During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company performed fair value measurements related to films having indicators of impairment. In determining the fair value of its films, the Company employs a discounted cash flows ("DCF") methodology that includes cash flow estimates of a film’s ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate. The discount rate utilized in the DCF analysis is based on the Company’s weighted average cost of capital plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular film. As the primary determination of fair value is determined using a DCF model, the resulting fair value is considered a Level 3 measurement (see Note 8). During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $24.2 million and $26.8 million, respectively, of fair value film write-downs (2016 - $2.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively).
