What’s Included
- Rate Card — 17 territories × 3 tiers × 8 window types (Theatrical, SVOD exclusive/non-exclusive, TVOD, AVOD, Pay TV, Free TV, EST). Prices in USD, formatted as currency.
- Tier Definitions — how to classify a title as A, B, or C.
- Paste Generic Avails Here — cross-reference tab for confirming rights held before quoting.
How to Use
- Read the pricing as a starting point, not gospel. The numbers are illustrative of a mid-market indie feature distributor’s typical asking prices. Real deals are negotiated — these are opening positions.
- Classify each title against the Tier Definitions tab before pitching. Tier A pricing on a Tier C library title kills deals.
- Use
Paste Generic Avails Hereto confirm the right is available in the territory before quoting from the card. Selling what you don’t have is the fastest way to destroy a distributor relationship. - Edit the cells to match your catalog. Add rows for territories you sell into that aren’t listed. Replace the Theatrical column with a real value if you self-distribute theatrically.
A word on SVOD pricing
SVOD pricing varies wildly by licensor and by window. The rate card lists two SVOD columns (2-year exclusive vs 2-year non-exclusive) because that split is how most distributors price — exclusivity roughly doubles the MG. For 1-year or 3-year windows, scale linearly as a first approximation, then adjust for licensor-specific terms.
