Research has tracked the movies released theatrically in the U.S. to determine where they were filmed, why they filmed in the locations they did and how much was spent to produce them. We do this to help businesspeople and policymakers, particularly those with investments in California, better understand the state’s place in the competitive business environment that is feature film production. For reasons described later in this report’s methodology section, FilmL.A. adopted a different film project sampling method for 2016. This year, our sample is based on the top 100 feature films at the domestic box office released theatrically within the U.S. during the 2016 calendar

  • The Surprise Drop: the Cloverfield Paradox, Unreal, and Evolving Patterns in Streaming Media Distribution and Reception
    . Volume 16, Issue 2 November 2019 The Surprise Drop: The Cloverfield Paradox, UnREAL, and evolving patterns in streaming media distribution and reception Cory Barker, Bradley University, USA Abstract: This article examines the surprise release, a recent phenomenon where albums, films, and TV series are distributed to digital retailers and streaming platforms without notice. This approach to distribution arises out of the modern media ecosystem, where niche consumer groups access vast content libraries on personalized devices. Surprise ‘drops’ aim to redefine the ephemerality of media objects and shift consumers’ shortened attention spans into temporary moments of interest. Utilizing a cross-industry comparison between early surprise releases in music (namely from Beyoncé and U2) and more recent examples in film (Netflix’s The Cloverfield Paradox) and television (Hulu’s UnREAL season four), this article explores how media conglomerates exploit the technical process of digital distribution for discursive and cultural value. Critical analysis of promotional materials (trailers, interviews, and social media ephemera) reveals how surprise releases make distribution the centerpiece of multi-platform publicity campaigns that aim to leverage fan conversation into clicks, streams, and downloads. More than typical releases, surprise drops are framed as gifts, or ways for artists to give back to passionate fans. The contrast between industries also highlights how the function of surprise releases has evolved from artists’ expression of influence in music to an effort to redefine troubled projects in film and television. Keywords: Digital Distribution; Streaming Video; Marketing and Promotion; Gift Economy; Affective Cycles; Netflix; Hulu; Ephemeral Media; Surprise Releases The first trailer for The Cloverfield Paradox (2018), the third instalment in the J.J.
