Worldwide, people are watching more films than ever, and so are investors. In the years from 2004 to 2007 private-equity investors placed a $10 billion bet on studio profitability. Film Entertainment Worldwide: The Private Equity Era provides an assessment of how much each revenue pipeline will contribute going forward to the kind of revenue growth that will pay off for private investors and keep them interested in funding the production of Hollywood's movies.

IN THE REPORT:
This report, based on AMR's proprietary model of film entertainment revenue by pipeline, provides a joint AMR/Screen Digest analysis of the major studios' worldwide film revenue from theaters, home video, TV networks, and video-on-demand. It covers each revenue stream in light of recent results and major initiatives including:

• The strong box office year of '07
• The challenging year for home video
• The victory of Blu-ray and the end of the high definition format war
• The debut of the $3.99 iPod movie rental
• The continued strength of online subscription rental
• The launch of Hulu and the prospects for ad-supported movies on the Internet
• The rebound of major studio film performance in several key international markets
• Comprehensive Review of All Revenue Streams

Film Entertainment Worldwide: The Private Equity Era is 80 pages long and includes 47 charts and tables. Published in April '08, it provides historical revenue and projections to 2011 for all film entertainment revenue streams: theatrical, packaged media retail, packaged media rental, cable/DBS/telco & Internet VOD, pay TV, and free TV. It includes a discussion of recent initiatives by pipeline and the impact on sequential window revenue.
