Economic impacts of “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin” in Germany
Commissioned by
the Motion Picture Association (MPA)
In 2022, production of Season One of “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin” resulted in total spending in Germany of over €26.6 million. Spending on local suppliers of goods and services was the main expenditure item, making up 75% of the total expenditure at approximately €19.9 million. The remaining 25% of spending was on wages and salaries for local production crew and other labour at €6.7 million.
Oxford Economics calculates that the production expenditure of “Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin” supported a contribution of over €31.3 million to Germany’s GDP in 2022. We find that for every €1 million that the production’s own activities contributed to the economy, its expenditure supported a further €3.7 million along its supply chain and through the payment of wages.
We find that the expenditure undertaken by the show’s production stimulated 700 full-time and part-time jobs across Germany. For every 100 people the production directly employed, its expenditure stimulated another 70 jobs across the country.
