How Hollywood Makes Money

In the past, Hollywood made money primarily through the sale of movie tickets and DVD sales. However, the rise of streaming services has changed this model. Today, streaming services account for a majority of revenue for Hollywood studios.

Streaming services pay Hollywood studios a licensing fee for the right to stream their content. The amount of money that a streaming service pays depends on a number of factors, including the popularity of the content and the number of subscribers that the streaming service has.

In addition to streaming services, Hollywood studios also make money from the sale of merchandise, licensing fees, and theme parks. However, these revenue streams are less significant than streaming revenue.

How Hollywood Wields Power

Hollywood wields power in a number of ways. First, Hollywood has the power to shape public opinion. The movies and TV shows that we watch can influence our views on the world and the way that we think about ourselves.

Second, Hollywood has the power to influence policy. Hollywood studios can use their financial resources to lobby for laws that benefit their interests. They can also use their influence to pressure politicians to support their causes.

Third, Hollywood has the power to create and destroy careers. Hollywood studios can make or break an actor, director, or writer. They can also use their power to silence critics and to suppress dissenting voices.
