Appraisal Guide
Our Marquee Appraisal Guide is your source for real-world star power. Through its weekly updates, the Guide allows you to compare the latest revenue performance appraisals for marquee talent in accordance with the prominence of their pictures, their prominence within those pictures, and their statistically typical outcomes for both the opening and closing theatrical grosses. Our team comes from the ranks of filmmakers and distributors. We know that a motion picture’s package of artistic elements provides the key to investment decisions for the content business - whether in financing a project, in acquiring a completed film or in committing funds for distribution.
Our purpose is to expand the universe of responsible creative choices available to decision-makers in five crucial ways: 1) We highlight not only studio stars but also talent associated with independent and foreign language cinema, 2) We rank both Top Openers and Top Closers - domestic and foreign, 3) We rank both on-camera and off-camera talent, 4) We provide a free online Package Calculator that anticipates the relative strength of different talent combinations 4-24 months in advance so that not everything depends on the biggest celebrity, and 5) We empower you with financial information to make the case for that less-obvious but artistically-ideal choice.
