You won't be able to find that information online anywhere. You can contact the studios individually and ask.

That's quite an interesting question :) I am not an accounting professional, but me being a business enthusiast, one of the first questions that I explored was this. That must have been way sometime back! So let me see if I can explaint this atall. Providing benefit of doubt, I may be wrong too! :)\n\nImagine Advertising to be a Subset of Marketing. You can probably call it an aid to your Marketing plan. So when calculating expenses, as part of your Marketing expenses, you may consider your advertising expenses like a TV Commercial cost or a banner ad cost. But as far as your Marketing expenses are concerned you may still have other items like say you may have taken some help in professional marketing plan preparation or you may have arranged for a conference where all buyers/sellers meet and things like that.\n\nHave I confused  you? ;-)

you can check out local papers and usually in the classified sections there are ads where it says need extras for a movie.  you have to be there all day and they pay you not that much.

Their cameras cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but you can rent them from the studios.  Studios make their money by renting props and equipment out.

Could you clearly define "advertising"? Only in newspapers? Anywhere? Only the costs of the pure "information distribution" or also the production costs like desktop publishing and so on?\n\nAnd what should the information help you at all? Most advertisement still are a local thing - with the exception of very few really international websites.

Not really, especially if they ask you to use their consultants to market you as an "extra".  That usually means spending money to try to get placed into a movie.

If the directors have their own production companies, you need only purchase a copy of The Hollywood Creative Directory at www.hcdonline.com.  \n\nNote: If you are hoping to pitch them an idea, remember that most don't accept unsolicited materials.  Never just stick something in the mail.

I think theaters are pricing theirselves into extention.  My local theater raise their price of a matinee to $5.50 just in time for the summer movie run.  They have raise the price about a dollar in the last year and a half.  There is a drive in that I would go to if the gas prices weren't so high, than I could see 2 movies for $5.  But why should I waste my money.  Hollywood is making more crap every year.  All they care about is making a million.  Now movies don't have the "legs" they use to.  If they don't make their money in the first 3 weeks of release it is all over. \nMovies move to dvd so much faster than they use to.  About 3 months now.  I pick what movies I will see at the theater (Cars, Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean), and the rest I wait for dvd.   I can reat a movie at Movie Gallory for $1.49 and get it for the whole day.  Or wait a month and buy it for $7.50.  I got patience.  And lets not even talk about the concession prices.  I got soda and popcorn at home.  Good question.

You should go to the movie theater, McDonalds, and the grocery store to find out.\n\nIt depends locally.

it seems like they're following this formula where they take plot ideas and star combinations and scene clips from movies that have made money in the past and then try to put it together to form something that they can make a trailer for that tells nothing about the movie but makes people want to spend money on it. it's more a marketing ploy than anything creative. really sad.

This would be difficult information to find out without paying for it. A lot of research companies find this information out in questionnaires etc and then sell it on to 3rd parties for marketing purposes so without wanting to pay I don't think you'll find out.

Since all major studio are flipping because of p2p, personal contributions would be an excellent way of funding good movies. You'd have to set up a website, advertise it through IMDB, get media coverage and a very good pitch to bring in the money !
