Well, it depends. Are you directing/producing a movie and you need staff (ex. costume designers, production assistants, film editors/writers, screenwriters)? In that case, you can either write, call, or even arrange a meeting (it can also be over coffee or dinner) to meet with the person in charge of the company you want to work with.
Hope this helps! Although it would have been better if you could have been more specific in your question.
P.S. Some Advice: Be as polite as possible. Some can be really impatient and arrogant. Good Luck!
It could be anyway from near-free upfront costs to 200 million dollars. Has it been shot already, or is it an idea for a storyline or concept. scenero 1 - THE DREAM - you've written or own the rights to a script do compelling you hire an agent - who is so impressed he too works for no-upfront cost - who shows it to the majors who have a bidding war. In the end, everyone gets paid after the film makes a profit, you have complete control of the film, you get 10% of all gross receipts forever, and an unlimited budget to pick who you want to direct, actors to hire, where to shoot and how long, and what post facility to use as long as you want, and who get distribution rights and for how long. scenerio 2 - THE BUY - same as above except you also buy the rights to a story, buy an agent, hire a studio, pay everyone who even thinks about your project, buy distribution - you purchase the creation of your desire being made and made public. Think Bill Gates. usually - a 30m film can run as low as 30K to get from script to DVD - if you are lucky to get alot of favors (which you will if the script is hot). Finally, the cost is program dependant. If the story involves destroying Chicago, crashing 44 ferraris, and 90% of the film is computer-generated fantasy creatures you know it'll be a few sheckals more than 2 old men talking on a bench with a few flashbacks.
Braveheart (1995) cost an estimated $53 million to make.
The movie Enemy Mine is an all time classic sci-fi alien movie. The film did not have the release numbers that were anticipated for its opening weekend. Only pulling in $1.6Million as compared to its over $40Million production cost.
The movie company sets a price for the film rentalto that particular theater. The theater sets a ticket price to cover the rental cost plus a decent profit over and above that.
This all depends on the on the film a Hollywood film would cost around £12.50.
i think a movie ticket would be like $8.00 in 2005 i guess
Reduce cost production
No. Distribution is a separate company function.
If a product increases in poularity, and decreases its production cost, I would expect that the company selling this product is going to enjoy increased profits.

Improve the Production efficiency and save the cost to company
In a process cost system, a production cost report is prepared by management for management. The purpose is to determine the efficiency of the production operation and examine cost reducing alternatives. An example of a business that would use a process cost system would be a manufacturer that continuously produces a homogeneous product. For example, a soda bottling company produces the same product day after day. The costs associated with producing that product include the raw materials or ingredients, direct labor and factory overhead. This is contrasted with the cost system used by a printing company. In the latter case, the company would use a job order costing system. The job order costing system would specify the costs associated with producing a particular job order. In the example of a printing company, there would be a set-up charge that would depend on the work involved in preparing the job.
Fixed Cost = This is the cost which does not change with change with in the certain range of production of units.Variable cost = This is the cost which change with the change of level of production but it is also remain fixed according to per unit.Break even point = It is the point upto the production of units level where company is at no profit no loss leve less then this level company in loss morethen this level company in profit.
By Production Cost Report, the Company can find out ways and means to reduce expenditure those will not ultimate compromise with the quality of the product.
What effect would inflation have on a company's cost of capital
Marginal product eventually diminishes because the cost of doing business increases with production. The company would need to make a change in the organization so that they can shift their production possibilities.
This is typically not a funciton that is outsourced to another company. You may find that the cost/production value is not the same.
Traditional Cost Accounting System: In this system company first produce the product and then determine the cost of production and then try to sell that product at price covering that cost plus certain percentage of markup on cost.Target Costing: In this system first of all company determines the value of product in the eyes of customer that is how much a customer is willing to pay for the product and then if cost of production of that product is more then the customer willing to pay then company makes analysis of how they can reduce the cost of production to the level of cost a customer willing to pay by reducing the components of product which is costing towards final price but not giving any value to customer and in this way company tries to acheive the target cost customer willing to pay.
