FAQ
Is Hollywood more important than Bollywood?
The biggest challenge for any film producer is how to make sure his movie gets noticed by audiences.
Problem is, there are many films competing for viewers' time and money. If you don't stand out, your chances of being seen are slim.
But what makes a movie successful? What makes an actor a star? Or a director? It's not just talent - it's also luck. You might have all the best actors in the world, but if they're working on a bad script, nothing will come of it.
And when it comes to films, there are two main types: big-budget blockbusters and small independent productions. Production and distribution of blockbuster movies costs hundreds of millions. These movies are often made by large studios that want their films to reach as many people as possible. But these big-budget films tend to appeal mainly to older audiences.
Independent films can be smaller productions funded by individuals or groups. These films focus on niche markets or cater to particular tastes. They're usually less expensive to produce and market. However, this does not mean they are always less expensive to watch. In fact, most indie films are very hard to find.
Is it possible to have both types of films? Do we need blockbuster movies, or smaller independent films? Hollywood is larger than Bollywood, in my opinion. That's because Hollywood produces almost twice as many movies per year as India does!
How much does Hollywood make in a year?
It costs about $100 million to make an average movie. If you produced ten movies per year for a decade you would have enough money to purchase a small country.
You would have your own island, including an airport, a power station, a bank and a post office.
If you don't find this to be fun, then you are probably insane.
What percentage of the box office goes to marketing budgets?
Marketing budgets can account for as much as 20% to 40% of a film’s overall budget. Marketing is crucial to any film's success.
Without good marketing, no one knows about your film. People won't pay for it if they don’t know about it.
