--- Round 0 ---
[R0.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): Let's get started. We need to discuss the festival and awards path for our newly acquired prestige drama. I've planned a world premiere at Telluride on August 30, 2026, with TIFF on September 10 as a fallback. We also have 12 guild screenings scheduled between October 5 and November 20, 2026.
[R0.2] Finance FP&A Manager (speak, public): To assess the proposed plan, I need to understand the associated costs and potential returns. Can you provide more details on the planned theatrical release, including the number of screens and the marketing budget?
[R0.3] Business Affairs Counsel (speak, public): To ensure we're on solid legal ground, can we confirm the distribution windowing for this film? Specifically, are there any constraints on PVOD and streaming that we need to be aware of in relation to the proposed theatrical release and festival schedule?

--- Round 1 ---
[R1.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): For the theatrical release, we're planning a limited release to maximize awards buzz. The marketing budget is still being finalized, but our awards vendor budget is $495,000, broken down into $310,000 for the consultant and $185,000 for the PR retainer. As for distribution windowing, I believe we have some flexibility, but I'd like to hear from you, Business Affairs Counsel, to confirm if there are any specific constraints we need to be aware of.
[R1.2] Finance FP&A Manager (speak, public): To validate the release plan, I need to understand the overall marketing budget, including both the awards campaign and the theatrical P&A. Awards & Festivals Lead, can you confirm if the $495,000 awards vendor budget is within the overall awards campaign budget cap of $2,600,000? Also, what's the current thinking on the limited theatrical release P&A budget - are we still at $7,800,000 for 600 screens?
[R1.3] Business Affairs Counsel (speak, public): We've previously established that our distribution windowing allows for PVOD 60 days after theatrical release and streaming on our partner platform at day 150. To ensure compliance, we need to align our festival and awards schedule with these constraints. Additionally, we should confirm that our planned guild screenings between October 5 and November 20, 2026, fit within these windows.

--- Round 2 ---
[R2.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): To confirm, our overall awards campaign budget is capped at $2,600,000, and the $495,000 awards vendor budget is part of that. The limited theatrical release P&A budget is still being discussed, but we're considering $7,800,000 for 600 screens. Regarding the distribution windowing, I understand we have a PVOD window 60 days after theatrical release and streaming on day 150. Our guild screenings are scheduled between October 5 and November 20, 2026, which should fit within these constraints. However, I need to check the exact theatrical release date to ensure alignment.
[R2.2] Finance FP&A Manager (speak, public): To further assess the viability of the proposed release plan, can we confirm the expected opening weekend box office projection and how it aligns with our Exhibitor co-op marketing terms? Specifically, are we forecasting an opening weekend ≥ $4,000,000 to qualify for the $900,000 Exhibitor co-op payment?
[R2.3] Business Affairs Counsel (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with our release plan, we need to consider the talent contract awards obligations. Our lead actress is entitled to participate in awards events up to 10 days with a per diem of $260/day. We should factor this into our overall budget and scheduling. Additionally, we have guild requirements for Q&A events that need to be met, including the SAG-AFTRA talkback rate of $745/day and a minimum call of 4 hours.

--- Round 3 ---
[R3.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): To align with the proposed release plan, we need to confirm the talent's availability for press and awards events. Our lead actress has 8 days of press capacity, and the director has 12 days. We should ensure that our schedule doesn't exceed these limits, especially considering the guild screenings and potential awards ceremonies.
[R3.2] Finance FP&A Manager (speak, public): To ensure we're making an informed decision, can we summarize the key elements discussed so far? Awards & Festivals Lead, can you confirm the planned theatrical release date and how it aligns with our festival and guild screening schedule? Additionally, I'd like to revisit the ROI greenlight rule and assess whether our current projections meet the criteria of projected incremental gross ≥ $11,000,000 or ≥ 1.4x marketing spend.
[R3.3] Business Affairs Counsel (speak, public): To ensure we're on track with our release plan, I'd like to confirm that we're meeting the contracting timeline for submissions. We need to have our materials locked by July 15, 2026, for festival submissions, and our legal review SLA is 5 business days. Can we confirm that our current schedule aligns with these requirements?

--- Round 4 ---
[R4.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): To confirm, our planned theatrical release date is still being finalized, but we're aiming for a limited release in late October or early November 2026 to maximize awards buzz. This aligns with our guild screenings scheduled between October 5 and November 20, 2026. I'll check with the distribution team to confirm the exact date and ensure it fits within the distribution windowing constraints you've outlined. Regarding the contracting timeline for submissions, we are on track to meet the July 15, 2026 deadline for festival submissions, and our legal review SLA is factored into our schedule.

To ensure we're making an informed decision, I'd like to confirm that we're meeting the ROI greenlight rule and that our projected incremental gross meets the criteria of ≥ $11,000,000 or ≥ 1.4x marketing spend.
[R17.2] Finance FP&A Manager (speak, public): To finalize our decision, let's review the key financial metrics. We're projecting a $7,800,000 P&A spend and a $2,600,000 awards campaign budget. We need to confirm our opening weekend projection to assess the $900,000 Exhibitor co-op eligibility and ensure our incremental gross meets the ROI greenlight rule of ≥ $11,000,000 or ≥ 1.4x marketing spend. Can we confirm our current box office projections and the resulting incremental gross?
[R17.3] Business Affairs Counsel (speak, public): To finalize our decision, let's review the key elements discussed. We've confirmed our distribution windowing, talent contract awards obligations, and guild requirements. We've also discussed the planned theatrical release date and the associated costs. I'd like to confirm that we've considered all the legal and contractual obligations before moving forward.

--- Round 18 ---
[R18.1] Awards & Festivals Lead (speak, public): To finalize our decision, let's review the key elements discussed. We've planned a world premiere at Telluride on August 30, 2026, with TIFF as a fallback, and 12 guild screenings between October 5 and November 20, 2026. Our awards campaign budget is capped at $2,600,000, with $495,000 allocated to awards vendors. We're considering a limited theatrical release in late October or early November 2026 with a P&A budget of $7,800,000 for 600 screens. We've confirmed our distribution windowing allows for PVOD 60 days after theatrical release and streaming on day 150. I believe we've covered the key points. To ensure we're making an informed decision, I'd like to confirm that we're meeting the ROI greenlight rule and that our projected incremental gross meets the criteria of ≥ $11,000,000 or ≥ 1.4x marketing spend.
