Impact on Hollywood Box Office

                                                            Impact on Hollywood Box Office


Some popular new characters - Katniss Everdeen, Ted the bear big mouth - a member of a number of known ones (Batman, Bond, Baggins) for a lift to deliver moviegoing in North America in 2012, increasing the presence of 5, 6 percent after two years of decline .

 Projections show that around 1360 million people will watch movies this year, compared with 1.29 billion in 2011. Ticket sales for the North American cinemas is expected to jump by 6 percent, to 10.8 billion dollars, according to Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. What really matters is that Hollywood increase achieved without raising prices.

The expected lift, which factors in crowds for two big films that are open on Christmas Day, "Django Unchained" and "Les Miserables", the industry's biggest annual increase since 2002. Last, studios and traded theater chains like Regal Entertainment little drops in the annual rate, forcing them into bankruptcy of revenue by charging more for admission and concessions.

"I truly believe that momentum from weekend to weekend is crucial - it was fun, let's return - and we have some periods of the year," said Greg Foster, president of IMAX entertainment film. IMAX Domestic ticket sales will end the year with 50 percent, he said, is the result of popular movies and a growing dependence of Imax in studies as a way to distinguish between releases.

But how Americans react to the film was less important for studies in 2012. Look no further than "Ice Age: Continental Drift" from 20th Century Fox, to understand why. North American ticket sales for "Continental Drift," the fourth installment in the animated series, totaling $ 161 million, a 24 percent decrease in "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs' in 2009, after adjusting for inflation.

Why Fox is happy with his performance and develop ideas for a fifth chapter? Because "Continental Drift" took in $ 714 million overseas, including $ 68 million in China alone. "This is a landmark year for relations between China and Hollywood," says Phil Contrino, editor of Boxoffice.com. "It is now very clear how important China is the world's gross of a movie."

Film is a cyclical industry where a number of hits (or misses) can whipsaw results. To this end, highlights analysts that 2012 benefited greatly from just two films: "The Hunger Games" in March and "Skyfall" in November.

 MGM roared back to life after years of fiscal turmoil, including bankruptcy. Apart from "Skyfall," MGM benefited from "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", a co-production with New Line Cinema Warner unit number 1 was the weekend, taking in an estimated $ 36.7 million, for a total new national $ 149900000 according to Hollywood.com.

But most film companies had a mixed year.

Given the marketing power, nine of Sony's movie number 1 at the box office. Sony also successfully re-key franchise with "The Amazing Spider-Man", where $ 752,200,000 worldwide. But high costs for films such as "Men in Black III" and flops like "Total Recall", ate in profitability.

Disney found a new blockbuster franchise with "The Avengers", but also took a $ 200 million write-down of the big-budget sci-fi epic "John Carter".

Also Universal Pictures had steep losses caused by animal "Battleship", but new franchises in raunchy "Ted" that $ 502 million in tickets sold worldwide, and "Snow White and the Huntsman" which took in nearly $ 400 million.
