Paul Kagan Associates, Inc. The group produces newletters, reference books and conferences. We have developed a data base which tracks films by budget range for the last 11 years, the database has tracked over 2,800 films. Statistics show that higher budgets yield great profits, and that lower budgets rarely yield great profits unless there is a breakthrough film. Big budgets will not go away.
Stars expect to be paid.
