Abstract

Distributors and exhibitors take over and determine where the movie is shown and how widely it gets shown. Exhibitors, who own and control the theatres, will also decide on the duration of a movie’s cinema run. The timing of a movie’s release is important as well. At peak holiday seasons, there are bigger audiences available. Yet there might also be more competition for eyes on screen from other movies. For distributors, a long cinema run means more money, but for exhibitors, declining audiences for a movie over time can mean less income. Cinema run durations must be planned to maximise financial returns from theatres and other distribution platforms such as video and TV.
