Your distributor’s clock

Due October 3, 2026

Thirty days from today. Most of what’s below is already moving on its own. Two lines, the music cue sheet and the sync and master licenses, can’t happen before the film is even shot, so their clock starts the day you lock picture, not today, and neither one is overdue yet.

Work for hire means everyone who worked on this film signed away their rights to what they made for you, so the copyright is clean.

What Mula still has to place

$13,850, already in your number

The three reports together add up to $2,850, the same figure you saw when Mula first gave you your number.

Title report Needs a report, $950
Copyright report Needs a report, $950
Script clearance report Needs a report, $950
Chain of title opinion Chain of title means proof you actually own every piece of this film, all the way back. Paid directly to the attorney. Nothing comes back through Mula. Needs the attorney, $3,500 flat
E&O, $1M and $3M, three years Deductible under $10,000. Mula places this, $7,500
Certificate naming the distributor Additional insured means the certificate covers them too, for what happens on your production. It goes out the same afternoon the E&O is placed. Waits on the E&O

Waits on picture lock

2, not due yet

Music cue sheet Waits on picture lock
Sync and master licenses for every cue Waits on picture lock

You could close the laptop now. One line here still needs you tonight, your appearance releases, and everything else is either moving on its own or waiting on a call only your attorney or a locked picture can make. The reports and the E&O were priced into the number you saw in week one, so nothing on this list is a figure you are meeting for the first time at midnight.
