Negative cost

December 31, 2022

Negative cost is the net expense to produce and shoot a film, excluding such expenditures as distribution and promotion.^[1]

Low-budget movies, for example The Blair Witch Project, can have promotional expenses that are much larger than the negative cost.^[2]

The term comes from the costs up to the production of the final negative.
