One of the hardest things about the film industry is that it likes to keep its methods and information as secreta nd exclusive as possible, and as a result, has a very hard time explaining to financial people how it makes money back or works as a business model. Projecting sales/revenue and investment returns is incredibly difficult and extremely unreliable, often to the point of being totally pointless.
Understanding how all the elements work is hard, so we produced a very quick overview that explains the business model behind film for those new to the medium. It’s the result of combining many different pieces of informatioin together in one place. Enjoy.
