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

  1. 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.
  2. Classify each title against the Tier Definitions tab before pitching. Tier A pricing on a Tier C library title kills deals.
  3. Use Paste Generic Avails Here to 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.
  4. 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.
