A recoupment waterfall is the contractual order in which investors, producers, and other participants receive money as a film generates revenue. It determines who gets paid first, at what percentage, and under what conditions — typically structured across multiple corridors tied to gross or net receipts.
Gap financing is a loan secured against the unsold distribution rights of a film. A bank or gap lender advances funds based on the projected value of territories not yet pre-sold, filling the gap between equity raised and the total budget.
A minimum guarantee (MG) is an advance paid by a distributor to a filmmaker in exchange for distribution rights in a specific territory. It represents the distributor's minimum commitment regardless of how the film performs.
