The Going Rate
It has been dicey for indie film producers and distributors battling for
fees around the globe, but there are fledgling signs that things are
improving.
The glut of product that clogged the release pipe is abating, though
that’s because a number of outfits have gone to the wall or are trying to
avoid that fate by pulling in their horns and producing fewer movies.
It’s still hard for indie fare — including critically lauded pics like “The
Hurt Locker” or “The Last Station” — to secure screens in the U.S. without
the backing of a Hollywood behemoth, but the situation abroad is even
trickier. Until the ad markets bounce back in foreign territories, broadcasters will be cautious about picking up more pics than they need or paying
more for them than they have to.
In any case, folks in places as far-flung as France, India and Korea tend
to prefer their own homegrown fare (and if they don’t, government regulation helps nudge them in that direction). Still, China is being ever so gradually pried open and the taste for American films, at least of the blockbuster variety, is definitely whetted in that territory.
Elsewhere, too, international audiences have been flocking to American
franchises which the Hollywood majors are increasingly betting the house on.
Our Going Rate chart suggests the percentage of an American film’s
budget that can be made up in foreign sales for all rights in key territories.
Obviously there are disparities, and for a pic that, for whatever reason, is
really hot, competitive bidding can drive the price up. Still, for most sellers
it’s still a slog.
