Summary: In a report to the government, the AFC and FFC outline the small market share of box office that Australian films had in 1999 - 3 %. Recommendations are made for increased government funding. It is unlikely that Australian films can compete with US productions but should look at improving competition with British films.

Summary: "This timely volume engages with one of the most important shifts in recent film studies: the turn away from text-based analysis towards the viewer. Historically, this marks a return to early interest in the effect of film on the audience by psychoanalysts and psychologists, which was overtaken by concern with the 'effects' of film, linked to calls for censorship and moral panics rather than to understanding the mental and behavioral world of the spectator. Early cinema history has revealed the diversity of film-viewing habits, while traditional 'box office' studies, which treated the audience initially as a homogeneous market, have been replaced by the study of individual consumers and their motivations. Latterly, there has been a marked turn towards more sophisticated economic and sociological analysis of attendance data. And as the film experience fragments across multiple formats, the perceptual and cognitive experience of the individual viewer (who is also an auditor) has become increasingly accessible. With contributions from Gregory Waller, John Sedgwick and Martin Barker, this work spans the spectrum of contemporary audience studies, revealing work being done on local, non-theatrical and live digital transmission audiences, and on the relative attraction of large-scale, domestic and mobile platforms."--Publisher's website.

Notes: Abstract: Recent empirical literature has identified the importance of information transmission in creating box office blockbusters. It has been shown that box office revenue distributions are characterised by extremities of skew and variance that cannot be explained by such things as expensive budgets, star power, critical acclaim or awards. Empirical research of this industry has subsequently turned its attention to models of information transmission and the consequential implications for box office revenues. Using a large new Australian dataset, this paper adds to the literature by exploring the suitability of the a-stable distribution for various definitions of Australian box office revenues.

Summary: The global slump in box office returns has cinema owners and film distributors worried. Some speculation is that the downturn is due to the rise of DVD, home entertainment systems, and other recreational devices (ipods), coupled with the tightening of the film to dvd to pay tv release window. There is some talk that the older multiplex cinemas are in need of upgrading as they may no longer be up to standard for a modern cinemagoing audience.

Summary: Mainly about the fortunes of the Australian film industry in 2005, in comparison to the earlier years in the decade. Some interesting stats on The Bank which shine a light on the importance of DVD sales and TV sales on top of Box Office.
Notes: accessed from: Factiva. Dow Jones Reuters Business Interactive LLC. RMIT University Library. (14 May 2007). <http://global.factiva.com>
Quotations: -- Assessing the precise value of these additional revenue streams is difficult, but they are important. The experience of the 2001 film The Bank is instructive. Like several of this year's movies, this financial thriller earned about $2.6 million during its original box-office run, which means that about 260,000 Australians saw it on the big screen. But after being released on home formats, and screen on pay and free-to-air TV, its total audience has built to more than 3 million, according to director Robert Connolly.; -- This "accured interest" suggests that the theatrical release can account for less than 10 per cent of a film's eventual audience reach. "My suspicion is that because of the cost of a movie ticket people are increasingly going to the the cinema to see spectable and choosing to see Australian films at home," says Connolly, who also directed Three Dollars. Still, for most films it is the success, however measured, of the theatrical release that largely determines its subsequent fate in other formats, making a strong splash in cinemas just as critical as ever.

Summary: This concise handbook collects essays on all aspects of the motion picture industry by leading authorities in political economy, economics, accounting, financing, and marketing. In addition to bringing the reader an up-to-date perspective on what is known and what has been accomplished, it includes both new findings on a variety of topics and directions for additional research. Topics include the estimation of theatrical and ancillary demand, profitability studies, resolution of evident paradoxes in studio executive behaviour, interaction of the industry and government, impacts of the most recent changes in accounting standards, and the role and importance of participation contracts. New results include findings on the true nature of the seasonality of theatrical demand, the predictive power of surveys based upon trailers, the impact of the Academy Awards, the effectiveness of prior history measures to gauge cast members and directors, and the substitutability of movies across different genres.
