A movie product is the intellectual property that can be ported to a variety of deliverables: theatrical exhibit, non-theatrical exhibit, video tapes, DVDs, CDs of the soundtrack, collectible editions, television and cable broadcast, Internet-served etc. Then there is merchandising such as clothing, toys, games, posters. Another product dimension is that of franchise rights, endorsements, product placements and a host of offshoots that are bought and sold, leased and rented. The movie business is one of the most complexes in the communications industry because of its creativity, its diversity and its continual explosions of technological delivery options. PRICE At first glance, pricing in the movie industry seems very standardized. At any multiplex is cinema hall, a movie ticket costs the same for all movies, doesn’t it? But if we look into the broader definition of the movie product just defined, then the prices fluctuate widely. A distribution contract can be structured in many ways that result in very different returns for the producer, the key creative talent, and even the distributor. Elements that are negotiated include: ♣ Theatrical release schedules ♣ Territories and market segments ♣ Revenue splits, percentages and order of payment ♣ Promotion budgets (P&A) Apart from these pre consumer stage pricing differences, we see a wide range of pricing structures

The cinema industry in Canada is an oligopoly with only a few firms producing most or all of the output. In an oligopoly, it is important for companies to closely watch the competition for new technologies, pricing, production, product changes and innovations, and other developments (Althouse, Allan, & Hartt, 2017, p. 38). Two companies in the Canadian industry combine to have 99% of the market share, with Cineplex having 78% and Landmark Entertainment having 21% (Dule, n.d.). Cineplex has 162 operating movie theatres in Canada compared to the 71 theatres of their direct competitor Landmark Entertainment (Dule, n.d.). Cineplex’s strength in the market limits the number of companies within the industry, and therefore entry can be difficult with the “already established relationship between Cineplex and most film producers” (Dule, n.d.). Competition in the cinema industry depends on comfortable seating, overall theatre quality, good
Competition between theaters often comes down to distance from home, convenience of parking and proximity of restaurants. Innovations by one theater chain are quickly adopted by others. The differing approaches of the theater chain companies are reflected in their cost of fixed assets per screen.

Film companies have excelled in how well they can and are able to distribute and market their films and this is because of the introduction of new technologies. These technologies include: Official websites and blog sites, press and public previews, online competitions, phone apps and social networking sites. The typical and traditional form of marketing a film towards an audience would be in the form of film posters and trailers but as technologies have advanced so has marketing methods. For example for one of my case studies, The Avengers have really interesting methods which engages their audience on their website which has direct links to their social networking pages including Facebook and Twitter.

Also film companies tend to use competitions as a form of marketing to the audience for example on the official website of the woman in black the audience got the chance to write a scary ghost story

In the past years, movies were promoted by means of newspaper, radio and TV. Radio was the only medium before television came into picture. People could only afford radio and not tv. Later came black n white tv with only doordarshan channel which was used to broadcast the shows and movies once in a while.
