theatrical distribution

Theatrical distribution refers to the process of delivering a film to movie theaters for public viewing. Distributors acquire or produce the film and then arrange for it to be shown in specific theaters within a certain timeframe. They negotiate with theater owners on screening rights, release dates, and revenue sharing. The goal is to maximize a film’s exposure and box office sales. Essentially, it’s the bridge between filmmakers and audiences, ensuring the film is accessible to viewers in cinemas, managing logistical details, and generating revenue for all parties involved.
