It's pretty much impossible to get an accurate number. If it's anything like the music industry, then the number is either "zero" or "100 zillion dollars", depending on who you listen to.

There's no real way to measure it though. What you end up with is whichever side you're listening to making up numbers to try and spin the argument in their direction.
