Exhibition / Exchange

Exhibition is divided into two sections:

  • Cinema - The distributor is paid by the cinema for a copy of the film.
  • Home - The distributor is paid by the company who is selling the film for a copy.
A films success is often decided on the amount of money made during its cinema release. This is known as Box Office Takings. Home Exhibition is becoming an increasing valuable and varied source for distributors to increase profits.
