In this new edition, THE MOVIE BUSINESS BOOK goes beyond motion pictures to the broader world of entertainment for the first time. Seismic shifts are taking centre stage in Hollywood: movies are becoming events and brand names with sequels, spin-offs, soundtracks, video games, comics, television shows, and consumer products. The Internet is increasingly influential, filmmakers are moving from analogue to digital equipment, and the industry is rapidly globalising. All of these changes - and more - are detailed in this new edition of the classic, The Movie Business Book.
