On the one hand, this is a big issue. On the other hand whoever gets a hold of Kodak's film business, even if it's a management buyout, is unlikely to close it down entirely because it's making bales of cash--the declining fortunes cited refer to the increasingly smaller size of the bales of cash, not a transition from profitability to unprofitability. And presumably whoever gets a hold of it will not casually destroy it as Mr. Perez seems determined to do. If this happens, I can't say for sure what will happen to the film business, and it would probably be very rocky. But I would give whatever's left of Kodak a decade at the outside.
