While the prevailing narrative about mental illness in the media is that "it made me stronger," Pemberton notes that those with more serious conditions are rarely featured. The media's portrayals celebrities are often highly speculation. Nonetheless, Zeta-Jones's statement was respectful and grounded in reality.

FAQ

To ensure the dialogue sounds natural, professional translators are also hired.
Is Hollywood making more from international sales than domestic?
Yes, but only slightly. Around 17% of total revenue came from foreign sources in 2017. 83% of domestic revenues were generated in 2017.
More than half of the world’s population lives in foreign markets.
Many people will want to see your movie even though they may not have the opportunity to watch it at home.
What percentage of box office profits goes to marketing?
Marketing budgets usually account for anywhere from 20%-40% of a film's budget. This is because marketing is critical to the success and longevity of any film.

Let's face it, we all know...
It can be challenging to get your film into theaters. The process is complex, lengthy and involves many legalities.

The average actor's salary ranges between $1 million and $100,000 depending on whether the film is independent or a movie. The average actor receives between $10,000 and $20,000 for a film. However, many actors are not paid at all. It depends on how successful they are. Some actors make millions while others struggle to find work.
Why is it that so few independent films are ever released?
Most indie filmmakers assume that their films will get picked up by distributors.
They believe distributors will pick up their films because they know the public will love their work.
However, this is seldom the case. Distributors often profit from independent filmmakers.
They will use techniques such as delaying the release of a movie until after the awards season has ended.
Or they delay the release date of a low-budget film until after the summer blockbuster season has begun.
Distributors may also keep films from the public until people have already spent hundreds of money on tickets, popcorn or candy.
They don't want any of those profits to go to waste.
