Other Sources of Revenues For Movies

Here are just a few other ways for a movie to gain money outside the initial release at the box office.

a. Foreign Theatrical Release → which is the money from ticket sales in foreign countries, which does not include North America. There is also profit when the movie is released to DVD/VHS and revenue can also be accumulated by foreign cable and foreign TV.
b. Pay Per View Option → which charges money from licensed subscribers willing to pay a one-time fee to view a movie, most often utilized by hotel and airline guests.
c. DVD/VHS cassette sales and rentals → Revenue from the sale and rental of DVDs to the public, which can also be purchased online (Netflix) or video stores (Blockbuster).
