This event covered how deals are structured in film and television, how revenue is allocated and reasons why profit participants may struggle to see returns. On April 30, GHJ’s Entertainment Practice Leader Ilan Haimoff and Profit Participation Services Practice Experts Heather Clayton and Raul Duron Jr. joined the California State University (CSU) Entertainment Alliance for a discussion on the shifting economics of the industry.
The program explored:
- An insider look at the realities of Hollywood accounting
- Why even highly successful projects do not always translate into profits for participants
- Use cases of entertainment disputes
- Evolving economics within traditional theatrical models versus streaming
Talent, investors, co-financiers, producers and studio leaders learned how these changing dynamics impact them and Hollywood as a whole. Attendees also discovered how profit participation audits and the settlement process play critical roles in uncovering inconsistencies, supporting claims and ultimately protecting the financial interests of participants.
