Distribution terms for film hire

Distribution terms define how large a share of Box Office takings go to the film distributor. There are a number of different methods of film hire calculation methods supported by Head Office.

Distribution terms can be created once and applied to many Cinema film hire contracts. The distribution term description should be meaningful so that the correct terms can be picked when creating a new contract in Head Office > Maintenance > Cinema Film Hire Contracts. For example, Standard 90 50 30

Set the type of agreement using the film hire calculation method.

The configured distribution terms are listed in Head Office > Maintenance > Distribution Terms For Film Hire.

Note: If house costs are calculated per screen, then set these against a cinema screen so they can be applied to a film hire contract.
