How many movies makes Hollywood each year?

Hollywood studios produce about 3,000 films each year. Three thousand!

These films are marketed by Hollywood, which spends billions of dollars. They spend millions creating them. And they spend millions promoting them. However, how many actually make it to the theaters?

The answer is most likely between 200 and 300. What happens then to the 2,700+ remaining films? Most of them are either released direct-to-video or just sit in storage.

However, not all of them are unavoidable. Some have been chosen for distribution via Netflix or Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and iTunes, Google Play and other platforms.

Why don't they get more? Why aren't they released in theaters? They are too expensive for production.

If they were more affordable to produce they would be released into theaters.

Here's where you find me. I will assist you in finding the best possible method to release your movie in theaters.

I'll show how to maximize your return-on-investment (ROI) as well as increase your chances for seeing your movie in theatres.

Let's face facts...

It can be difficult to get your movie into theaters. The process is long, complex and full of legalities.

Why are so few independent films ever distributed?

Most indie filmmakers assume that their films will get picked up by distributors.

Because the film is loved by the public, they believe distributors will be interested in it.

However, this is rarely the case. Distributors often benefit from independent filmmakers.

They employ tactics like delaying a movie's release until after awards season has ended.

They delay the release of a low-budget movie until after the summer blockbuster seasons has started.
