According to Roadside Attractions and Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., the sister companies handling the film's concurrent theatrical and VOD releases, the film "Arbitrage" has VOD sales, via the Internet and cable and satellite television, of about $11 million, and is projected to gross as much as $12 million. At the art house, "Arbitrage" has sold more than $7.3 million in tickets and may reach more than $7.5 million.
With those numbers, "Arbitrage" has surpassed what is believed to be the record holder for combined sales for a movie released concurrently in theaters and on VOD, held by 2011's "Margin Call." That film had VOD sales of about $6 million and grossed $5.4 million in theaters.
Unlike box-office sales, which typically are divided 50-50 between the theater owners and the distributors, the VOD split usually gives distributors close to 70%. The amount of VOD proceeds that flows back to a film's creative team and investors is still imprecise.
