i agree with the statement because huge companies like Disney have bought so many things that they can waste money on advertising they're films on things like oranges and just about everything else you can think of, drilling what they've made into your head so you have to see the movie as soon as its released. a lot of people don't watch movies they would like to see because its advertisement budget is not as big as other global companies.
since the beginning of film the British film industry and Hollywood have had a constant battle on box office hits and grossing profit, with Alfred Hitchcock, the British film industry had the lead until he moved to Hollywood and made 'Rebecca' (1940). Hollywood then had the lead for a while because they had better technology to make their films with the Brits obviously got hold of eventually levelling out the playing field into will took the lead again with franchises like "Harry Potter" and 'James bond'.
the battle has never really stopped though as more technology is constantly being created and shared between film industry now all it comes down to really is who has a original idea that has never been done before.
the Hollywood film i chose was 'pulp fiction' (1994) the script probably wouldn't appeal to most audiences but it turns out it did as it made $107,928,762. whereas the British film i chose (trainspotting 1996) even though it was still a hit, it only made $16,491,080. Both the films were 18s so they both had the same chance but i guess Pulp fiction made more money because it was released first. both films were 'black comedy drama's' but the most profitable film genre has been adventure since 1995.because they were both rated 18 not everyone could see them with lead film makers to make films like harry potter and the kings speech to have a lower age rating and get more views.
