Post-Theatrical Rights refer to the rights that allow content distribution via streaming platforms, television, DVDs, home video, inflight entertainment, and educational licenses-after the initial theatrical release. Post-theatrical exploitation is key to recouping costs and maximizing a title's long-tail value. Often, post-theatrical revenue surpasses box office earnings.
