Movie Money unravels, demystifies, and clearly explains the film industry's unique, arcane, "creative" accounting practices. It examines a film's various revenue-generating and revenue-consuming components and presents numerous film-industry definitions of "gross" and "net" profits and the many ways in which these figures are calculated. It also provides in depth discussions of the various aspects of profit participation - terminology, accounting practices, and deal practices - along with chapters on audits, claims, and negotiating tips and tricks. Movie Money is a must-read for all film producers, directors, writers, and actors |
