The INDUSTRY
| Despite complaints of economic hardship in other sectors, the film industry continues to grow rapidly. Even with a decline in the number of films made, a report released by the Motion Picture Association of America states that global box office receipts for all films released around the world in 2011 reached $32.6 billion, up 3% over 2010 and 35% higher than five years ago. Each international region experienced box office growth in 2011. Chinese box office grew by 35% in 2011 alone, by far the largest growth in major markets. | International box office ($19.3 billion) made up 64% of the worldwide total, while the North Americas, U.S. and Canada ($10.6 billion) made up 36%, a proportion consistent with the last several years. The North American box office market finished at $10.2 billion, down 4% compared to last year, but up 6% from 5 years ago. A staggering one-third of the North American box office total was from independently produced films. |
The MARKET
The strategy of making films in well-established genres like thrillers has been proven time and time again to be a smart and sound choice for production. Although in years past the fortunes of independent filmmakers cycled up and down from year to year, the independent segment has experienced continued growth since the 1990s: Witness successful independent films such as Drive, Eastern Promises,The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and Black Swan.
