ancillary (adj.)
is pronounced either AN-sil-ER-ee or an-SIL-uhr-ee and means "auxiliary or subordinate"; it combines with to:

Focus and Miramax are experts at using international grosses to boost their bottom lines. Both, along with Fox Searchlight, are savvy about which projects they go after.

Sony Classics spends far less on marketing and acquisitions and maximizes its ancillary [income].

The matrix of different ancillarie[s] -- which has expanded radically from the early video days to include VOD, Web downloads, airlines, music and merchandise -- puts a new spin on the still-crucial theatrical window.
