Executive summary
In 1992, an unusual business idea came into the eye of David A. Davis, a movie industry analyst in Los Angeles. The idea is basically about creating an investment group, Arundel partners, which would purchase the sequel rights associated with films produced by one or more major movie studios before the first films are made. With the sequel right, Arundel could decide whether to make the second film …show more content…

    Delaware County Case Study

    Delaware County, Indiana is home to 117,074 people according to the United States census. The county is home to the eleventh largest city in the state of Indiana and the third largest university in the state. With the area having such a large footprint on the rest of the state, the next part to understand is how Delaware County became what it is today. The lasting impacts the community has had on millions of people throughout the last 200 years have been thanks in part to a massive expansion in population, infrastructure, and industry. Those expansions started with a boom of the economy in the middle to late 1800s due to the discovery of natural gas in east central Indiana. Starting with the way of life before that discovery, the Delaware County region expanded because of multiple people and industries and now enjoys many successes even years after the gas boom. The gas boom in Delaware County not only affected the area immediately in a positive way, but it also impacted the area in the long run that still to this day affect the way of life in a positive manner.…

    Terminator 2: Judgment Day

    As Lewis points out, the studio films of the 1980s and 1990s were put together as packages based more on profit than artistry, while the marketing and promotion resembled that of a political campaign, with as much as one-third of the budget going to advertising costs (2008, p. 399). Today, however, with no norm being the norm, especially in the realms of financing and marketing, films are advertised and distributed individually--sometimes based on the target audience or projected success of the film--in arrangements worked out by the studios, producers, and…

    Erickson Center Case Study

    Based on the analysis given to the different Kwik trip locations, I believe that the best option would be the Erickson Center location. For example although it has less benefits customer wise, it is open all year round and has more opportunity to stay open. Another example, cost of the land is $450,000 and since we started with an allowance of $750,000 to build our capital, this gives us a $300,000 incentive. While throughout the period, we have a continuing amount of customers, while at the lumber king’s stadium eventually after baseball season there would be a scarcity of customers. Although we get less customers throughout the year at the Erickson center, we also require less workers so less labor we have to pay for. With the amount of profit we make $100,000 per month times the whole year, equals $1,200,000.…

    Lorpel Partnership Model: Limitations Of The Partnership Model

    The partnership model is one of the limitations of LorPel because when a problem arose, each of them held different ideas, and none of them had the authority to make the final call. If they would not compromise regarding the firm’s blueprint at all, the partnership might have to come to an end. Normally speaking, if there are no specific company policies in place to direct and govern a firm, the operation or growth would not sustain for a long time. In partnership like LorPel, the success of the business heavily depended on the three partners. It is obvious that business risk of the partnership is rather high because none of them was not regarded as experienced and successful businessman.…

    Tino Ballio And Robert Ray's Analysis Of The Movie

    Between 1948 when the Paramount decision was made, and 1969 when the last of the majors was bought out by a conglomerate, the structure of the film industry underwent its most drastic alteration since its inception, and a prolonged period of economic struggle and uncertainty. Two film historians, Robert Ray and Tino Balio, have created causal accounts of this change. Both authors agree that one of the most significant causal factors in the economic downfall of Hollywood, and its subsequent need to change to survive, was the audience’s loss of interest in traditional Hollywood fare. Each author however…

    America Vs Texas

    America Vs Texas

    It is visually represented in its cinematography, with writing and acting it brings its stories of whimsical imagination and harsh truths to life and gives composers the chance to write the iconic scores that viewers never forget. At the root of every film is a hardworking group of people who simply wanted to bring their thoughts to life and learned how to work together to make that dream a reality. The United States of America has a very special relationship with the film industry. American film is part of the national identity that all American’s share and should be a point of pride for everyone in the country. It is culturally one of our nation’s greatest achievements, with the potential to be remembered historically as one of humanity’s great artistic mediums and continues to get better as more platforms are created to give as many filmmakers of all backgrounds a voice. Deeper within the context of American film culture, it is apparent that every state has a unique contribution to the nation’s collection of great cinema. Texas has had its ups and downs when providing a budget for film industry tax rebates and the future of the program is uncertain. In the face of adversity from lawmakers who care little about film and seek to defund it, Texas film will only continue if the outcry to preserve authentic Texas filmmaking is felt and a desire to be competitive with other states in film production incentives exists within the Texas legislature. Otherwise, the neighboring states of Louisiana and New Mexico or other emerging film states, like Georgia and Kentucky will continue to outplay Texas in attracting movie producers. However, Texas could potentially step up and become a major participant in incentivizing the production of film in the nation. But, before that can happen, Texas lawmakers have to be convinced that supporting the local film industry is beneficial to the state’s economic growth. Only if…

    The Studio Years

    Hollywood’s classical era could not have occurred without the financial support of Wall Street and the government’s economic recovery programs. New York financiers and banking firms had been involved with the movie industry since the early 1920s, particularly in the studio's theater chain expansion and conversion to sound. Wall Street’s involved increased in the 1930s as various firms engineered and financed the reorganization of foundering studios and became more directly involved in their management and operations as…
