We also highly recommend using this Indie Film Database to have your Film Marketing Plan & Distribution Plan practically write itself for you and we show you exactly how. There are so many amazing ways to use this database to guide your movie & your investors.

We hired Nash Info Services, the movie data gurus behind the-numbers.com to create a completely custom spreadsheet for us analyzing indie and studio films 2006-2026.

Now, let’s be clear. You can get a lot of this information yourselves – for free. Let’s use Birdman as an example: 
https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Birdman#tab=summary

Our spreadsheet includes everything under Theatrical Performance and Home Market Performance. Then you could scroll through each tab and pull a lot of the other numbers yourselves. 

And then you could do that for 10-20 films. And you could do it after you even figure out which 10-20 films you want to use as your comparables after researching which are Indie vs Studio. You can use the-numbers, IMDB and/or Box Office Mojo. It’s been the way we’ve done things for years…but oh-so-many of you have let us know how much you hate the tedious work. You just want to get on with filming, right? 

What we’re offering is you can just filter for let’s say, Indie Films & Comedy and BOOM!!! In 5 seconds…you have this: 

Comparable Films Revenue Database

You can sort, filter, compare numbers, do whatever you like to make sure you narrow down the best comparable films for your business plan. Then just copy/paste the numbers right into your Financial & Business Plan Templates. This info is even better if used as you write your screenplay – see what does well. See which movies just like yours brought in the most at the box office. Your Comparable Films can do so much for your film!!!! Learn how we use this database to find our audience and build our marketing and distribution plans at Film Marketing Plan & Distribution Plan Expert Advice.

It is notoriously hard for filmmakers to find details on lower budget films, which is exactly why Nash are the pros. It’s ALL they do – scour for industry information and work with filmmakers. Additionally, Nash has been doing Narrative & Doc Sales Projections for years! The Doc films in our database generally fall into three categories: biographical, social issues, and health/self-care/personal fulfillment. The narrative films cover every genre. So there’s plenty from which to choose!
