Name Tax Year Ss Gross Income Entertainment Industry: Fill & Download for Free

Nearly two years after releasing the first part of his magnum opus “Baahubali - The Beginning”, director S S Rajamouli is all set to release the concluding part of the saga.The first part, which ended at perhaps the most titillating junctures in the recent cinema history, opened to blockbuster collections in the range of Rs 50 crore on day one and went on to collect a massive Rs 650 crore (gross) at the worldwide box-office. The Rs 200-crore franchise is expected to take a record opening, getting close to or even exceeding its predecessor’s record.Starring Telugu actors Prabhas and Rana Daggubati along with Tamanna and Anushka Shetty, the film will be released in as many as 6,500 screens in the country, including 3D and IMAX — the third film from India to be released in IMAX format (the first two being Dhoom 3 in 2013 and Bang Bang in 2015).According to trade analysts, the movie will out do its prequel and rake in around Rs 1,000 crore (gross worldwide) in its lifetime. Experts bet that the opening day figure could breach Rs 80 crore (gross).#BaahubaliTheConclusion 's Humongous Pre-release Biz WW.. pic.twitter.com/a3rQhtjnp0— Ramesh Bala (@rameshlaus) February 1, 2017It seems that the distributors are pretty much aware of the potential of the second instalment. The Indian and overseas distributors have invested a huge money as a result of which Baahubali 2 has earned mammoth 500+ crores before release. As per the reports, the satellite rights, domestic distribution rights and North America distribution rights have fetched 500+ crores for Bahubali makers. Let’s have a look at the break-down through this infographic:Domestic Distribution Rights (All Languages): 356.97 croresOverseas Rights: 45 crores (only North America)Satellite Rights: 51 crores (Hindi)Satellite Rights: 26 croresSatellite Rights (Tamil and Malayalam): 13 crores (Star Network)As you can see, Prabhas, Rana, Anushka Shetty and Tamanna starrer Baahubali 2 has already earned 500+ crores with overseas rights other than North America, music rights yet to be reported.Reports said the film would be released in 9,000 screens worldwide, a record for an Indian film. While 6,500 screens will be for India, 1,400 screens have been earmarked for the US and the remaining 1,100 for the rest of the world.The distribution is mainly done by producer Arka Media Works, while the Hindi dub-version is being marketed and distributed by Dharma Productions.The film had a universal appeal due to its theme, content and packaging with its never-seen-before CGI. The film transcended its regional Telugu origins due to superior dubbing (Hindi version) and storytelling which caught the imagination of Indians at home and abroad who speak in diverse languages.Another factor which made it a success was the distribution of the film in its key North Indian market by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Anil Thadani’s AA Films. In the south — its citadel — except for the goof up in Tamil Nadu, all other areas had strong and reliable distributors. Special care was taken by the producers to make Baahubali 2 look like a Hindi, Tamil or a Malayalam film, though the mother board was Telugu. When Bollywood dubs a film into regional languages, they still emphasise only the Hindi version. Here each version was cut taking local flavour into consideration (all versions have a different running time) — or else Baahubali 2 would not have broken Rajinikanth’s recent Kabali box office record in Tamil Nadu.Trade analysts say the film has also shown for the first time, the size of the Indian market and its huge potential. A large chunk of Baahubali 2 box office collections came from South India, where big-budget sword and armour extravaganzas do well. Hindi mainstream directors have never wooed these audiences as they were always focussed on the North Indian heartland and multiplex audience in the metros. Baahubali 2 is a film which has done very well across multiplexes and single screens.The producers of the film also spent a lot of money on technology and R&D. In south India, where a lot of theatres had 4K projection, they were given 4K digital projection instead of the regular 2K. And US collections were boosted because it was first Indian film to open in nearly 50 Imax screens. Rajamouli and his team had pulled off a miracle of sorts by making Baahubali 2 technically slick, which showed in the projection and the repeat audience for the film. Down south, people — especially families — are watching the film more than once, for its storytelling and grandeur. Though piracy is rampant, it has not dented the box-office collections as everybody wants to watch it on the big screen. At the end of the