ABSTRACT

We all know that the film home video/ancillary business is going through a major paradigm shift. The question still exists-where is it going and how soon? Theoretically, everything will be streamed and downloaded some day; but that specific day is unknown. Before the audience can buy a movie ticket, rent a disc, or order a digital download, the movie has to get off the filmmaker’s desk and into the movie theaters. This method of circulation is called distribution . Simply put, it is the business of selling the film to various media.
