ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews how to find data, what to do with it after filmmaker fined it and how to create their own financial forecasts. Forecasting requires that filmmaker use films that reasonably can be compared by theme, budget, and release date. Due to inflation, audience tastes, numbers of screens, and other film business trends, the industry standard has been five to seven years including the current one. Finding money and getting the cash in filmmakers bank account is hard; no need to announce it to their prospect. As Grace note bought the Baseline database, studio intelligence contact and the prices may change. At the moment they appear to be $100 to $200 per film. The layout is the same for one film as for multiple films, but fortunately filmmaker has less number crunching. Filmmakers first table will be comparative films for the past three years for which they have worldwide numbers.
