When you watch a film, no matter if it be at the cinema or in the comfort of your personal dwelling, it is seldom you actually think about exactly where the film was developed and how each film company secured the rights to the movie you happen to be watching on the screen. The film business is particularly competitive. The six major film companies discussed below comprise 90 percent of the US and Canadian box office income. If you happen to be pondering a profession in film, you might want to pay pretty close focus to the statistics below.
