電影財經新聞翻譯有一些問題~~20點!!(再續)

Question

How well can you judge a movie's success by the performance of its parent company's stock? It depends on the studio. Large media companies like Sony and [Fox Studios parent] News Corp. (NWS) have many other assets to mitigate the risk of a big-budget movie, but for a company like DreamWorks, the stock is a good indicator of how well movies like Shrek 3 are doing in theaters.
藉由電影公司的股價表現來判斷電影的成功與否可以到什麼程度呢?
(這句我一直不知道中文化要怎麼翻，大概了解就是你能夠用電影公司股價來判斷
電影成功與否的能力有多厲害? 大概是這樣的意思吧，但想不出中文該怎麼說)

那得看電影公司而定，大型媒體公司如SONY和新聞集團(NWS)(即福斯電影母公司)還有其他
方面的資產可以降低大成本電影的風險，如果是夢工廠，它的股價就可以看出「史瑞克3」
的表現如何。

How much stake does private equity have in this year's battle of summer
blockbusters?
A lot of the studios are trying to hedge risk with outside investors.
But this downside risk hedging isn't necessarily with franchises—
it's more in lesser films that we're seeing this trend. Most of these
blockbusters we're talking about, there's a very big profit potential,
and write-off isn't an issue for them. When you factor in DVD sales,
they can generate more than $500 million.
私募基金在夏日鉅片的戰爭中有多少風險呢?
許多電影公司和外部投資者都不斷試著要去避開風險，但經銷商卻不用避開下部風險，
因為it's more in lesser films that we're seeing this trend.
大部份我們在說的鉅片都有帶來巨額利潤的潛力，不太可能賠錢，尤其再加入DVD販售這塊
，這些電影都能賺超過5億美元。
(這段主要是不能夠了解it's more in lesser films that we're seeing
this trend這句話的意思，感覺好像是在說分析師看到這些越來越多強片不用去避開
這種風險?(亂猜XD)，另外，write-off查字典有幾個意思，呆帳、貶值、報廢的東西，
我覺得這裡要說的好像是這些有潛力的電影，賠錢這種事跟它們是八干子打不著的，
不知我的理解是否正確?)

我在想it's more in lesser films that we're seeing this trend會不會是「不過非強檔片的風險變高卻是趨勢」的意思呢?

私人投資的電影在夏日熱潮中所承受風險為何？
很多製片廠的風險將其分攤給外部投資人。
但此種經銷權也有不適用之處，可以從很多小型製片廠看到此趨勢。
然而大部份製片廠在此熱潮中可享受豐富的厚利，當你體認到在 DVD市場將可獲利5億元時，也就不考慮影片發行後的損失了。
