Sony Pictures Classics Distribution Advance Report

Whether you’re packaging, producing, buying, or selling a film, the SPC Advance Report is the only resource available with minimum guarantee advances across an entire slate of films.

The SPC Advance Report includes advances for 175 films released by Sony Pictures Classics since 2004. The advances total $233M, and range from $12K to $12M in all major genres, and most languages.

In addition to minimum guarantee advances for 175 films, the workbook also includes box office data, release metrics, and performance ratios to help you in your research.

Selected Report Findings

• Only 10% of SPC films were released on 500 or more screens

The SPC Advance Report is the only resource that provides independent film professionals with access to comprehensive distribution advances.
