		The movie industry as industry is now followed by the general public almost as closely as fans follow the business of professional sports.
		If you want to see movies at the cineplex, you'd better go there in the first or second week, Unless it's a blockbuster, it may not be around by the time you have read the reviews, asked your friends, and arranged for a babysitter.
		The cost of shelf space in the movie industry is so high that there is littleroom for modest hits.

	The Daily, Wednesday, June 4, 2003. Movie theatres and drive-ins
		Movie theatres, including drive-ins, sold 119.6 million tickets in the 2000/01 fiscal year, an increase of only 0.3% from the previous year.
		Industry sources suggest there were fewer big hits in 2000 than in the previous two years, and attendance may have been relatively low in the traditional big box-office summer months because of a lack of "blockbusters."
		This may be due to two factors: distance, and the lack of movie theatres in most small communities throughout the province.

	The Movie Industry
		The Movie Industry is one of most exciting and informative businesses in the world, a business where the revenue of a single feature film (such as Titanic), can approach or exceed $1 billion.
		Over 70% of the population rents or goes to movies regularly, thus accounting for over 1.5 billion movie attendances each year in the U.S. Prior to 1985, feature motion pictures had one major source of revenue in the United States and abroad: the movie theater.
		Industry statistics reveal that the past ten years have marked an overall increase of at least 30% in many "ancilliary markets" and, over 200%, as in the case of home video.

	RIAA-Movie Industry Cry Illegalize It - MegaGames hardware
		Of course, the movie industry was lucky it lost the case against VCRs, because home video soon became Hollywood's largest source of revenue.
		And the freedom to use and develop new technology that was protected by the Betamax decision set the stage for the incredible growth in computer technology we've seen in the last few decades.
		And if they get this power, they'll definitely use it: just as they tried to stomp out the VCR in the 70's and 80's, the music and movie industries want to force all content to go through their own restricted channels.

		And that's just what the movie studio is willing to reveal about the steps it is taking to prevent pirates from illegally getting their hands on — and making copies of — its impending blockbuster.
		Because movies take so much more time and space to download, the movie industry is less threatened than the music business, says David Davis, senior vice president of the Los Angeles-based investment banking firm Houlihan, Lokey, Howard and Zukin.
		While some argue that movies beamed around the world via satellite would be sure targets for pirates, experts say that the sheer amount of the data — along with military-level encryption — could thwart thieves.

	Movie Industry Sues Second Round of File Traders
		If the media industries only took the time in the late 90's to understand and serve this group - I believe they call it marketing - rather than fight against them their revenues would have significantly increased.
		Of all industries that should know this it should be the movie industry.

	Grumpy Gamer
		Movies are so expensive now, very little risks are taken by any major studio, and so we end up one step forward, two steps back, so to speak.
		Movies, especially the bad ones, are made with a "formula" - script and actors in one end and money comes out the other.
		Anyway, you may still be right in that the movie industry is bigger than the game industry, but there is a lot of information you are leaving out.

	Technology News: Commentary : The Death and Rebirth of the Movie Industry
		The Death and Rebirth of the Movie Industry
		The tools the movie industry is using now should allow, for many movies, the opportunity to pull the movie back in and fix it rather than let it die in the theaters, but it may take some time for the industry to realize and adjust for this.
		The end result should initially be better movie modeling -- the death of story boards -- and, coupled with the do-over feature, eventually the near elimination of expensive bad movies.

		The movie industry has been characterized by concentration, vertical integration, and tightly bound contractual arrangements from the very beginning.
		By 1905, movie projectors allowed films to be viewed simultaneously by larger audiences; and Edison and a few others tried to continue their control of the market, again through their patents on the cameras, projectors, film, and other equipment.
		By the late 1930s, the film industry was dominated by the Five Majors who were fully vertically integrated--that is, they controlled all three phases of the industry: production, distribution, and exhibition--together with three minor distributors.

	Techdirt:Chinese Movie Industry Recognizes Movie Watching Is A Social Experience
		Yesterday we noted that the MPAA and movie theater owners were whining about how much people coming in an taping movies was hurting their business.
		All of these are great places to go, but I think the problem is that the movie industry sees their big market as being those under 18, and these places aren't geared to them.
		Of course if the movie industry and theater chains actually tried to put more of these adult-marketed theaters around, they might at least see a lot more 20+ year-olds going out on dates or even for married couples without kids.

		Any movie mogul worth his private screening room knows that film downloads are next on Job's to-do list (see BW Online, 10/13/05, "The New Guns in Apple's Arsenal").
		And unless the movie industry finds a way to satisfy an increasingly tech-savvy consumer, it could be the music-download debacle all over again: an ineffective army in Armani allowing the tech industry to run away with a growing piece of its market (see BW Online, 10/13/05, "Apple's Baby Steps Toward Movies").
		Movies are currently available for download somewhere between DVD and TV, so if you want to snag an online copy of, say, Warner Bros.' (TWX) Batman Begins, you can't.

		The movie industry's "statutory right to protect its economically valuable trade secret is not an interest that is 'more fundamental' than the First Amendment right to freedom of speech," the judges wrote.

	Sun.Star Davao - Maxey: Saving the movie industry
		The industry can afford to pay their top stars huge sums of money, so much so that many of them own mansions and stables of flashy cars, travel abroad as often as they can in-between location shootings and generally live the life of the very rich.
		Veteran actress Boots Anson Roa, executive director of the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation, Inc. (Mowelfund), said she views piracy as a form of corruption that has become "part of our culture".
		The best solutions for saving the dying movie industry are: (a) produce better quality films that Filipino moviegoers will readily lap up; (b) reduce the price of the VCDs to make them more affordable to the public, and (c) continue pressuring government authorities to go after the pirates without let-up.

		Movies, like anything, whether they are Christian or otherwise, can reflect and reveal the Lord in different ways to different people.
