Hi ,Ā
We often get asked how to do revenue projections for a film. How do you even begin to estimate how much income your film will bring in over time?Ā The answer, of course, is the only way you can show investors what and when their ROI might be.Ā Ā
Ā
One way to project revenue is to find comparable filmsĀ - those with similar budgets, genres and distribution to yours - and use their box office revenue to estimate your own, so you end up with something like this:Ā
You can use the-numbers, IMDB and/orĀ Box Office Mojo. It's been the way we've done things for years...but oh-so-many of you haveĀ let us know how much you hate the tedious work. You just want to get on with filming, right?Ā Ā Our
NEW...Custom Indie Film Database AND Professional Projections Done For You has been a HIT and 100s of filmmakers have successfully funded their films using these tools and services! Ā We hired Nash Info Services, the movie data gurus behind https://www.the-numbers.com to create a completely custom spreadsheet for us analyzing indie and studio films 2006-2021. Our spreadsheet has over 370 titles with:Ā - Year, Genre, Sub Genre (drama, comedy,
romantic comedy, horror, adventure, action, or thriller)
- Production Budget, Distributor, Source, Production Method, Creative Type, MPAA Rating
- Opening Weekend $, # Theaters, Box Office, DVD, Blu Ray, Box Office Multiplierj
- Documentary and Narrative Films
Our spreadsheet includes everything under Theatrical Performance and Home Market Performance. Then you could scroll through each tab and pull a lot of the other numbers yourselves.Ā
And then you could do that for 10-20 films. And you could do it after you even figure out which 10-20 movies you want to use as your
comparable films,Ā after researching which are Indie vs Studio. It's how it's always been done.Ā
Ā What we're offering is you can just filter for let's say, Indie Films & Comedy and BOOM!!! In 5 seconds...you have this (goes all the way out to Column U). You can see a larger screenshot of the database here.Ā You can sort, filter, compare numbers, do whatever you like to make sure you narrow down the best comparable films for your business plan. Then just copy/paste the numbers right into your Business Plan Template. This info is even better if used as you write your screenplay - see what
does well. See which movies just like yours brought in the most at the box office.Ā Ā We just saved you - and ourselves - hours and hours of time and effort, which helps all of us get to financing and filming sooner.Ā Ā New in 2022!

PS - S/VOD info is NOT included in our spreadsheet. While we know a lot of content has been released this way the last few years, there just is not enough information right now to provide any meaningful analysis. There are also so many different types of release patterns, it's hard to do any apples to apples comparison. Ā Once you pick your movies, you can research just those 10-20 numbers on your own, where available.Ā

"The resultant projections are what I needed, and the early feedback from the "suits" in this project is that I've presented a clear yet compact
overview of the prospects. They were also surprised it could be presented so concisely and without a complex MBA-style model. By the way, in my projections not all the outcomes are golden, and that adds to my respect for the templates." - TV Producer, now ConsultantĀ Ā "Just want to thank you for your materials and help over the past year. I could not have raised the $1.5 million or made this film without the materials you
provided. The bargain of my career!" - James Ā "Thank you again so much. In no small part because of you, your fine staff, Nash & Associates and your incredible body of templates and
instructionsĀ Iāve been able to raise over $400,000 dollars so far for the film. I honestly donāt think I would have been able to raise a dime if not for the detailed and professional deck I was able to put together following your guidelines."Ā - Michael Ā "Melissa, I was extremely hesitant in purchasing even your lowest priced package. It all sounded to good to be true. I spent 2
months last year writing a business plan from scratch for a different medium. So I just couldn't imagine getting anything worth while for the prices you were offering.Ā Ā But I have an investor that requested a detailed plan with financial projections within 2 weeks, so I pulled the
trigger on your Gold + Financials Filmmaker Bundle. It was the best money I've ever spent! Can't even begin to tell you what a difference it makes. So concise and on point. Makes putting the plan together so fluid and easy. Not having to worry about what to cover, only how to best state it for my film project. Amazing. Thank you so much. Worth every dollar!" - Michael Ā "I'm almost fully funded for my feature film this summer! The resources
you and your team have provided were essential in getting this thing made. I could not have done this without you." - Chris "Incredible information. An absolute gold mine for the independent filmmaker. Do yourself a big favor and order today!!!" - BarryĀ |
