Another great piece of content man. What sets this channel apart is you are giving tangible steps for people to take which most people don’t even try to do.

These are the kind of videos I like. No extended coffee making sequences, no onewheel boarding, no whacky goofing around, no guff - just great relevant info. You deserve a lot more subscriptions. Keep up the great work.

Trying to navigate selling a current film on my hard drives and get funding for the next. This side of the industry is tough!

Theatrical is dead for indie filmmakers. Has been for a while. At the most I would 4 wall a few screenings, have a launch party or two, find a way to get eyeballs to an online platform, absolutely do not sell the rights to your movie. Keep the budgets low, keep the rights in house.

Awesome video! I had many questions on how box office revenues were shared and where the real profit was, and this video answered everything. Thank you!

Another great piece of education and information. Thanks for the share Will!

No disrespect, but the studios that are making $100 million movies often own the distribution company as a separate subsidiary, the theater gets a minority percentage of the box office during the first few weeks of release, their share increases of course gradually but starting out, the blockbuster box office goes mostly to the studio during opening. Giving up 50% of box office to the theaters out the gate and giving up another 25% to a distributor is more so how the money would be divided if the movie was from a much smaller independent studio that doesn’t have the kind of leverage that the big studios making $100 million movies have

Thanks man ❤. Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬

Imagine spending only one hour with you! Thank you so much for sharing this enlightening video🙏

Great content, keep it coming

Wow...this was indeed very helpful. I always wanted to know how movies make money...I think independent film making is now quite risky unless the director has some kind of clout..they can make films in low budget and then gain high profits if the film is well received...the horror films are looked down but most of them make huge profits for jason blum.

I thoroughly enjoyed this video 🙌🏾💥

Appreciate this Info!

Love your channel man!

3:20 Today the hollywood and the producers are in total different business, today the business is all creating rights and properties that can be licensed for TV, Streaming, Video Games, T-shirts , merchandise whatever add box office to that and thats how studios make money

Only thing I don’t agree on is going with the distributor. Of course it depends on the distributor. If you do a video on how you can make money from the distributor then it will give a nice birds eye view on the options or limited options that a filmmaker has when making money. I would bet everyone will look for other options unfortunately, there isn’t many.

Great video man

nice Video first time hearing thanks

Ty

yeah...Spiderman No way home just broke all the box office records. Cinemas ain't closing anytime soon.

thank you so much

Between domestic tax credits foreign tax credits, domestic release numbers, international release numbers, marketing costs, distribution costs, exhibition splits, projected targets, production costs, taxation, other fees, plus internal profit splits, movies like Endgame, Avatar 2, Mario, Barbie, Oppenheimer, Sound of Freedom, etc., should be studied and taught in AME finance, business, marketing, and production classes.

Thanks so much

I still don't understand, what's the best way to support work of, for example, James Cameron, do I buy cinema ticket or an Blueray copy? Wha if I live in europe but movie, like Avatar 2, Is made in the US, who gets the money? How does it work? I think making this information for general public would be of great benifit to stop piracy.

Film production will soon be like music production...

Really?! That is not fair. The theater should only get 1 M out of that and the distribution company should only get just a couple of hundred thousands and the rest should get back to the film industry.

The point is of a cinema to go and watch a film on a BIG screen

Thanks for the explanation, really helps understanding the cash flow of the movie industry! God bless you bro and know that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, has given His life for your sake. Because of His great and deep love for you personally, God Himself became a man to pay for humanity's debt by dying in our place on the cross, and that man is Jesus Christ. God's love cannot and will not go against His own righteousness, so as Judge and Owner of His creation, our debt of sin had to be paid for, but only He could pay it because only He is righteous. And He didnt have to pay for our debt of sin but He chose to for our benefit. Yet we rejoice because our God is alive and well because He ressurected from the cross and conquered death so we could have eternal life, so just as Himself, those who believe will die but we will live again forever more in peace and joy in heaven. For the eternal God has paid for our eternal debt in hell by dying on the cross so we could have eternal life with Him in Heaven (John 17:3). Repent ( turn ) from your sins and turn to Jesus and He will surely forgive you. Follow Jesus for He is a GREAT Savior and Comforter in good and bad times (read the book of John in the Bible to know Him, it is Jesus' life History, He is the Word of God in the flesh, He is God Himself in the flesh). And we do not use His grace and forgiveness as an excuse to sin, even though we are not perfect, but I desire to devote every ounce of my being to following Jesus, the One who loves me and forgives me. When I sin I am deeply grieved, I lament and repent, turning back to Him, and He righteously forgives me because He has paid for my sin. We do not serve Him to earn His love, we serve Him because He loved us first (1 John 4:18-19). When He came the first time as a man He came as a lamb to be slain in our place, but Jesus is coming back as conquering King, the Lion of Judah 🙏 1 John 1:8-9 KJV - If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Romans 6:23 KJV - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
