Royalty reporting in the media and entertainment industry can be complex, time-consuming, and prone to error. But with Just-ROYALTIES, powered by Creative Total Media, you can automate, streamline, and simplify your royalty reporting processes. From managing multiple revenue streams to handling regional compliance and reducing audit stress, Just-ROYALTIES ensures accurate and timely payments with less admin and more peace of mind.

The Royalty Reporting Challenge in TV & Film

The TV and film industry has evolved rapidly in recent years, especially with the explosion of global distribution platforms and streaming services. With this evolution comes an increasingly complex web of royalty agreements, including:

  • Tiered royalty rates
  • Minimum guarantees
  • Advances and recoupments
  • Multi-region taxation and compliance

Traditionally, tracking these payments across various titles, platforms, and partners has been a daunting task   and one that eats into the time that could be better spent on production and strategy.

According to PwC's Global Entertainment & Media Outlook, revenue complexity in content licensing continues to grow, especially with the expansion of digital rights and cross-border deals.

That’s where Just-ROYALTIES comes in.
