  • How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry
    How Are the Major Streaming Services Reshaping the Film Industry Master Thesis MSc Strategy, Organization and Leadership Submission: May 9th, 2018 Normal pages: 106 (237.228 characters incl. spaces) Supervisor: Mehran Moghaddas (DVIP, INT) Students: Viktoria Vas & Gerda Binkyte Copenhagen Business School 2018 Abstract The paper examines the effects major streaming services, such as Netflix, Amazon, HBO have on the Danish film industry, and seeks to identify how individual producers and independent production companies in the country can exploit the rising opportunities. The research used a mix of deductive and inductive reasoning in the analysis, for which twelve semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with industry professionals from Denmark over the course of five weeks. This led to insightful findings that can be used for further researches for both academics and professionals. The analysis built on theories discussed in the literature review; Porter’s five forces (Porter, 1979), supply chain, emerging strategy (Mintzberg, 1987), marketing mix, four trajectories of change (McGahan, 2004). The findings include changes in certain links in the supply chain of film production, such as; affects on producers and film financing, changes in sales and distribution. While for producers SVOD services mainly bring additional financing opportunities, decreasing the power of DFI and the national broadcasters, sales agents and distribution is highly affected. Sales agents will need to adapt to the changing conditions, and transform themselves from traditional sales agents to agents who offer extra services for their clients. Distribution is affected in a way that its release windows system is disrupted and shortening some of these windows might not be avoided in the future.

Ad insaputa del vicinato, dietro questa casa, c’è un grande rifugio segreto. Lì, in mezzo a un piccolo esercito di schiavi, scopriamo Gru (doppiato da Steve Carell), che sta progettando il più grande colpo della storia del mondo: rubare la luna! (si, proprio la luna) Gru adora ogni genere di misfatti. Armato di un arsenale di razzi che restringono o congelano e di veicoli in grado di combattere via terra e via aria, Gru travolge e conquista tutto ciò che trova sulla sua strada. Ma tutto questo cambia il giorno in cui si imbatte in tre ragazzine orfane molto determinate, che gli daranno filo da torcere e che vedono in lui qualcosa che nessun altro ha mai visto prima: un potenziale papà. Un cast di celebrità guidato da Steve Carell (Ortone e il mondo dei Chi, Agente Smart Casino Totale, The Office) dà voce ai vari personaggi del film: Jason Segel (Non mi scaricare, la sitcom ‘E alla fine arriva mamma’); Kristen Wiig (Saturday Night Live, Ghost Town); Danny McBride (Strafumati, Tropic Thunder, Land of the Lost); Will Arnett (Ortone e il mondo dei Chi, Arrested Development); Russell Brand (Non mi scaricare, Racconti incantati); Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords); Jack McBrayer (30 Rock, Non mi scaricare); Miranda Cosgrove (star dello show di successo di Nickelodeon, iCarly); e la leggendaria Julie Andrews (Principe azzurro cercasi, Mary Poppins, Tutti insieme appassionatamente).
