Hi Today I'm sharing the third of four joint research projects I've conducted with Bruce Nash of The Numbers, very kindly supported by the American Film Market.
This week we're looking at the likelihood of indie films reaching Domestic cinema screens.
You can read what we found at https://stephenfollows.com/how-many-independent-films-reach-cinemas/ Until next week,Stephen

How did Trippie Redd go from a virtual unknown to stardom? What took Logic from cult success to an artist who fills arenas? How do labels identify the superstars of tomorrow? The answers to questions like these have traditionally involved factors like touring, endless promo runs, and lucky breaks. But now, artists and the labels that build their careers are finding a new way to move up the ranks: data.

Toronto Film Festival buyers face harsh lessons after indie flops
|

"People have short memories," says Tom Quinn, founder of Neon, the indie distributor behind "Parasite" and "Apollo 11." "A lot of these failures are the result of companies chasing the moment and the headline. A big acquisition is alluring for a company that is ultimately trying to make a statement." Fortunately for the agents looking to sell movies, a number of players are hoping to make some noise. Emerging streaming services such as HBO Max and Disney Plus are in a race to snap up as much compelling content as possible as they arm themselves for a battle against Netflix.

In honour of the release of IT Chapter Two, I thought I would highlight my increasingly important, revealing and profound 2016 study of clowns in movies.
It covers all the key data-crunching clown facts, including the number of such films, the genres of movies featuring clowns, whether a clown makes a movie better or worse and finally some clown movie recommendations.
You're most welcome.