day, content backed by superior marketing and promotions won.In general, major studios don’t disclose the full budgets for their films (production, development, and marketing/advertising). This is in part because it costs far more to make and market a film than it seems. For example, the production budget for Marvel’s "The Avengers" is recorded as $220 million, but if you factor in marketing/print and advertising costs, that number spikes.For any type of film, whether a blockbuster or an indie production, things like tax incentives and revenues from product placements can help pay down the budget. If they're given an incentive to shoot a film in Canada or Louisiana or Georgia, producers will usually hustle to do so.Cost of The Film: Pre-production + Film Production + Post Production + Advertisement Expenses (Condition: 2% to 4% of poster publicity expenses will be debited from Exhibitors)Distribution is the integral part of the Movie Business, it is the way a financier or a film producer gets back their returns.The distributor buys the “distribution rights” from the producer, mostly in the very beginning itself (or) sometimes after previewing the final cut. However, the pre-acquiring of film distribution right is based on the casting, crew, director, story and the producer’s past success. Also, Now days it is a usual tendency in film distribution in India that the producers itself, distributing the films without a third party (or) an independent film producer. They were implementing this method is because of avoiding the distributor expenses. On the basis of entertainment tax and state-to-state connectivity, Film Distribution Association of India divided the state provinces into 11 circuits for distributing the films. Sometimes the distributors directly distribute films to all these Circuits, while other times the main distributor rent (or) sell films to a local film distributor.Theater attendance has been falling, which makes it even harder for studios and distributors to profit from films. Usually, a portion of theater ticket sales go to theater owners, with the studio and/or distributor getting the remaining percentage. Traditionally, during the opening weekend of a film, the larger chunk went to the studio, while as the weeks went on, the exhibitor's percentage rose. So a studio might make 50% of a film's ticket sales in the U.S. and even less than that on overseas ticket sales.A person who owned theatre is called an Exhibitor. There are two ways an exhibitor, getting right to display a film in their theatre. The first method is, on the basis of a pre-agreement with a distributor hire theatre to showcase their films. The Second method is, the releasing centres (A Class Theatres) give advance money payment (theatre advance) to distributors for getting the right to display that particular film in their theatre . Above, the Secondly explained method of Film Releasing is dependable on the basis of cast and crew; sometimes it is based on the tie-up between Film Distributor and Exhibitor. Distributors get the return from the theatre and it is known as “Distribution Right”. The ‘Distribution right’ is calculated on the basis of an agreement with the theatre owner/Exhibitor Association and film distributor, as the way below mentioned tabular column shows.If, a Film not earns 70% of revenue from all of its three theatrical shows (A Day Count), then it is called as ‘Holdover’. In such a case there will be a 10% less in Profit Percentage Sharing of distributors in the first week and 5% less in next two weeks.After Five-seven weeks, the producer also has right in the ‘Distribution Share’. But, the condition is- if the distributor buy the film wholly from a producer, then the producer is not entitled to get any theatrical distribution share and satellite right (sometimes) from the distributor.Once upon a time, it was all about DVD sales. Now, it’s far more about Video On Demand (VOD), television rights and streaming rights.As for VOD, revenue from these deals should add hundreds of millions to a studio's bottom line. For indie films, there are several VOD release strategies: day-and-date (movies released simultaneously in theaters and VOD), day-before-date (VOD before theatrical) and VOD-only. So movies that don’t have the special effects and big-name stars to lure people to the theater often profit from this model.The film industry is in flux, and ticket sales alone don't drive revenue. There’s merchandising, VOD sales, foreign sales and a plethora of other distribution channels that can help filmmakers, producers and studios turn a profit. There are no guarantees.Reference:Expect record opening: Baahubali 2 likely to rake in Rs 1,000 croreBaahubali 2 earned 500 cr before its release, will it make Box Office record?
