Early Career and Rise to Fame

3. The Development Slate Tease (For Upcoming Productions)

  1. Development: A studio buys a script or option a book. Only 10% of developed projects become greenlit.
  2. Greenlight: A production executive and financial team approve the budget. For major studios, this requires a "gap analysis" (projected box office vs. cost).
  3. Pre-production: Casting, location scouting, hiring crew. Studios like Disney have in-house departments; others outsource.
  4. Production (Filming): The most visible phase. Average Hollywood film: 50-80 days.
  5. Post-production: Editing, VFX, sound mixing. This is where streaming studio productions differ—Netflix may mandate multiple versions for different territories.
  6. Distribution & Marketing: The studio’s most costly phase. A typical blockbuster spends $100M+ on global marketing (trailers, billboards, influencer campaigns).
  7. Ancillary Markets: DVDs (dwindling), streaming licensing, airlines, merchandise. For Star Wars, merch revenue exceeds box office 3:1.
