Revenue in the motion picture industry comes from several sources:
1. Box Office Sales: The primary source of income, especially for blockbuster films. The global box office can generate significant returns, but it is highly competitive.
2.
Home Entertainment: This includes sales and rentals of DVDs, Blu-rays, and digital downloads. With the rise of
streaming services, digital revenue has become increasingly important.
3. Television Rights: Selling the rights to broadcast films on television channels, both cable and network, provides substantial revenue.
4. Merchandising: Sales of film-related merchandise, such as toys, apparel, and collectibles, can be lucrative, especially for franchises.
5. Licensing and Royalties: Licensing film content to other media platforms and collecting royalties from such deals.
