DISTRIBUTION QUESTIONS

1) How has Hollywood come to dominate world markets?
Hollywood has come to dominate world markets through featuring actors who over the years have become iconic figures in the film industry such as John wayne always featuring in a wild west or war drama, making other countries want to watch them, and the only way they can do that is by watching a hollywood movie. Also walt disney has become so big as soon as you hear the name you immedently accosiate it with a kids anamted film and it is very rare that any other company can compete with it.

2) Why do i get to see the films I do at the local multiplex?
I go to the local multiplex as its the best way to view a movie,sitting at home with a dvd on is just not the same. Whilst sat in the cinema there are no interuptions, the volume is always on max and the special effects are simply better on a wide screen.

3) Do we get to see the films we want (demand led) or do we see films that are provided for us (supply led) and why?
We watch the films that are provided for us as we dont get a say in what comes out at the cinema, as for example they bring out the films that will make them the most money not what people have requested.

4) Why are more people going to the cinema today?
More people are going to the cinema today as the experience is better, plus they would rather see the film at its best in the pictures rather then wait for it to come out on DVD.

5) look to see whether films hold there positions well in the charts over a few weeks or whether they fall away quickly. What reasons can you come up with to explain this success or failure.
I believe films fall away quickly, i think this as new films are released every week, and they are forgotton quickly.
