Films will begin releasing January 22 (to give people some time to get ideas and what not). I will have a release schedule up soon.
HOW YOUR FILM'S GROSS WILL BE DETERMINED:
-A good synopsis (does not have to be long or thorough, just understandable and intriguing)
-promotion (in your movie thread or where you feel promo is appropriate...you MUST promote if you want your film to do well)
-MPAA rating/popularity of the film
-whether or not it seems interesting to the general public (don't make films that only aim to certain demographics unless they are made with a small budget)
-BUDGET, BUDGET, BUDGET. Be realistic and fair. An action film is not going to be made for a mere $15-$20 million. $70 million+ is just the beginning; on the other hand, documentaries will not be made for $50 million+. Just be realistic.
-activity in the game (which is why you have to promote)
-reviews (good reviews/good WOM generally allows for longer legs)
-Awards/Nominations/Buzz (when the time comes, this is always a plus)
AS FOR MPAA, I WILL ASSIGN YOUR FILM MPAA RATINGS. IF YOU WANT YOUR FILM RELEASED, YOU MUST PUT IT THROUGH MPAA AT LEAST TWO WEEKS BEFORE YOUR FILM IS RELEASED. Here's the info I need for the MPAA thread:
Title:
Stars:
Budget:
Content: (ie. sex, drugs, language, violence, gore, etc.)
Synopsis:
If you don't get the rating you desired, you can "edit" your film and resubmit it, or you can "appeal" your film to get the rating you want without editing it (we'll cross that bridge when we come to it).
I will post weekly/weekend actuals only. NOT dailies.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and have fun!
