UPDATED – “Watchmen” Lawsuit: Fox Prevails!
NYT: Judge Says Fox Owns Rights to WB-produced ‘Watchmen’.
I’m not familiar with any of the evidence or the judge’s rationale in the case, but I had the feeling this would happen. Call it a hunch.
Fox insists once insisted that they would rather see the movie get shelved than become a profit participant in the film. I hope that’s just bluffing to prime WB for a very advantageous settlement. We’ll see.

UPDATE – Hmm: at the WSJ, WB says the film will still open as planned on March 6, 2009 (subscription required). Just talk or does that mean Fox and WB are about to settle?
