Synopsis:

Explains the film industry's unique, arcane creative accounting practices. This work examines a film's various revenue-consuming components and presents film-industry definitions of gross and net profits and the many ways in which these figures are calculated.

From the Author: Some thoughts about talent and profit-sharing.
Movie Money lets motion picture talent learn how they participate in the profits reaped from their creations. The authors are delighted so many readers seem energized and enthused by the information Movie Money provides. We intended the book to empower talent and from the feedback we're getting it seems we are achieving our goal. We also hope professionals working on the studio-side of deals find Movie Money makes them better able to understand the profit participation agreements they are making since we believe such knowledge helps everyone involved in motion picture deals. On a personal note, I firmly believe that for any deal to work well, it must be fair all around. In the final analysis, I hope Movie Money helps strengthen relationships in Hollywood by letting talent recognize when they are being treated fairly and giving studio-side people greater insight into how to give talent a fair shake. Thanks for your interest and thank you Amazon.com for this chance to speak directly with readers! Bill Daniels
