Movies can make hundreds of millions of profits from different currencies like dollars, pounds, euros or other countries currency. In India, movies became a tremendous part of their economy. Dominated by a few major studios, the movie industry is powered by companies like Warner, MGM, Paramount or Columbia. There are also several huge companies that provides services to make a movie. They provide the props, special effects, building the set and lighting.
Movies that have big financial budget and famous holly wood stars on their cast are meant to touch a whole wide appeal. Producers, directors, staff and cast do everything to make the movie stand out and millions of movie goers will spend a couple of dollars to watch them. Movies that costs too much to make are called blockbusters. Special effects is a very important factor in making a movie specially the latest CGI effects, it can add more life but can surely make the budget more expensive.
These days, movies can cost up to $200 million to make, but this cost is nothing compared to the return of investment when the movie is released to the public. It can earn a lot more than how much they have spent, that is why movies like these are still produced. In order to make this movie a hit, they need to promote it on several television channels, newspaper ads, radio, billboards, and on the web.
Opposite to blockbusters are the independent, art, or Indie movies. These are normally produced by groups of small time directors that are still making their way to the big screen of some small movie companies. Indie films are slowly becoming popular but not yet to the extent that they are considered main stream. They are unusual but still interesting.
Independent movies oftentimes create not so ordinary or strange stories, some may have unexpected endings and doesn’t attract so much to the public. The public are more used to happy endings like in the big screen. The people behind the indie films rarely make a lot of money. However, if the movie is a success, big movie studios will offer them huge amounts to make another film.
