Series Break a Leg Prom Queen Scare City Dr Horrible |
Cost $63 $2000 $7-14,000 $5900 |
Break a Leg, Prom Queen and Scary City are Tubefilter's. Dr Horrible is based on Jeffrey McManus's estimate of 250K budget which Joss has pretty much confirmed. I guestimated the TV number based on 44 minutes at 1.5K.
Put this together with CPM numbers from Tubemogul via New TeeVee today: the average CPM for those monetized videos is $12.39.
That's 12 bucks and change for every 1000 viewers you draw.
So if your video is 3 minutes and you've got a middle of the road budget of 2K/min your episode costs you $6,000. At a CPM of 12 bucks you need half a million viewers just to recoup.
I'm going to go dig up some numbers on how many viewers scripted webisodes are typically getting… More math coming soon.
Stay tuned.
