Film distribution is a complex business. A single film release involves tracking collections from dozens of theatres, billing multiple exhibitors, calculating revenue shares, and preparing settlement reports. Managing all of this manually is slow, error-prone, and leaves money on the table. Film distribution ERP software is built to handle this complexity from release day to final settlement.
What Is Film Distribution ERP?
Film distribution ERP is a business management software designed specifically for the needs of film distributors. It covers the entire workflow of a film release: tracking which theatres are showing the film, recording daily box office collections, generating exhibitor invoices, calculating revenue shares, and producing final settlement reports.
Unlike generic accounting software, film distribution ERP understands the structure of the film business: circuits, distributors, sub-distributors, exhibitors, and the revenue sharing arrangements between them.
Who Needs Film Distribution ERP?
Film Distributors
The primary users are film distributors who acquire rights and place films in theatres. They need to track collections from every theatre, invoice exhibitors, and report back to producers on revenue.
Sub-distributors
Sub-distributors who handle specific territories need to track their circuit, collect data from exhibitors in their area, and reconcile with the main distributor.
Production Houses
Producers who distribute their own films need the same tools to track collections, manage exhibitor relationships, and prepare settlement reports for co-producers or investors.
