Film finance is and aspect of film production that occurs before pre-production, and is concerned with determining the potential value of a proposed film. In the United States, the value is typically based on a forecast of sales over a ten- to 15-year period, beginning with theatrical release, and including DVD sales, and release to cable broadcast television networks both domestic and international and inflight airline licensing.
Film finance is a subset of project finance, meaning the film project's generated cash flows are used to repay investors, and generally not from external sources.
