  • Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No
    For Exhibitors October 12, 2020 Screendollars About Films, the Film Industry No. 138 Newsletter and Cinema Advertising Sparked by this year’s renewed interest in independent distributors and genre films, we celebrate the creativity of American International Pictures, the pioneer of mass-production, low-budget film making. AIP was founded in 1954 as American Releasing Corporation (ARC) by Samuel Arkoff, an entertainment lawyer, and James Nicholson, a former sales manager for Realart Pictures. They soon expanded into production so they could take full control of their product, both creatively and financially. AIP developed a checklist of creative elements to ensure a film’s appeal to their target youth audience, largely overlooked by studios of the day. Their ARKOFF formula, named after the founder, included these elements: Action, Revolution, Killing, Oratory, Fantasy and Fornication. AIP would frequently bundle multiple pictures to play as double features at the nearly 4000 drive-ins (Click to Play) operating in the US in the 50’s and 60’s. One of AIP’s famously prolific and successful directors, was Roger Corman, "The Pope of Pop Cinema", who established a cult following for himself and AIP through his adaptions of Edgar Allen Poe tales as horror films. Famously, AIP’s new project development began by creating the film’s title and movie poster, which was then market-tested to confirm interest before the screenwriter, director and cast were hired. Today’s independent producers have many lessons they can learn from the film entrepreneurs

  • Weekend Box Office Results
    Monday, November 16, 2020 | No. 142 Jack Elam was one of the most widely recognized character actors working in film and television during his five- decade career beginning in the 1950’s. Born in Arizona 100 years ago on 11/13/1920, after graduating high school Elam moved to Los Angeles and enrolled in Santa Monica Junior College. After serving two years in the US Navy during WWII, he embarked on a career as an accountant. By chance, Samuel Goldwyn was one of his bookkeeping clients, and Elam was able to parlay the connection into his first role in acting. Elam became well-known for playing villains in dozens of Westerns and gangster stories popular during that period. He played his desperados with an air of crazy, accentuated by his physical appearance. As a youth, Elam lost the use of his left eye after being stabbed in it with a pencil during a fight with another Boy Scout from his troop. Later in his career, Elam played a wider range of roles, including comedic performances in films such as Support your Local Sheriff, Support your Local Gunfighter and The Cannonball Run. The contribution of character actors is often overlooked in Hollywood’s paparazzi culture, lost in the shadow of the bright lights trained on headliners. However, good character actors are highly regarded by their fellow actors, and often enjoy long careers that span decades.

    Monday, April 5, 2021 | No. 162 Happy 95th birthday to legendary filmmaker Roger Corman, born on April 5, 1926. Known as "The Pope of Pop Cinema", Corman began his career in the 1950’s as a writer, director and producer of low-budget genre films, including westerns, horror and sci-fi cult classics such as Highway Dragnet (1954), The Day the World Ended (1955), It Conquered the World (1956), Not of This Earth (1957) and House of Usher (1960). He became the leading filmmaker for American International Pictures, the producer-distributor of 1950’s and 60’s low-budget, independent films which were popular as drive-in double features. At AIP, Corman’s technique was to work very fast and very cheap, often shooting multiple films back-to-back on the same location. AIP made the most of Corman's production skills, frequently beginning a film’s development by creating a poster and then showing it to movie fans to gauge interest. Corman created a factory for micro- budget filmmaking which gave break-in opportunities to young directors and actors at the start of Happy Birthday to their careers. Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Peter Bogdanovich, James Roger Corman – Click to Play Cameron, Joe Dante and Jonathan Demme all learned their filmmaking techniques by working on projects with Corman. Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda, Bruce Dern, Charles Bronson, Dennis Hopper, Talia Shire, Sandra Bullock, Diane Ladd, William Shattner and Robert De Niro gained visibility as young actors in Corman’s low-budget productions. In 1960, Corman directed for AIP the horror film House of Usher, starring Vincent Price, based on an 1839 short story by Edgar Allan Poe.

  • Vertical Integration of the Film Industry
    Hollywood Why is Hollywood such a successful film industry? Hollywood Vertical integration of the Hollywood film industry Vertical integration was a key feature of the Hollywood studio system up to 1948. The ‘Big Five’ studios were: "The Big Five," major studios realized they could maximize their profits by controlling each stage of a film's life: • production (making the film), • distribution (getting the film out to people), • exhibition (owning first-run cinemas in major cities). • "The Little Three" studios also made pictures, but each lacked one of the crucial elements of vertical integration. • Together these eight companies essentially controlled the entire market. They also controlled the terms under which you could see their films. Prestige or “A-Movies” used studio stars and lavish production values, and then could only be seen initially in studio-owned, first-run cinemas. When the studios released these films to cinemas they didn't own, they forced those owners to buy A-pictures in combination with a number of, often mediocre, B- pictures (no stars, bargain-basement genre pictures) and shorts, a practice called "block booking." Moreover, the studios often made the exhibitors buy the films blind, not allowing them to see what they were getting before they got it. The end of Hollywood's Golden Age In 1948 the studios were ordered to give up their cinemas, opening the market to smaller producers. This, coupled with the advent of television in the 1950s, seriously compromised the studio system's power and profits. Hence, 1930 and 1948 are generally considered bookends to Hollywood's Golden Age, the period when these eight companies secured 95 percent of all film rentals and close to 70 percent of all box-office receipts.
