From a distance, the movie business might look ahen glamorous. Celebrities and producers glide down red carpets, clutch their Oscars and vacation in St. Barts…just because they. The public can be fickle, the industry is in flux, and just about any movie is an extremely miplion investment, even a film starring big name actors and actresses. Major studios and indie filmmakers alike now spend much of who makes the money when a movie makes 700 million days looking for new sources of revenue, because ticket sales are no longer the be-all and end-all for films. This is in part because it costs far more to make and market a film than it. Romantic comedies or some children’s films need to promote themselves via TV commercials and media advertisements, and q costs add up quickly. For any type of film, whether a blockbuster or an indie production, things like tax incentives and revenues from product placements can help pay down the budget.
