The industry The global entertainment and media industry will be worth $1.8 trillion by 2010, and $2 trillion by 2011

At the Theatre Movie theaters sold an estimated $10.37 billion worth of tickets in This year so far ticket sales are at $9.84 billion with 7 months to go.

Digital vs. DVD Digital movie purchases surged 47% last year to $1.19 billion a category that includes both DVDs and high-definition Blu-ray discs—dropped 8% to $7.78 billion. DVD rental subscriptions, the category that Netflix Inc. pioneered, dropped 19% to $1.02 billion, while rentals at stores fell 14% to $1.04 billion. Subscriptions for movie streaming, a category dominated by Netflix, remained increasingly popular, though, with revenue up 32% to $3.16 billion.

Movies The top grossing movie so far in 2015 has been Avengers: Age of Ultron, selling over $392 million dollars and over 48 million tickets

Music In 2012, for the first time ever, U.S. digital music sales are expected to surpass sales of CDs and vinyl albums. It was by the narrowest of margins, but according to Boston- based Strategy Analytics Inc., digital sales are expected to reach $3.4 billion this year, while CD sales are only expected to reach$3.38 billion. This trend is likely to continue, as digital sales are expected to set the global benchmark by 2015.

CD’s are still the most profitable CD sales are a much more profitable avenue for most artists. Independent musicians can produce and sell their own CDs and keep all the profits.

Streaming Streaming is expected to soon be the most popular way for consumers to acquire music tracks. Consumers pay a monthly fee and have unlimited access to any songs they want to listen to. However, music on programs such as Spotify, Rhapsody, or Pandora results in less revenue for a musician than downloads. A survey done by the Future of Music Coalition reported that musicians aren't seeing any money from streaming or it's such a small amount that it almost doesn't count in their yearly profits.

Downloads  The Cynical Musician breaks it down in terms of U.S. minimum wage, currently $7.25. Based on a 40-hour work week and four weeks in a month, the monthly earnings for a minimum-wage employee would equal $1,160. The same amount of income would require 1,813 downloads per month on iTunes. Justin Bieber's song "Boyfriend," for instance, is the fourth best- selling download of all time. His record label collected $390,000, iTunes received $200,000, and Justin earned $83,000 from downloads of the song.

Touring Touring can be exhausting for musicians but has proven to offer the biggest bang for the buck in terms of artist revenue. Record labels have started forming "360 deals" with new artists, allowing them to take a percentage of concert revenue, merchandise sales and endorsement deals - items which used to be off limits to them. The label is typically more invested in the artist in this case, and therefore more inclined to offer support to the artist in all career aspects.

Touring For instance, John Mayer selling 15,000 concert tickets at $50 each will result in $750,000 in ticket revenue, guaranteeing him $200,000 to $300,000. Most artists make an average of three to four dollars per head in merchandise sales at concerts, adding another $60,000. If he sells out, he will also get a 50/50 split on the back end. So Mayer could potentially make $560,000 just in one night.

CD’s Continued In the end, in very broad terms, that leaves about $1.93 per sale in profit for the artist and $9.74 for the label

TV TV Earns 300 billion annually. Time Warner, Disney, Viacom/CBS, NBC-Universal, News Corp. and Sony - wield an unrivalled position of power and control in the market.
