Abstract

ABSTRACT The film industry can be a high-profit business, but it also comes with high financial risk. Since film production requires large investments, producers and investors are looking for clues on how to predict a film’s financial success. This study identifies the relationship between two potential funding sources and a film’s box office score. We compile a variety of data and analyses to increase the value of information in the decision-making process. Our main contribution is to define the relationship between the source of financing for the production (public subsidies and international co-production) and the success of the film. The research shows that while the diversity of sources may have an impact on the size of the budget, not necessarily on the box office of the film. Moreover, comedy was the only genre to significantly affect the box office revenues.
