  Operation & Economics
 
 

David Brown's report provides the analysis and data that all players in the film channel and movie industries need to profit in this increasingly competitive market.

Television now accounts for more than half the $60 billion total annual revenue earned by the movie industry and Pay-TV accounts for an increasingly large proportion of this amount. Indeed Pay-Per-View film channels are the fastest growing revenue stream for the movie industry despite year on year box office growth.

Globally there are now more than 160 dedicated movie channels that, along with sport, offer the key revenue streams for Pay-TV operators.

Case studies from the likes of BSkyB, Canal+, FilmFour, Starze Encore, Yes Television, Filmgroup and Star TV demonstrate best practice.


The report analyses:
  • The increase in distribution outlets
  • The fall in distribution costs
  • Film channel economics and operations
  • The deal structures
  • The key markets and how they differ
  • The changes in distribution technology
