I might be watching The Irishman tonight since I'll have 3.5 hours to kill. @TMP

Going to watch when I get home from work and making a quick stop to the store.

Do anyone know how much was it for indie distributor for an hour on regular TV for a comparison ?

 

For example:

Netflix reports that its 117.58 million subscribers watch 140 million hours of content on average per day,

 

A $108 dollar Netflix a year account watched in average way more than 435 hours (has that 117.6 million subscribed was by the end of the year), even with a very extremely low fixed-acquiring customer-amortizing R&D cost of say 33% you have 15 cent and less hour going on to play with.

 

That volume at that price for non already moneytised content is not necessarily something possible without leading to an hockey stick, winner win bigs model nothing for the rest, like the music industry became with streaming.

TV would be ancillary revenue for an indie production company, after their film was bought by a distributor. There’s no standard distribution deal: typically a distributor will pay an upfront price (up to or exceeding production budget) and then once that amount is exceeded by revenue, the following profits are split up between original investors and distributor. (Not split down the middle, but the investors could expect something like 20% back from those profits). 
 

Amazon (and other streamers) basically are very aggressive with their distribution offers (since they have all the power): it’s now rare for them to cover production expenses up front.

Just got back from Knives Out and I'm about an hour of the way through The Irishman (tried to watch it all in one go when I couldn't sleep last night, but then I actually got tired). Between those two, it's been a pretty excellent day for new movies, I'd say.

Literally half of her Ravenclaw description should be about Slytherin. But no...she doesn't know what she's talking about. Especially about the ruthlessness part regarding Hermione. None of the trio were ruthless.

They all joined the outlawed terrorist group The Order of the Phoenix.

No one watches TV anymore though... 

[Morieris]

I woke up early to watch Servant and I was like "Eh ok." on episode 1 and "Wait, what, how are you going to get 2 seasons outta this?" on Episode 2.

 

I'm interested though.
