The catalog also contains film placement like Nitro Circus: The Movie and 2015's Magic Mike XXL, which is currently airing on premium cable networks like HBO and Cinemax.
Key Drivers
Production music is a vital part of the TV and radio industry. In fact, the Production Music Association’s Joe Saba called it a “$1 billion global industry hidden in plain sight.” Right now, demand for music in TV shows, films, and commercials is tremendous. To meet their music needs for all these uses, brands and production houses are turning to production music libraries.
Songs in this catalog are part of production libraries, Sonoton and Atrium Music. Whenever production groups are creating an episode of a TV series, films, or an advertisement, they will solicit music from production music libraries (like Sonoton or Atrium) to use. If the music included is used in future series/shows, you will earn performance royalties when they air. Essentially, as the winner of this auction, you will benefit from these songs inclusion in well-known production libraries without having to shop the works yourself.
