Today’s movies often realize 50% of their revenues from distribution in foreign markets. These emerging markets have fueled increased production and a proliferation of independent film production companies.
Independent films are no longer reliant on the US theatrical release to cover most of the production costs.
More than ever before, today’s films are able to exploit distribution opportunities in many international markets increasing earning potential while reducing risk to investors.

According to Price Waterhouse Cooper, the combined worldwide filmed entertainment market will achieve sales of $118.9 billion in 2009, a 7.1% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).
