Film Distribution

Film distrubution is one of the largest peoblems for a film company. There are so many avenues to go down to distrubute a film. In the 60's and 70's films were being sold in a straight forward way.People were visiting the cinemks and renting movies via vhs. Jaws made 130,000,000 of revenue from renting, films get nothing like this from dvd renting or blu ray. Companies now rent via online streaming and this has generated revenue again but not anything like before.

Films were being sold also via vhs as people had these in homes but it is all changing over time.
The 90's saw Vhs sales still high but to the latter of this decade, DVD's were becoming popular and the internet usage was gaining. Law enforcement were still trying to combat pirating via copies on market stalls etc. but people were now starting to download films illegaly, a new way of doing so.

In the 2000's pirating via online grew hugely in the 10 years. Blu ray also meant that films were much higher quality and companies were now offering downloads through itunes. People could buyt a film and watch off an iPod or iPhone. This meant it was going online and streaming websites such as netflix were growing in the later years. Paying a small amount and getting 1000's of movies sounded great and was cutting the growing illegal downloads due to this.

Streaming has grown assively and now companies do not rent via blockbusters due to it being shut down.Companies now focus on sales on streaming, DVD's ,Blu rays and cinema. 3D has meant that more people visit the cinema for the experience and this is what the cinema is becoming, a night out. People go more for the atmosphere than the film as we can now find films on the internet very easily. 3D TV's also mean we can now watch films at home like this. The introduction of 4K has also meant that films are now in better quality than ever. The companies are now filming digitally allowing more places show the filming as its easier to carry or even download
