The Hollywood film industry is constantly expanding, creating a competitive atmosphere that continues to grow and change through the years. The entertainment industry especially. The process of launching films is risky due to the number of different film options to choose from. How a film is marketed, determines its success or failure. When trying to position a film, research is a crucial tactic throughout the entire process.…
Everyone knows about the American movie business. Millions of dollars go into financing big movie projects just to entertain ourselves away from the real world, and millions of dollars are sent back in tickets to go see these films. Certainly, this business has been booming for the past one-hundred years, and we keep on fueling the fire. Movies aren’t just about entertainment only. Many films have become part of the American culture, and many films from the US show how Americans think and feel about certain trends or ideas.…
During the 1930’s the decline started. The major central producers, Irving Thalberg and Darryl F. Zannuck, had built such highly efficient operations in their studios that there was no need for micromanaging. This made them more figureheads than anything else. Secondly, actions taken by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the federal government would force the studios to change the way things were being done.…
What makes a successful movie? Is it the storyline, the characters in the movie, the music playing during pivotal moments, or is it the actors that are taking place in the movie? For a movie to triumph it has to involve all of these attributes, and then some, and apply them in a special way in order to appeal to the audience. The movie Concussion is successful due to the interesting and engaging plot, audience it affects, and actors. In addition, as of December 25, 2015 Concussion made over $10,500,000 and then later by March 11, 2016 the movie grossed over $34,531,832 according to IMDb (2016).…
Films are products of their time and evolve as American culture evolves. As such, directorial use of existing technology, and the cultural desire for improved movie-making have led to the development of the motion picture industry. “To most people, a movie is popular entertainment, a product to be produced and marketed by a large commercial studio. Regardless of the subject matter, this movie is pretty to look at – every image is well polished by an army of skilled artists and technicians” (Barsam & Monahan, 2016, p.3).…
There were three smaller studios close behind: Universal, Columbia, and United Artists (the Little Three). One of the ways the ‘Big Five’ made a lot of profit was through block booking. Block booking was the practice of a studio selling its films in bulk. These bulks consisted mostly of B-movies and one A-quality movie that the theater wanted. By using this tactic, studios were guaranteed to make money because their movies would be shown at the theaters.…
Comparing this movie to all other great movies, this movie was popular not just in theaters but in people's homes as well. Not only does a great movie sell DVD’s, a great movie is sold and watched around the…
Like a patchwork quilt, the films and literature found in American culture incorporate, to some extent, elements from other movies, books, and even mythological and historical figures and events. George Lucas and his Star Wars films provide a prime example of a film that is a pastiche of various other films, while also serving as a cache of inspiration for future filmmakers. Such inspiration was needed at a time when the film industry had little direction because of the influence of big business and Wall Street along with the disintegration of the Motion Picture Production Code. In fact, Star Wars was one of the films that marked the beginning of a new era in film: the postmodern period. Even today, about forty years after the release of the…

What is your opinion on celebrity wages? I think that they should be decreased by a lot. There are some things that should be done with them, but they use the money for other purposes. The three things that stand out is uselessness, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse. The three examples of people that stand out to me are Tom Brady, Justin Bieber, and Snoop Dogg.…
Everyday when we turn on the television it is full of shows, movies and sports. They are full of a variety of actors and athletes. Do you ever wonder why they get paid so much? If so you are probably like me and want to know why. Some of the reasons they are paid so are because they are the best at what they do, actors and athletes are in the public eye at all times, become spokespeople for brands, and risk their career playing or performing in sports.…
Moreover, filmmaking companies often produce movie sequences that become movie franchises. Making sequences increases the output of films produced. However, producing movie sequences might drive average costs per movie up. Studios might need higher budgets to make additional movies to the first one. This is because original product and its extension need to be similar (Aaker, D. A., & Keller, K. L., 1990).…
Books usually have announcements from the author, option for pre-ordering the unreleased book, and signs in bookstores and libraries reminding people to “read the book!” Successful and entertaining movies sometimes have not-so-successful books written specifically to glorify the success. See the irony here? The opposite is also true. Books that are loved and collect large amounts of money also have movies made for them that completely “tank” and are awful…
