WHAT IS A RENT-A-SYSTEM DEAL? (In the Entertainment industry.)

In a rent-a-system deal, a producer licenses certain film
rights to a distribution company, typically a studio, for a limited term, but
the distribution company is not required to pay an advance to the producer to
either finance production or take delivery of the film. In fact, in some cases
the producer pays all distribution expenses relating to the film.
In exchange for the absence of fixed payments by the
distribution company, the distribution company agrees to a very low
distribution fee, and the remaining revenues are remitted to the producer. In
essence, the distribution company avoids any risk of loss relating to the film,
particularly if the distribution company does not pay distribution expenses,
and the producer bears the full risk and reward of the success or failure of
the film. Because of the absence of financial commitment by the distribution
company, and the limited upside from the low fee, distribution companies have
little incentive to adequately market and push a rent-a-system film, so such
films often flop.
