Hollywood Profits: Quantitative Drivers of Motion Picture Profitability v1.0
In this 24-page quantitative presentation, the author summarizes the conclusions of his in-depth statistical analysis of factors that, alone or combined, predispose movies for profitability.
Digging deep into his data, the author makes the case that, on average, independent films are superior not just on their widely touted creative and artistic merits, including originality, but—perhaps surprisingly—also in terms of commercial value as measured by their expected return on investment (ROI).
With the economics of filmmaking evolving past Hollywood's traditional "rules of thumb," a new savvy generation of film entrepreneurs and financiers is well positioned to succeed through innovation.
