do agree Norbit still doesnt compare to TF's success.

Wow, see, I never would have associated people thinking Norbit being a hit a surprise with racism...I'd associate it more with the fact that it looked like an absolutely mind numbing piece of crap.
