Abstract

The article examines the inflation of marketing and production budgets in the French film industry and its consequences for profitability. Based on a statistical analysis of 690 films (1998–2001), it investigates the relationship between promotional investments and box office performance. Factor analysis and regression results show that communication budgets explain around 30% of receipts, and 41.5% when production budget is included. Posters and press expenditures have the strongest impact. However, nearly 60% of performance remains linked to artistic and qualitative factors, highlighting the ongoing tension between financial logic and cultural creation.
