I'm passing them on to the animation students at Ravensbourne, so that they can start to "follow the money". http://www.ravensbourne.wordpress.com Thanks for these valuable insights.

Global broadcast and ancillary income returns are usually less than half of the theatrical return. Studios are loathe to reveal their actuals, but you can check this book for more info on the metrics: http://tinyurl.com/5ejb9r Of course, as a responsible filmmaker, if you find this hypothetical too optimistic, you would be wise to reduce it to something more conservative. :-) Cheers!

If this is not a wholesale figure, how did you arrive at this number? Same goes for braodcast and ancillaries, both of which are not 'average' numbers based on the going license rates. Would love to unearth more of your assumptions for this otherwise very helpful analysis.
