Al Pacino is a second-generation American whose grandparents emigrated from Sicily, but despite living in his grandparents' home, he speaks no Italian. Would anyone accuse that iconic Baby Boomer of being a traitor to his ethnicity? Well, he better watch out, if he keeps talking like this:Explain to me what Italian-American culture is. We've been here 100 years. Isn't Italian-American culture American culture? That's because we're so diverse, in terms of intermarriage. Most everybody who's Italian is half Italian. Except me. I'm all Italian. I'm mostly Sicilian, and I have a little bit of Neapolitan in me. You get your full dose with me.

YES, HE CAN.

What degree do you have to have in order to be a movie producer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Most record producers (also called "sound engineers") attended school to learn the art (and it is an art) of producing records. Some may have begun as musicians or even disc jockeys, but today, in order to be a professional producer, you have to learn how to use some very complicated pieces of studio equipment, and you have to be able to create a certain sound that will help the performer to have a hit.

There are some schools that offer certificates or even degrees in sound engineering, where you will not only study and learn how to use the equipment, but you will work in a recording studio and gain valuable experience watching how the professionals do it. While you are deciding on the right program of study, you may want to find a recording studio and see if they need any help. Working in the industry is a good way to find out if it's the right career path for you.

Does a movie producer write the script?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A film producer's job is to secure funding for the project and write checks to pay for the production.

Usually, a director is more involved with casting than a producer, and rightfully so: the director and the actor are responsible for telling the story on film, following the script and working together. The director may hire a casting professional to help in this key task.


However, there are 'producers' who use their 'power' to influence unwitting actors into relationships off the set, based on the 'producer's' 'power' to 'cast the actor'. Generally, actors are well advised to avoid these kinds of 'producers'.

What percentage of profits does a movie producer get out of the total gross?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Film Producer, as you know, funds the film and its production. Whatever way the film production is funded (whether it is the producers own money or what the studio grants him or her) a producer always gets what he or she negotiated during the contract signing.

They are paid for being on set as well and this can be anywhere from $30,000-$200,000 for two-three months of filming as they are required to be on set and overlook the project and its filming.

Back to profit from Gross...

Let's say a producer produces a film on a $30 million dollar budget (as most movies are funded on now a days) and the film is released and it brings in $75 million. A producer/producers will always get what percentage he or she negotiated. Usually beginning and long time producers always negotiate for 1%-10% of the gross profit. Anything over that is just a huge risk and request for trouble as they have to worry about the film being a box office failure (not passing it's budget/ bringing in money from movie goers).

So...A movie is funded on a $30 million dollar budget, and it brings in $75 or $80 million...And the producer wants 5% (as most producers do), if it is $75 million total of gross profit--then that producer gained him or herself a payment of $3,750,000 million of that gross. Now if the film grossed $80 million then the producer gets $ 4 million of that gross....

Wait! That's just an estimate of what it will make in the UNITED STATES!

If the films worldwide gross profit brings in another $100-$120 million, plus $75 or $80 million from gross profit in the state --- $100 million + $75 million = $175 million (the producer gets 5% of that which equals roughly about $8,750,000)

$100+$80 million=$180 (the producer gets 5% of that which equals $9 million).

My answer may not be thorough but it's some what of an insight. Now if you go on and become a producer and get a great reputation like David Geffen, Stephen Spielberg, James Cameron, or Francis Ford Copolla--expect your profit to be HUGE! :)

If you go on to become a producer, produce a few films and build up your net worth, and then produce your own film that way you can get a higher profit.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A movie producer works behind the scenes to get a movie made. He or she can may oversee nearly all stages of the creation of a film, from the writing of the script to the screening of the finished product. Movie producers are generally responsible for the financial and organizational aspects of making a movie, such as acquiring funding, selecting a cast and crew, managing the film budget and schedule, and marketing the movie.
