My beyond VOD distribution quest has led me so far away from where it began that I felt it appropriate to start its own thread.

Beginning with this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...WGNZNExVQVRnMkFEbDUxRldlSHc&usp=sharing#gid=0
... I felt that I needed some context on just "how many users/views were appropriate" for small release films.

So, I built this context spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...MjdCRnVCTU95TXk2Y2NDd3JmS3c&usp=sharing#gid=0
... using data collected from this link: http://boxofficemojo.com/yearly/cha...2=domestic&yr=2012&sort=open&order=ASC&p=.htm
... which:
>> NOTE: I'm excluding foreign films since their primary audience is non-U.S. which renders useless revenue and user data, and documentaries since those are kinda specialty non-narrative films which renders useless data. And animations, too.​

I don't have time right now to start building yet a third spreadsheet to overtly outline just how minuscule the theatrical revenue is for these limited theatrical release films, (and most of what we're likely to produce around here is going straight to DVD/VOD [if at all] = even fewer user/views/revenue), but I wanted to provide the preliminary data below ASAP just in case you had a few minutes to burn cogitating on revenue vs. expense.

Profit or Earnings = Revenue - Expenses​

Filmmakers have to remember that THEY have to put the link out there. Createspace isn't going to help you one iota with marketing.

I wish I knew the percentage of viewers who rent vs buy though. Createspace doen't break that down.

That first statement is sadly obvious but certainly worth restating at every possible oportunity.

That lump figure is unfortunate. Seems like obvious data to provide customers so that they could optomize their marketing for additional sales.



Found this for more distribution homework:
