Summary: Distributors went on a buying spree at this year’s Sundance Film Festival not only due to the quality of the movies, but also because of new-found revenue from VOD services. We give you a rundown of the titles that were acquired, how much was spent on them and whether there is any hope they will ever make that money back for distributors.<br> Speaking of money, musician Sly Stone could be $5 million richer after winning a court ruling last week against his former manager who he claims withheld royalties.<br> Singer Sam Smith, on the other hand, won’t be trying to cheat Tom Petty out of royalties for his song, “Stay With Me”. The artist agreed the song was similar to one of Petty’s past hits and added the legendary rocker to the writing credits.<br> Of course, we also cover the week’s top entertainment news stories including yet another Super Bowl television ratings record, when we can expect the next “Game of Thrones” book from author George R.R. Martin, and “Empire” is becoming a much needed hit series for Fox.<br> <br> ‘Sniper’ Gives Back Super Bowl Crown To Miley<br><br> <a title="'Sniper' Gives Back Super Bowl Crown To Miley" href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/02/02/american-sniper-super-bowl-record/22743585/" target="_blank">http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015/02/02/american-sniper-super-bowl-record/22743585/</a><br> Record-Breaking Bollywood Movie ‘PK’ Set for China Release<br><br> <a title="Record-Breaking Bollywood Movie 'PK' Set for China Release" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/record-breaking-bollywood-movie-pk-768527" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/record-breaking-bollywood-movie-pk-768527</a><br> Paramount Shifts ‘Mission: Impossible 5’ Release Date to Summer 2015<br><br> <a title="Paramount Shifts 'Mission: Impossible 5' Release Date to Summer 2015" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/paramount-shifts-mission-impossible-5-767313" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/paramount-shifts-mission-impossible-5-767313</a><br> New All-Female ‘Ghostbusters’ Cast Chosen<br><br> <a title="New All-Female 'Ghostbusters' Cast Chosen" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/new-all-female-ghostbusters-cast-767610" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/new-all-female-ghostbusters-cast-767610</a><br> ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’ Named Best Animated Feature at Annie Awards<br><br> <a title="'How to Train Your Dragon 2' Named Best Animated Feature at Annie Awards" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/how-train-your-dragon-2-768827" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/behind-screen/how-train-your-dragon-2-768827</a><br> Art Directors Guild Awards Go To ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel,’ ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ and ‘Birdman’<br><br> <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/art-directors-guild-awards-go-768854" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/art-directors-guild-awards-go-768854</a><br> Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard, Kristen Stewart Among France’s Cesar Awards Nominees<br><br> <a title="Juliette Binoche, Marion Cotillard, Kristen Stewart Among France's Cesar Awards Nominees" href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/frances-cesar-awards-nominations-announced-767682" target="_blank">http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/frances-cesar-awards-nominations-announced-767682</a><br> Sam Smith Forced To Pay Tom Petty Royalties For Song ‘Stay With Me’<br><br> <a title="Sam Smith Forced To Pay Tom Petty Royalties For Song 'Stay With Me'" href="http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizonsunday/6294030/Sam-Smith-settles-up-royalty-dispute-with-Tom-Petty-and-Jeff-Lynne.html" target="_blank">http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizonsunday/6294030/Sam-Smith-settles-up-royalty-dispute-with-Tom-Petty-and-Jeff-Lynne.html</a><br> Sly Stone Awarded $5 Million In Back Royalties, Damages<br><br>
