Short/Independent/Feature Films
95% of all films made
A study by the British Film Institute (BFI) found that of 613 British films released between 2003 and 2010, only 7% turned a profit. 

This drops even further to 3.1% for films with budgets under £500,000.

“
“
An analysis of Hollywood blockbusters with budgets over $100 million, released between 2000 and 2015, indicated that approximately 70% were profitable. Notably, the profitability rate increased from 46% in 2004 to 76% in 2015.
The Reason
70% of your companies life-time budget is gone in 40 days
Most shoots burn cash fast—with no live oversight.
Producers are left guessing. Crew feel short-changed.
Overspend is inevitable.
A typical movie shoot is 30 or 40 days
