Of course they'd need to budget for R1 advertising and production costs. But the costs aren't really too bad unless many people feel the price is outrageous. I'm not sure how much advertising would cost and I don't really feel like researching it right now, but I guess they would have to sell a minimum of 1500 DVDs to cover it. Anyone want to look up how much licensors spend on advertising? I know they're pretty close mouthed, but there is probably a mention somewhere. |
that doesnt even count the other costs that the company can pay, so it could run at about 1500+ or even more to really break even. that's a lot of dvd's to sell. no wonder they licensed it early.
but 20,000 dollars per episode? that's kinda low considering the costs that was made to make that 1 episode. but i dont know...
