To make an informed decision about going to watch a movie, consumers should gather as much information as possible about the film before making their decision. So, where do people go to get this kind of information?
Movie trailers, on the other hand, provide a wealth of information, but only for those who are willing to invest the money necessary to have the trailer widely circulated. Furthermore, these trailers only reach the individuals who actually go to the cinema or watch television long enough to see them in action. For some films, their advertising campaign begins a year before their release date to ensure that their film is well-known by the time of its release. However, how much information can these trailers provide to the buyer regarding the overall quality of the film?
They are unable to do so. In this case, the role of the film reviewers is crucial.
Consumers must depend on movie reviewers to provide them with the most accurate information about the quality of a film before it is released in theatres. Movie reviewers serve as financial counsellors to customers, advising them on whether films are worth their time and money. Their evaluations may inform their readers about the quality of a range of films, including how hilarious, engaging, well-acted, and captivating they are before they decide whether or not to watch them. Readers may then use this knowledge to choose whether or not they should spend their money on a movie or something more important in the future.
From the standpoint of the movie business, if there is a correlation between critical evaluations and the number of people who go to see a film, this might be useful information in making distribution decisions. They may elect to distribute a film in more theatres on opening weekend if it performs well in test screenings or if they expect positive reviews from critics. This will increase the likelihood of the film bringing in more cash on opening weekend. Even though it is difficult to forecast critics’ evaluations, certain films are often accompanied by “Oscar Buzz,” which indicates that they are projected to get highly positive critical reviews relatively early in their release.
In addition, some films provide early screenings to reviewers to gauge their responses to them. The producers of films that receive overwhelmingly positive reviews from these advance screenings (such as 2008’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” which has already been pegged as an early front-runner for the Best Picture Oscar nomination before it has even been released) may decide to spend the additional money necessary to release the film in more theatres if they believe that the positive reviews will result in a more profitable film.
Final thought
We may also draw the conclusion that the marketing encourages people to read reviews of the film, which, ideally, would be favourable in nature. As a result, it seems that the most effective strategy for achieving the largest box office gross is to develop the finest movie possible while simultaneously implementing an extraordinary and engaging marketing campaign top the film.
