PDL BioPharma (NASDAQ: PDLI ) did much better with the spin out of its development stage program into Facet Biotech. The biotech started trading at $13�per share, and was eventually taken out by Abbott for $27. The main assets now reside in Abbott's aforementioned spinout AbbVie in conjunction with Biogen Idec, which was developing the drugs with PDL. If the drugs are successful, maybe the duo will spin them out into a joint venture, completing the cycle?

The new extended contract actually has its genesis in Hasbro's licensing agreement with Lucasfilm, the owner of the Star Wars franchise that Disney also acquired last year for $4 billion. Hasbro has licensing rights to the characters and the cartoons that appear on its Hub television network are a perennial revenue enhancer. The TV channel is still a small portion of Hasbro's overall revenue picture, and won't challenge anytime soon Disney's own TV work or that of Viacom's (NASDAQ: VIAB ) Nickelodeon, but it is gaining critical acclaim if not more revenues.�

2. Chris Pine's Jack Ryan won't resonate with moviegoers, killing what was once a golden franchise. I can't be the only one who grew up reading Tom Clancy novels. In those stories, Jack Ryan wasn't a James Bond clone but rather a CIA analyst forced to confront uncomfortable circumstances. No longer. In Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, director Kenneth Branagh teases the character as an analyst before unveiling an explosive story wherein Chris Pine's Ryan "isn't an analyst anymore." Viacom's (NASDAQ: VIAB ) Paramount Pictures will distribute the thriller, which hits U.S. theaters on Jan. 17. The studio's last try at cashing in on the late author's work -- 2002's The Sum of All Fears -- earned a solid $193.9 million worldwide on a $68 million production budget.
