Document Summary
The business side of movie business (profit, economics etc. ) Huge business (global box office around billion) 6 big businesses (+ one that"s not so important) : (the profits are from 2014) Big companies buying smaller companies is a problem since that would mean the big companies the info control which information is conveyed to the public. As seen above, five major companies own all tv networks (colombia and. Mgm don"t own much) and they don"t offer different opinions. Independent films : created individually, then a company buys the rights and executes it. Big actors aren"t used in these, amateur actors are (probably why these are so cheap) e. g. blair witch project . Pink flamingos , night of the living dead the original halloween since independent films are cheap to make and make a lot of money, companies are really interested in them. People don"t like risks, homogenization of products, repetitive films.
