  • The US Film Industry
    Jono Polansky, Onbeyond LLC August 2020 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ This SFM guide to who owns what in the US screen entertainment industry — movies, broadcast, cable and streaming — has been updated to reflect developments in tobacco content and changes in corporate ownership. We put this map together so public health experts, parents, young people and policy makers can identify who decides if smoking shows up in entertainment accessible to kids. The US film industry MAJOR STUDIOS | The US feature film industry is dominated by five “major studio” distributors. In 2019, their top-grossing films accounted for 81 percent of all youth-rated tobacco impressions delivered to domestic theater audiences. The studios develop, finance, and market film projects domestically and worldwide. Almost all films with production budgets greater than $50 million are major studio films. Studios may not break even on theatrical showings of a film, but a film’s box office, split roughly 50-50 with the theaters, strongly predicts the revenue the studio keeps to itself when the film is later released on DVD and licensed to on-demand, cable, and broadcast services. Most studio revenue comes from those “long tail” after-markets. In addition, 70 percent of US studios’ theatrical revenue now comes from outside the United States, which helps explain why easy-to-sell “franchise” films are prized by major studios. The major studios are represented by a trade group, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), dominate its board of directors. The MPA owns and administers the movie ratings (G/PG/PG-13/R,NC-17), with a nod to the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), which plays a role in enforcing age restrictions.

    www.cablefax.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 45 Pages Today CableFAX DailyTM Thursday — February 27, 2014 What the Industry Reads First Volume 25 / No. 039 Beat the Street: Cablevision Posts Some Good Numbers For months, Jim Dolan & Co have touted their new strategic plan for Cablevision. With 4Q results, we may have glimpsed the results, with sub losses (-18K) and AOCF (+7.5% to $456.6mln) better than expected. Shares of CVC closed up nearly 4% Wed. The MSO has held tight since Aug to its plan not to offer additional promos to subs who’ve been on long-running promotions. Optimum Services pres Kristin Dolan said that internally mgmt refers to it as the “no soup for you strategy,” but she added that a “significant majority of those customers are still with us 5 and 6 months after they’ve called us for an extension beyond 36 months or even less than that. We’re pleasantly surprised.” CEO Jim Dolan promised that pricing discipline would continue. Mgmt also stuck to its guns about making the call only about financials—offering not even the tiniest bit of color on cable consolidation. That doesn’t stop the speculation. “Simply be- ing small doesn’t make [Cablevision] a target,” concluded MoffettNathanson analysts, who doubt any Charter interest in CVC. “The Comcast/TWC deal robs them of one acquirer. And the divestitures that Comcast has agreed to make in order to stay below an erstwhile 30% subscriber cap robs them of another.” Cablevision also faces growth challenges given its industry leading penetration in all services.
