Depreciation [expense] from scuttled movie project(s)
消却 refers to depreciation (減価償却) of capitalized project costs. The 消却損 is the depreciation expense that appears on the income statement (as opposed to the capitalized depreciation on the balance sheet).
The first part is almost surely referring to a "scuttled movie project master plan."
Put them together and you get "Depreciation expense from scuttled movie project(s)." If the translation is on an income statement, the word "expense" becomes redundant and can be eliminated.

That last sentence was phrased poorly. Put the other way around, on the balance sheet, you would write "depreciation expense," to denote the amount of reduction to the "accumulated depreciation" for that reporting period.
