Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to launch my movie on iTunes?

Generally, Quiver will deliver your film to iTunes within 30 days of receiving all of your final assets and metadata.  To make sure your film is delivered in time, we ask for all materials to be delivered to us 60 days before your desired iTunes pre-order or live date.  If all assets and data are submitted on-time, Quiver will deliver your film 30 days prior to your pre-order or live date.

How much does it cost to get my film on iTunes?

Quiver’s basic package for delivery of an English language title to 57 territories via iTunes is $1,395.  This fee covers the cost of delivery to iTunes and processing all of your payments for 2 years.  After 2 years there is a $75 annual renewal fee for Quiver to continue to store all of your assets and process and remit payments.  We don’t take any of the revenue you earn from the sale or rental of your film.  We charge a single flat rate so you can keep 100% of the revenue you make from iTunes.

What are my splits with iTunes?

You keep 70% of the retail price of your film for all Electronic Sell Through (EST) sales on iTunes.   30% of the retail price is retained by iTunes.  For example, if your film was priced at $9.99 for purchase, you would early $7.00 for each sale on iTunes.
