Investment in Productions and Investments in Acquired Content Rights | Investments in Productions and Investments in Acquired Content RightsInvestments in productions and investments in acquired content rights are predominantly monetized on a title-by-title basis and are recorded within other assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, to the extent they are considered recoverable against future revenues. These amounts are being amortized to program cost amortization using a model that reflects the consumption of the asset as it is released through various channels including broadcast licenses, theatrical release and home entertainment. Amounts capitalized are reviewed periodically on an individual title basis and any portion of the unamortized amount that appears not to be recoverable from future net revenues is expensed as part of program cost amortization during the period the loss becomes evident. The Company's unamortized investments in productions and investments in acquired content rights consisted of the following at October 1, 2023, September 25, 2022, and December 25, 2022:
