Is there a good website that can help me look up the revenue/income of past documentaries? I'm writing a business plan and would like to collect comparative information. Thanks!

Rosie I would enjoy hearing what you find out. I am also working on a treatment and business plan for a documentary.
I have a documentary in the works too. The great thing about Stage32( been a member for 3 years) is sooner later someone posts a link. Be patient. It will happen. Just look for something in RED.
Hi Rosie,
You probably already have this info...
For general info I use Box Office Mojo http://www.boxofficemojo.com/search/?q=documentary and The Numbers https://www.the-numbers.com/market/2017/genre/Documentary
These don't show S/VOD etc though.
I also get overall trending figures from people like Stephen Follows https://stephenfollows.com/how-successful-are-uk-documentaries-in-cinemas/
*Cheeky trick I do is google "documentary film sales estimates $ business plan pdf" and look at what others are saying.
If you are friendly with a sales agent they might give you sales estimates which will be better tailored to your subject.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
