Re: How many black people need to view a black movie for it to be a successful projec
It's not so much that it needs to return those multiples.
It' that we can have films made that we what to see and cover all the costs i.e. independence from hollywoood dictating what gets made.

Depends on the production budget, the cost of marketing and distribution. If the movie is 1 million to produce,market and distribute it needs to at least pay the investors a profit. So 2-5 million to be successful. So if the movie is 1M the cost of the average movie ticket is 10-15$
So let's say 100,000 people buy 10.00 tickets = 1,000,000
From there you can see how many people it would take to break even keep multiplying and you can see how many it would take to see 5-10 million profit.
