Based on management’s total gross revenue estimates as of October 3, 2015, approximately 81% of unamortized film and television costs for released productions (excluding amounts allocated to acquired film and television libraries) are expected to be amortized during the next three years. Approximately $0.9 billion of accrued participation and residual liabilities will be paid in fiscal year 2016. The Company expects to amortize, based on current estimates, approximately $1.1 billion in capitalized film and television production costs during fiscal 2016.
At October 3, 2015, acquired film and television libraries have remaining unamortized costs of $171 million, which are generally amortized straight-line over a weighted-average remaining period of approximately 11 years
