I can recommend a couple books on the topic. The standard text is ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ECONOMICS by Harold Vogel. This is a rather dry but complete overall surveyThe edition I have is copyright 1986, but there may be a more recent one. A better and simpler book might be PRODUCING, FINANCING AND DISTRIBUTING FILM by Baumgarten, Farber and Fleischer (Limelight Editions), copyright 1992. Michael M. USC
