FAQ
Why don't more filmmakers use crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo?
Crowdfunding is a great way to connect with potential investors.
Many filmmakers aren't qualified to ask money. They believe they need another person to verify their claims.
Even though they aren't yet proven to be themselves, they don't believe that anyone should put money into them.
Instead, they spend months focusing on their project and hoping that someone will notice.
Then, when they launch the campaign, they realize how poorly prepared they were.
They end up with only a few donations, instead of thousands of dollars.
Why is it called Hollywood?
D.W. Griffith established the first film industry in California, 1887. It was named after Los Angeles, at the time known as Hollywood.
Because it was so exciting to visit, the name stuck. People would come from all over just to see what was happening there.
Hollywood is still a big part of our culture. Movies, television shows and music videos are all part of our culture. We call them all "Hollywood."
Does Hollywood make more money from foreign sales than domestic sales?
Yes, but it is only slightly. In 2017, foreign revenues accounted for about 17% of total revenue. Domestic revenues made up 83%.
In fact, overseas markets account for over half of the world's population.
This means that many people, even those who don't watch movies at home, will still want to see yours.
What percentage of the box office goes to marketing budgets?
Marketing budgets typically account for between 20% and 40% of a film’s budget. This is because marketing is very important to the success of any film.
No one will know about your film if you don't do good marketing. If people don't know anything about your film they won't pay to see it.
How much does Hollywood make a year?
A movie takes around $100 million to create. So if you made ten movies a year for a decade, you'd have enough money to buy a small country.
A private island with an airport and power plant, as well as a bank, post office and police station, would be yours.
If that doesn't sound like fun, then you must be insane.
How much does it set you back to distribute a feature length film?
A typical distribution deal costs between $100,000-$150,000.
The average cost of a theater is approximately $10,000
The average screen cost is about $5,000
The distribution fee is approximately $500,000. If you have 100 screens then that would mean your cost to distribute the screen(s) is around $500,000.
Distribution fees for ten screens would amount to $50,000
