The Horror Market
"Fans are often surprised to discover that horror is the most profitable film genre & the best investment studios can make." - Mark Zucker, President, Sony Pictures, 2015. Horror is a genre that never goes out of style. Horror films provide the best risk/reward ratio in the movie industry, and often enjoy box office success and video/DVD sales without major stars. They have lower budgets than other genres, and they have a loyal audience in the most desirable demographic (18-35 year old males). Low-budget horror movies are a major economic force within the film industry. The Blair Witch Project grossed over $200 million, Saw took in over $100 million, and Cabin Fever has already grossed over $60 million in all markets. All of these films were produced for under $200 thousand dollars. Global Box Office revenues for the entire industry are projected to grow US$10 billion between 2000 and 2010 to US$18 billion, according to Variety Magazine and Hollywood Reporter. The National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) reported annual domestic ticket sales of $7.5 billion by the end of the past decade, a 55 percent increase since 1990. Total Admissions were $1.6 billion, an increase of over 25 percent over the same period. Looking at 810 independently produced, low budget ($100,000 to $1.5 million) U.S. & Canadian domestic released features during the period of 2012 - 2015, the horror films generally enjoyed the most profitable return on investment averaging 140%. This research was limited to films budgeted between $100,000.00 to $1.5 million with the assumption that roughly 60% of the overall production budgets were equity financed. The horror genre is alive and kicking. From 1995 to 2014, horror films have had a 13.15 percent box office market share. And according to a Redbox survey of moviegoers, 70 percent watched a scary movie last Halloween. Studios love to take on these low-budget projects, hoping to find the next generation-defining scare. If worse comes to worst, they can be content to simply make their money back several times over.
