===Model Revenues=== To obtain an idea of the relative contributions of these various modes of revenue generation, we present a model of typical relative amounts of revenues. These are hypothetical figures for a $5 million production budget motion picture and are presented to demonstrate the common relative contributions of non-box office receipts to the cash flow of a motion picture. The gross revenue reported for domestic box office is the $13.7 million median value quoted for motion pictures with production budgets between $10 and $15 million as quoted in Section 7.b, Historical Production Budgets and Revenues of Motion Pictures, Revenues. The gross revenue reported for foreign box office is the sum of the similarly reported median value and an estimated $8 million for revenue from electronic media. The figures provided do not constitute a representation or guarantee concerning the actual non-box office performance of the Motion Picture. Model Income Statement1 (Based on a motion picture with a $10 million production budget) A. Revenues from Domestic Box Office $13,700,000 Less 50% Distribution Fees and Expenses ($6,850,000) Net Revenue from Domestic Box Office $6,850,000 B.
