Out of curiosity, where do you get all of this data from?

Also, do you have any sort of list that shows which Black List 2008 scripts were sold and which weren't?

I noted information sources in the first post in this thread here.

Re Black List: You can go here to download. Some of the scripts are available, some of them are set up. That info is on the list.

hi i have a question. is it all selled-script in 2008???
is there any other script that did not post on it???
in hollywood.. each year so many movies are published.. so i think this numbers are so little..
sorry for my poor english.

@toomity: First off, the list in this post is just those that were the biggest sales (in terms of reported dollar values). For the full list of spec script sales in 2008, go here.

Second spec script sales represent only one aspect of Hollywood literary acquisitions which also include pitches, novels, non-fiction books, newspaper and magazine articles, real life stories, comic books, graphic novels, video games, board games, and so on. In general, the Hollywood film industry probably acquires over 1000 projects per year.
