Reading the Motion Pictures CEO Pay Landscape (SIC 78, FY2025)
The Motion Pictures industry, classified under 2-digit SIC code 78, had 5 SEC-reporting public companies disclose CEO pay ratio data in fiscal year 2025. Across that set of firms, the median CEO-to-worker pay ratio was 255:1 and the average was 329:1. Median CEO total compensation in the sector was $10.8M, with the sector-wide average at $17.4M. These figures are aggregated from DEF 14A proxy statements filed under Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires every U.S.-listed reporting company to compare its CEO's total compensation against a representative median employee.
Pay dispersion inside this industry is substantial. The 25th percentile CEO in Motion Pictures earned $6.7M, while the 75th percentile CEO earned $10.9M - a spread that shows how firm size, equity-heavy compensation packages, and performance-linked incentives can drive very different outcomes even among peers sharing the same SIC code. When the average and median ratios are close, as they are here, pay practices in the sector are relatively uniform and the median is a reliable representative value.
