While returns vary widely in the film business, an example of ROI would be the returns from the low budget It Follows produced in Michigan follows. At a production revenue of $20.6 Million, a $25K investment would yield an ROI of $2.05 Million. While this is unlikely, it is (URL removed) that is the beauty of film investment. Our production budget has been set initially at $100,000. The detailed budget is attached.

Investors would immediately receive their investment back with the first $100,000 in revenue. Revenue after that point would be distributed as follows: $25K investor ROI is 10% of all revenues after the first $100,000 investment is repaid. $10K investor ROI is 4% of all revenues after the first $100,000 investment is repaid. $5K investor ROI is 2% of all revenues after the first $100,000 investment is repaid.
