Description
This listing features the unique opportunity to collect from commercial tracks placed in TV and film. Featuring artists from B.o.B to Kutt The Check, this listing benefits from placements in multiple films.
In the last 12 months, over half of this catalog’s earnings derived from the song “Out All Night.” Featured in the 2015 release Get Hard featuring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell, this earnings from this song grew 15% over the preceding year. The film is available for purchase on iTunes, and to rent on most streaming platforms. Earnings for the song come predominantly from international sources.
Also included in this auction is the Kutt The Check track, “Go Hard.” Featured in the 2013 award-winning film The Spectacular Now, the song currently contributes to just over 26% of this catalog’s earnings in the last 12 months. The film first premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and currently can be streamed via YouTube, Amazon Prime, Google Play and more.
Lastly, this listing features multiple B.o.B tracks including “How U Do That” and “Bet I.” Collectively the songs contribute to 64% of this catalog’s historic earnings. Most notably, the track “How U Do That” appears in the multi-million dollar Step Up franchise.
Key Drivers
International. The majority of this catalog’s earnings come from abroad — at 48% of historical earnings. Although international royalty distribution can lag behind domestic payments and arrive with limited detail, as the winner of this auction you’ll be entitled to any past performance royalties paid by ASCAP, regardless of when they were earned.
TV/Film. This catalog benefits from placements in TV/Film, contributing to over 19% of this catalog's historic earnings. The track “Out All Night” earns from a placement in Get Hard. Every time Get Hard airs, a royalty is generated for “Out All Night.” As the winner of this auction, you'll collect the performance royalties for any of the songs' use in TV/Film.
