FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS

“Price is crazy and incalculable. Value is intrinsic and indestructible.”

Projections in the unique world of filmmaking are, at the very best, educated conjecture. It is nearly impossible to predict how a movie will perform in advance. Thus, the sleeper hits, and that even traditionally highest-grossing talent suffer box office failures. Perhaps more than any other industry, performance predictions in media entertainment are, essentially, crapshoots.

Nonetheless, given the zeitgeist, Team Manalive’s strategic framework, and our practical plan to creatively envisage and shrewdly promote Death Comes for the War Poets, by punching above our weight with a relatively small budget, we are cautiously optimistic that our production will not only be profitable, it will establish the strategic path for future Live Cinema productions to be realized in a more efficacious and, thus, profitable, manner. Moreover, the additional revenue stream generated by a new live performance sales channel further strengthens the economics of this inaugural production, while also providing insights for our next project.

Below are three scenarios summarizing net revenue breakdown.

“Currency of the future will be relationships of trust, anchored in the wisdom of the past, framed within the trascendentals of beauty, goodness, and truth.”
