Heist alone has $4,671,484.00 known gross revenues to date not counting ancillary revenue's which far exceed gross revenue's in the movie business today. These revenue streams will continue generating profits for decades to come :-)

Tickets Don't Pay For the Movies

>>This is another way of saying that "the tickets don't pay for the movies"—even if they do represent a key indicator of their popularity.

So, what does pay the costs of producing movies?

Most of the revenue comes from ancillary rights (revenues from non-box office sources). Today, these profits come from 10 areas.

##network TV rights
##foreign distribution
##sales to independent TV stations (those not affiliated with a network)
##video rentals and sources such as Netflix
##pay-per-view TV rights
##airline rights for in-flight movies
##college rights for campus screenings
##music sales for film soundtracks
##film-related merchandise (toys, etc.)
##book publishing rights (when a book follows the movie)
##and product placement (money received for clearly showing certain products in scenes.)

>>Without these ancillary profits the film industry couldn't exist—nor could producers expect to fund new projects.

The exception to the heavy emphasis on ancillary profits is represented in independent films, which, as we've noted, are generally made for a fraction of the cost of studio-backed films. These are typically financed by the individuals who believe in their ideas and don't mind the risk involved -- typically producers, directors and even the stars involved with the project. http://www.cybercollege.com/frtv/frtv009.htm

I've seen HEIST on PPV on my own Spectrum Cable... These numbers are not listed with the numbers website as well as many other ancillary revenue sources absent from the total.

The spotlight will shine on $MHYS~ soon enough :-)
