2011 Spec Script Sales Analysis: Agents & Managers
On Monday, we broke down the 2011 spec script sales by genre. Yesterday by studios. Today by representatives.
Note: A majority of projects were repped by both an agency and a manager / management company, so the total numbers of reps listed will be significantly higher than the number of scripts sold.
First the agencies. The numbers in parentheses mark 2010 totals.
