German term or phrase: Einspielung
From a film licensing contract:

" Mimimumgarantie/Erlöse

Kinorechte /Theaterrechte: Bis zur *Einspielung* der Vorkosten und Mimimumgarantie aus dem Kinobereich: 60% für Lizenzgenber und % für Verleih."

Note: Existing Glossary entries for 'Einspielung' state "recording," but I understand that as being used in a technical context, rather than in a financial one (as in the above quote).
