Distribution Clause

finance a la shmoop. what is distribution? alright ,you've made this awesome movie

guaranteed to make audiences laugh and cry and vomit yep in the same scene too. [woman turns green]

sorry it's hard to do Steven Spielberg to do that but well anyway you know all

the things teenagers want when they go to the movies, aside from you know making

out in the back row just below the projection, that's where nobody can see.

so you knock on the door of AMC ,10th century then sci-fi or the sci-fi

channel then Fox then Hulu theater. you know that. one with a combo of arrogance

and ignorance and a whole lot of bravado you then show that in your film, and they [woman in top hat pitches film]

all agree it's wonderful. then they smile and they tell you to

leave and then no they don't validate parking.

you can't believe it. why wouldn't they want your movie? this makes no sense

whose fault it is you don't know but it's definitely not yours that your

movie didn't just make bank so you sheepishly ask why, they say why?

distribution. huh well Disney for example Disney has a stream of 40 big movies a

year ,and most are gently some are good. Disney has distribution. they have a team [Disney blockbusters pictured]

of salespeople who relentlessly give out Lakers tickets to the theater managers

and owners, and unlike you Disney has the muscle the threatened to hold back the

next Star Wars sequel if the theater manager doesn't book boss baby 4: the

bloodletting, for 12 weeks with minimum. money guarantees got it ?so Disney has

distribution and you don't. that's distribution .power. power to book films

into theaters so Disney's films get paid for made and seen by millions while

yours well they never leave the cutting room floor , ie your parents basement.

well maybe next life, go to law school. [girl smiles from parent's basement]
